Magical Imperfection

Wind roams around bare footed Her loose grey hair weaving every minute A waning gibbous moon raising, at 11 in the East For the beings with Heart, it is indeed a feast. Incomplete, strained yet mesmerizing It's silver light enlights everything in perfect timings In pindrop silence, under an old tree, I sit Tiny shadows of leaves cover me like a porous blanket Half open buds dance beside me, surely not serene As if they too are under the MAGIC OF THE moon MOON'S MAGIC___ heard that in such magical nights Fearies, witches and jinns too decend to Earth from skylights And have kidnapped princesses as well in the past Ah' what if they land here and take me to "KOH E KAAF" OmG! I don't even know any prince charming who would fight for me, and rescue me while smiling Oh God what should I do.. ?? I am in problem under the dew Hang on!! ___I'm neither princess Zaibun Nissan nor Neelum Then why would they try to steal my freedom Relax! now I can look at the stained yet magical moon It's perfect moon light and leaves' shadows playing tunes Why on earth her silver light is having no stain, why so perfect When the moon herself is half almost Perhaps little Imperfection is a must Or you will be like a sun Perfect, mighty, complete, with golden rays Yet no body stare at him for hours... Bizarre? Beauty is Imperfection... And its yields are always beyond perfection Now I must go Before a witch or gennie say to me hello! ___________________ 09-18-2020 ~Paghunda Zahid P. S: KOH-E-LAAF (Koh e qaf) in eastern methodology is a mountainous region where jinns(gennies), witches and Fearies are supposed to live. Princess Neelum and princess Mehrun Nissa were two princess from different ages. They were as beautiful as Halen of Troy, and both were kidnapped by a powerful jin who caged them in a dark castle somewhere in the mountains of Kohe Kaf. They were later rescued by a prince.) (penned it in urdu last month, thought I should try in English as well... So here it is)

A waning gibbous moon was rising... It was right in the center of east. At 11:30, on dark sky a brownish moon was looking so magical that it made me write this piece.
