Cancerian (Moon Child) Poem by Tamika Stubblefield

I catch a glimpse
Of you
Through the trees
Your radiance-
Overwhelming
Tonight,
You are dressed in pale pink
As if you are blushing

Your fullness has caught my attention
I am intrigued by you
I search you out again
But my view is blocked
The train is moving so fast
My eyes want to linger upon your beauty
But you are lost behind shadows
My heart sinks
Knowing how seldom you appear to me this way
And suddenly- you step forward
As if you tasted my salty tears of abandonment
You tower above
I feel so small in your presence
As you give full view of your heavenly body
Nothing could bring me more pleasure
Than to touch you
Become one with you
But with the rise of the sun
You disappear- faintly
Like a ghost
