If only my eyes do not pain

If only my eyes do not pain
If only these eyes do not get tired
Eyes they are of a human frailty

I could have written a thousand
More poems in
256 ghz

but I am just a man
a mere mortal
with mortal eyes

I am not Dracula
I am not God

I have eyes that pain
I have fingers that tremble
I have a body that is frail
I have a soul that once in a while
Falter and fall and stumble

So please bear with me
In my tiredness the words slow down
Like dying soldiers in the front
While the war rages on and on and on
