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!

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)
