Sleep Or Wakefulness Poem by Varghese J Kuttikat

However intoxicating the dream, real beautiful
Don't let me lapse into sleep eternal
It is dreams, though, maybe, a bit unbeautiful
And sometimes mingled with bitter sobs doleful
That I would love to indulge in, fully awake, mindful
Though night might be lovely and even lovelier
Than day blest with sunny daring masterful
I'm not yet sure of my preference personal
Is it caprice that tempts me towards starry night easeful
Or is it the good sense that persists continual?
A whisper is in the air: oblivion is blissful
