The crescent moon is sickle sharp
Like the distance keeping us apart
Then she grows, still we’re seeing her from distant shores
Separated from the one we adoreThe warm, golden half-moon
Makes us long for passionate afternoons
Then she fills, lockdown alarm shrills
While we freeze as loneliness chillsThe full moon, glistening on frost

Reminding of all that’s lost
Then she fades, taking light and hope away
Spring, a made up, unreachable someday

This is sad, but I really like it! The opening description of the crescent moon being “sickle-sharp” is apt considering the pain of separation, but it’s also an unexpected and creative comparison. Nice rhyme, too. .
