It Visited Me At Last

It visited me at last,
The one which I loath to call on,
Even for my worst enemy,
Like a plantain stem fallen on its sword on bed.
Trembling,shivering,
Unable to walk,
unable to sit,
unable to think,
Unable to breath,
Oh! the tip of my tiny hair follicles,
crying song of pain,
sure, I will come back strong,
But can't vanish without a note,
Goodnight PS,
At least for a fortnight.

you know, Jenish . . . I'm fascinated by this poem because while I really don't understand it on a conscious level, it hits me on a subconscious level -- and I do love it. regards -- your friend -- jon

There are of visits that absorb energy and a great part of daily wonderful routines.. those tiny blessings from God as they are but when we are deprived of them we do realize that they are huge and vital.. but the poet in you does persist and wages his battle and spills so beautiful a poetry! Wishing you a great time and a soon victory! A great pleasure to read your wonderful work, Jenish.. Best regards and blessings.
