Eyes red, pulse slow
Teeth clenched, in readiness for the next blow.
Breath heavy, chest heaving
I stare fixedly, at the empty ceiling.
Body flaccid, thoughts skewed
Mind battles, with pledges renewed.
Mercury rises, my limbs quiver
Pills swallowed, welcome to my fever.
P.S.- This 'rhyme' was composed last year when I was suffering from severe illness. Another bout with illness and a serendipitous retrieval of an old notepad, got it in its present form.
