Innocence

Clear night, beckons youthful lovers 
To a meadow lush and silky green
Amorous wafts twirling beneath the stars
That shimmer, above this glamorous seen.

Whiffs,
Refreshing and scented 
Heavenly lilies…

Angels dancing to a beautiful sight
Gossip and laughter sparks of light
The moon then said
Before she fled
These are secrets of the night.

Sighs 
Of love
Merging with silence
Harmony compelling them to be 
One, in the arms of each other’s company
Not two, not separate, angelic forms, sweet love making…

The mist soon glides stealthily 
As though a blanket covering a holy act 
Aroma of perfume mixed with bodily perspiration 
Fills the air with redolence of innocence
What a delight!
But the night is almost over
First light in sight!

The poem is very nice, but it is not qasida. As a rule, qasida is longer than ghazal, but it follows the same system of rhymes (AA-BA-CA-DA...). Check the definition and examples.
