 When in deep sleep you seemed like an immaculate angel; breathing

heavily with incoherent sounds emanating from your semi open lips, 
While the instant you awakened; you pummeled your fists against the wall; 
clenched your teeth in indignation.
 
When in deep sleep you seemed to be profoundly oblivious to your surroundings; 
with your lids firmly agglutinated to your eyeball, 
While the instant you awakened; you cast a series of despicable looks; castigating me severely for the inconspicuous smudges aligning the furniture.
 
When in deep sleep you changed positions umpteenth times in a minute; with
your clothes strewn in a disheveled heap, 
While the instant you awakened you stringently made sure that I sat up straight without flinching the least; the attire that I wore was neatly creased and meticulously ironed.
 
When in deep sleep you mystically smiled; perhaps envisaging the fairies in the cosmos; with an enchanting glow encompassing your facial contours, 
While the instant you awakened you were crimson with anger; rebuked me for not
scrupulously washing my face.
 
When in deep sleep you inadvertently caressed my hair; fondling with my cheeks
as if admiring their pudgy softness, 
While the instant you awakened you were aghast at being late for office; slapped me hard for not braiding my hair.
 
When in deep sleep you unwittingly uttered all those things stored well within
your heart; vanquishing all apprehensions that engulfed your silhouette, 
While the instant you awakened you started manipulating the words to speak; 
refrained from giving me the tiniest of insinuation.
 
When in deep sleep you sometimes walked innocuously; languishing in the aisles
of romantic fantasy, 
While the instant you awakened you uncouthly barked orders for a cup of tea; 
splashed the same on the walls when it was not sizzling to the temperature you
desired.
 
When in deep sleep you wriggled inside the cozy delights of your quilt; blissfully exploring the moisture beneath the pillow you slept, 
While the instant you awakened you threw aside the covers in intense infuriation; frantically searching for your radiant watch and glistening chain.
 
When in deep sleep you unconsciously laughed; when I poked a thin blade of
grass in your ears; gave me a celestial smile, 
While the instant you awakened you barked a volley of abashing expletives; 
condemning me for not polishing your shoes.
 
When in deep sleep you were the perfect husband for whom I had heaps of adulation; while the instant you awakened I had lost all reverence for your persona, 
As I wished and prayed fervently to the almighty; to transform you like the way you were when in deep sleep.
