Symptoms Poem by Sathya Narayana

In eyes a burning sensation
…tears spill down without your knowing
…eyelids oft droop as if in intoxication
…cheeks turn pink,
lips tremble,
…the tongue and throat feel dry,
…thirsty…so thirsty
…body shivers as if a hot-wave
has passed through
…shining beads of cold sweat appear
on face and dribble down
till wash the toes.

O' dear, O' dear
my friend beautiful
…check the temperature,
make sure your B.P. is normal!
Watch out…may be fever
…may not be too!
Most probably
you're thinking of me! !
