A Gloomy Thursday Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Evening of a gloomy Thursday,
Humming an ancient melody;
Hypnos and Morpheus are dead now,
Selene no more loves Endymion,
No Lethe flows in the Abode of the Dead;
Still each mortal is in deep hypnosis.

Can you find me some crack?
In return I’ll give you,
All my dreams,
Which I lived during this long somnolence;
I’ll also confer,
All my raw hopes,
And all my wild felicities;
Then I’ll never see you again…
