I gaze at the most beautiful blue eyes
That I have ever seen.
They are also the deadliest blue eyes
That I have ever seen.
They say that the eyes
Are the window to one's soul,
And you are no exception, Darken Rahl,
Even though you have great skill
In keeping your true feelings hidden.
Often, too often,
Your eyes are as cold and as hard as steel.
Your eyes speak of one
Seeking the death of all his enemies
By whatever methods necessary.
When your eyes are like that,
One can easily make the assumption
That you have no conscience;
And there are indeed times, too many times,
Where you don't seem to care
About all the pain and agony
That you inflict on others.
Your eyes usually do not betray any emotion.
At those times, it is as if you are empty of feeling.
Everything about you, including your eyes, is unreadable.
One does not know what you are thinking.
One does not know if you are angry or in a good mood,
Or what can be considered a good mood for you.
One does not know what to expect from you.
You are unpredictable,
And your eyes reflect that.
What are you thinking?
There's no doubt that you are thinking something.
You may be heartless at times,
But you are definitely never mindless.
Most of the time, though, your eyes do not betray
What you are thinking.
Are you thinking about killing someone?
There's no telling with you.
You could be thinking about anything,
From what you want to have for breakfast
To who you will execute next
In order to make an example for everyone else.
Sometimes your eyes
Reflect the opposite of your actions.
I have seen you with emotionless eyes
As you slashed someone with your knife
Or snapped someone's neck.
I have seen you with calm eyes
As you slashed someone with your knife
Or snapped someone's neck.
You are the Lord of Contradictions.
The emotions in the words that you speak
Sometimes do not reflect the emotions
Expressed in your eyes.
I have seen you with a smile on your face,
While your eyes burned with anger at the same time.
The look in your eyed usually does not show
Whether or not a person
Is going to survive their encounter with you.
With your unreadable eyes,
There's no telling if life or death will follow.
Your eyes, however, are not always devoid of emotion.
There are times when one can see
That you feel just as much as everyone else.
There are times where your eyes
Reflect the human stored deep down inside you.
I have seen your eyes in a demonic, crazed state.
When your eyes are like that,
I can't help but wonder
If you're processed by something evil.
I have also seen your eyes blazing with anger.
When your eyes are like that,
I fear for my life,
For you could strike out at any moment.
It is at those times when you are the most violent,
And when you are the most likely
To kill whoever is within your times.
When your eyes are angry,
It is best to flee
In the opposite direction of you.
I have also seen vulnerability and sadness
In those beautiful blue eyes of yours.
I love your eyes the most
When they are like that.
It is at those times
That I can safely call you human.
It is at those times
When I want to embrace and comfort you,
But I know better than to approach you.
You are subject to quick mood changes,
And your eyes do not always reflect that.
Your eyes do not always give a warning
Of the danger that is about to come.
You can turn from soft to violent
Faster than the eye can blink,
And by the time your eyes reflect that,
It's too late
For whoever feels your wrath.
Your eyes are angry,
But your victim is already dead.
You are not always violent, though.
There are times
When your eyes are gentle, almost warm.
Alas, those times are not enough.
Your eyes sparkle brightly
When you are happy,
But you are rarely happy.
On the few occasions that you are happy, though,I like to gaze into your blue eyes.
Your eyes are always beautiful,
Even when they are deadly and threatening,
But your eyes are definitely the most beautiful
When you are at some degree of peace.
If only you were at peace more often.
You spend most of the time
With an indifferent look in your eyes.
There's no telling what you're thinking.
There's no telling
What you're going to do next.
However, there are also times
When your eyes betray more
Than what your voice betrays,
Than what the rest of your body betrays.
You have great control over your emotions;
But you are still human,
And even you, Lord of Hiding Emotions,
Cannot always control the feelings in your eyes.
