2 Years And Counting

1 day and counting
2 days gone by
3 days trying
4 days, oh my
5 days working
6 days no play
7 marks a week
And we mark our 8th day

1 week and counting
2 weeks I write
3 weeks, oh joy
4 weeks no fight

1 month finished
2 months done
3 months striving
4 months no fun
5 months pleading
6 months I dream
7 months hoping
8 months I scream
9 months I whisper
10 months I shout
11 months I question
12 and I must take 1 foot out

1 whole year of thoughts
Of word upon word
So can you really blame me
For wondering if I'm heard?
Because this day marks
A whole two years
Of hopes and dreams
Worries and fears
Of fiction and truth
And some things in between
Of laughter and tears
And figuring out what I mean

2 years and counting
Will you stay and count with me?
For 3, 4, 5, 6 . . .
Until the end of my eternity

Frozen Heart

Shivering in the cold
I tell a tale of old
Of a knight so very bold
And a heart he so foolishly sold

To see a lady fair
He traveled here and there
But the villain does not care
For love does not share

The icy breeze
Thus did freeze
And lost the keys
The knight paid the fees

Cold nose running
Villain so cunning
People thus shunning
Fair lady gunning

A spin and a twirl
The world thus unfurl
Lady toss a curl
The villain is the girl

The knight sold his heart
With his love he did thus part
For the villain has a cart
Of love stained with poison dart

My hands are a shaking
This cold, moral breaking
Her laugh, ground quaking
Hearts she is thus taking

Too cold to stay
The knight did away
But first he did thus pay
And how his heart did fray

I pull a scarf up over my nose
The knight's heart the lady froze
On display it now shows
That man who doth come to lady, without heart he goes
