Fever’s Hold on Me

 

Its been some time since I posted.  This last week was very busy, and I was sick with fever for a couple of days.  I’m well now and thankful for antibiotics 🙂

Anyway I’m quite sure most of you will understand then this poem.

Fever’s Hold on Me

 

Shiver, shake, sweat clothes, bedding bundle

Back and forth tossing, turning and tumble

 

Every muscle, even bones seem to ache

Sweat, shiver, how many hours will this take

 

Mind race, to and from decisions made

Back again, no order so decisions unmade

 

Think of everyone and no-one I know

Think of everything to do, when and how

 

Turn and toss sweat and ache even more

Moments lucid, then lost behind fevers door

 

Round and round a wrap of clothes bind

Round and round a wrap of confused mind

 

Hours of torture over, body finally tamed

Oh this cold this fever finally named

 

Coming back down to earth in this puddle

But my mind no longer lost and befuddled

 

Feverish night is like insanity in view

I hope it is a long time before anther flu

 Mike
