Unsettled bliss

Arpan Dey 2004 (West Bengal)

Wish it was difficult to keep my eyes open
Oh, the overwhelming desire to fall asleep
To fall into a deep, deep trance
And from life, take a very long leave.

Wild thoughts chasing around my head
Hairs turning white with time
A mind that is decaying with my body
I say so, yes, but I'm not fine.

A frown that remains as long as I'm awake
And I am never able to describe
That magical moment I just fall asleep
And enter someone else's life.
