A Panacea! Poem by Ramesh T A

Have I taken Lethe to be drowsy ever?
Caught by cold long I feel so since long!
Only sleep comes when I see TV or Website!
Immersed in poesy I escape from boredom!

Opium eater Coleridge wrote master poems
And recited poems to overcome pain of gout!
I have similar kind of experience by poetry
Which is a heaven sent panacea for illness!

Lives of creative artists are ever in pains
Getting relief only in art works like poetry,
Paining, sculpture and music immortal.....!

How bad and horrible for poor guys always
Immersed in illnesses incurable forever....
If they don't have taste for art in some form!
