Off The Cuff - Chuck's Poems
CellarDweller:
Adrift
Being adrift
Sounds so peaceful
But how can something so peaceful
Bring such stress
And uneasiness
What I was once so sure of
Has abandoned me
Leaving me adrift
Without direction
And no oars
A friend once told me
Those who wander are not lost
So why do I feel lost
On a sea of uncertainty
While others sail on
Adrift and alone
Once again
I should be used to this
So why do I feel
So confused and lost
One thing is certain
I won’t go on this way
So please excuse me
I must turn my attention
To finding the oars

Untitled
-----------------------------
your life can be more
outrageous, you see
unique and exciting
abstract and complete
ready for it
expect it to improve
no more hiding so come
out and get into the groove
told that, yes we were
and so we believed
life would get better
once we no longer deceived
now here we are
everything has not changed
freedom still restricted
reaching out, and
in vain
every day a new challenge
not so easy, it seems
don't give up, keep moving
step up, reach for your dreams
CellarDweller:
I wish I could express to you
with words just how I feel
but the words, they seem to fail me
they can't describe what's real
2006 is about to end
and though I should feel tall
the new year makes me anxious
and I find I'm feeling small
There is one thing I'm sure of
it's that I have a big heart
and all of you are in it
you each take up a part
You've made me laugh and smile
you've held me when I cried
caused me to think about so much
you made me feel alive
2007 will bring good things for us
of that, a part of me is sure
but a part of me is still afraid
to walk through the open door
My head keeps me in the clouds
my feet are on the sand
but I'm uneasy on the inside
will you hold my hand
CellarDweller:
Brotherhood
------------------------------------------
take those in life, and hold them close
or one day you may have regrets
my oh my how time flies by
you should make sure you don't forget
bonds that were formed between each other
may sometimes not feel so strong
but brotherhood is always there though no
real blood makes you belong
on through life in forward motion
sharing thoughts and fears with me
you feel afraid, then turn and look
over your shoulder, and there I'll be
understand that life's not simple
real life can beat us down
extend your hands out to the others
they'll help turn you around
here's to friendship and brotherhood
each person raise a glass
because it's time to toast to us
every single lad and lass
so put your arms around me tight, hold me close to your heart
treasure each and every moment, so we'll never be apart

The day after Christmas, 2005
had just seen a movie, made my mind come alive
two cowboys in love, but could not make it work
gave my mindset a shove, gave my life a strong jerk
could not just go on, letting things be
time to make changes, and start them with me
grow up, shed my skin, leave the past behind
get myself healthy, in body and mind
heal my heart, and mend my soul
trust myself to take chances, and let myself grow
open my mind, so my muse can inspire
let my talent run free, like it was wild fire
start to travel around, new people to see
open myself up, and let them touch me
cry on their shoulders, funny stories to share
I hope they all realize, just how much I care
accept what fate gives me, dealt out from above
celebrate life, take risks to find love
the future is mine, in the palm of my hand
so it's time to go grab it, and I know that I can
so now I move forward, there's no turning back
and it's due to the story of Ennis and Jack
