What a Night

Yesterday night I saw Moon! yesterday night the moon was gazing at me through a little section of my window. the white lacy curtain was drawn to one side. she was dazzling! the sky was pitch-dark, not a star visible! and at the centre moon shone at its brightest! it was directly looking at me, smiling, like an enchanting, ravishing woman, on her way to win someone's heart! I couldn't sleep, I was mesmerized! her beauty kept me awake for an infinite  time. I didn't have glasses on me, she was perfect, radiant, exuberant, sometimes her beams were scattered to my glassless eyes, sometimes she was my sweetheart, two of them blended into each other. sometimes I perceived the light as broken into thousand pieces of dazzling mirror, sharp and brilliant, sometimes she was a magical face, of an indescribable Princess, from ancient times. it was a very special night-sky, moon and my sweetheart kept me awake, by smiling their prettiest smiles, although both of them are far far away, I couldn't go back to sleep, until the serene touch of a tranquil breeze, and mellifluous chirping of birds, dawned on my eyelids.
