Early Aching Eyes


Reluctant lids stretch forth another rousing birth
An early guide delivers warning of tainted waiting claws
Infernal stares seer through unguarded early skin
Hissing comments suggest the evidence of flaws

Reluctant muscles absorb new messages to move
The fallen crouches in a close and distant shadowed realm
Their licking mouths cough up twisting whispered words
They climb upon the holding gray and ache to overwhelm

Reluctant steps bring a slow forward motion to achieve
Good friend spirit leaves word of their dreams to war
One thousand greasy keys drag upon their weighted chains
They reach to open doors inside where bones were left before

Reluctant motors turn to energize the temple’s fire
The ghost reveals devolved wings stirring closer still
The aching consumes everything within their paths
They are forced to attack the growing day, a blurring will

Their reluctant claws reach to grasp the stepping mind
but good desperate thoughts have turned to armored light
and a touch primes the heart for another span of battles old
It begins with sweet surrender, without a turn to fight

Their reluctant words choke up hints of angry struggles
The friends of good spirit soak up the beautiful release
The Whispers that held brokenness and wrongful trouble
fall behind the gleaming light and pale to drown beneath

As the ready eyes grow wide for another rousing birth
the early guides bestow warming wings upon the day
The churning of good motors brings the temple to be full
and the aching fallen fall away

(sigh) Wow, this is powerful, dearest friend, I just can't leave this empty-handed of comments as every poet has a special voice, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Timothy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Mistletoe - Thanx the no responses to this poem was starting to make we wonder if I should revise it. Thanx for the comment.

I got a response for you, Tim.

WOW!!!

I am still shaking my head and hunching off the chills that this one gave me.

Reminded me clearly of Ephesians 6:10-15

Your metaphors are incredible!!! and I can't wait to read more of your work.  Dang, I just got another chill.

Awestruck, this goes into my library.

Magic -
You really made my morning... really needed some incouragement to get me going.  God bless you.  I honestly believe there is a whole other world out there full of stories that will never be told - the battles waged amongst angels and demons. I would suppose as humans that we unknowingly decide which we enpower with better weaponry.  It's about time we help out the good guys.

Thanx again and God bless you - Tim
