Herpes Zoster

Herpes zoster After a simple dinner chitchatting with a friend Felt itch in the loins with burning a sensation It seemed strange and my hand touched the spot Lo! It was there with a bang, the Herpes zoster. The attack so sudden and surreptitiously silent It took quite some time for me to come to senses It was night in a remote mountainous hamlet It was a crisis that left me really flabbergasted. As night passed it erupted in all its ferocity Each passing moment seemed like an epoch No help expected from any corner at night It was a first nightmare I experienced in life. The next morning saw a proper physician He instantly diagnosed it as herpes zoster Gave medicines and lotions and injection And advised me to grin and bear the pain. Two months have passed since that night Each day’s pain quietly reminding me To wait patiently for that jubilant day Free from nagging anguish and agony.
