Off The Cuff - Chuck's Poems
CellarDweller:
Thank you!
------------------------------------
Sometimes it feels like there is more I should say
but I shut my mouth, and keep the words at bay
do you even know, you gave my heart a touch
you're such a great person, and you've done so much
you've lifted my spirits, and made me feel strong
that things will be right, after they have gone wrong
the talks that we've had, and the feelings you've shown
have made me feel like, I'm not quiet all alone
you give me support, and hand out kind words
I want you to know, that your advice has been heard
the laughs and the jokes, we share through the day
and it always seems like, there's much more to say
I feel I can trust you, with any information
As we push each other on, to our lives' destination
On this journey we're on, if the seas should get rough
It's cool to know you'll be there, to help me be tough
and so we move forward, we're doing just fine
and I can't wait to see you, as we cross the finish line
CellarDweller:
Candlelight
------------------------------------------
I strike the match, use candlelight
now I know, it will be tonight
I see you there, I'll take this chance
as I watch, our shadows dance.
I'll take the steps, the waters I'll test
I place my hands, upon your chest
I let my fingers move along
the radio plays song after song
I look to your eyes, there's excitement there
I can feel the energy in the air
you grab me hard, playing tough
my skin gets scratched by your facial "scruff"
I hear your heart beat from within
I love the feel of your skin on my skin
your breath comes fast, your kisses sweet
the room is hot from our body heat
Your arms around me, feel so strong
I feel this is where I belong
there is no place I'd rather be
I let myself go, and give you me
On my body, your lips, your teeth, your hand
tonight is going just as we planned
Your passion, your heat, makes me feel new
I'm glad I gave my all to you.
CellarDweller:
Body Betrayal.
----------------------------------------
We've heard all the sayings
you should treat your body
like it's a temple
If you are good to it
it will be good to you
I treated my body like trash
and didn't care about it
and finally realized one day
that I needed to fix this
when I ran out of energy dancing
at the wedding of some friends
The next day, changes started
Heathy food in, and energy out
being rewarded with losses
shrinking weight and waist
and suddenly to my surprise
energy that I never had before
So imagine my surprise
when I woke up to find out
I had been betrayed by my body
even though I'm doing as I should
and I have yet
to reach the goals that I've set
feeling like a bowl of cereal
as my body "snaps" "crackles" and "pops"
and walking around with doubt
as my knee feels better now
but I know it's a bomb
ready to blow at any time
Keeping myself stocked with pain killers
just in case
and a knee brace in my bedroom
and in my workout bag
so I always have one, if needed
I don't want to be caught by surprise
I started this lifestyle change
because I wanted to dance
and with each step I take
I hear my knee crack and I wonder
If I'll be able to dance
when my own wedding day comes.
CellarDweller:
Going gets rough, sometimes that's true
Lasts as long as you want it to
Always open hearted is how you should be
Don't close heart or mind, please let yourself see
You have something special, somehthing others wish for
Outside looking in, those people are poor
Useless is the anger, that can rip you apart
Work to maintain a space in each other's heart
Overcame the difference, after a talk
Relaxed once again, as friends you will walk
Keep the bonds intact, it's worth the fight
Excellant that you made what was wrong, right
Doubted each other, perhaps for a while
I knew you'd fix it, grudges aren't your style
Together as friends, the bond, it will grow
Others wil see, your friendship does show
Undone, this friendship will not become
Try to spread it around, give everyone some
Fantasticly handled by you two men
Rather than acting like spoiled children
I am feeling happy that this you achieved
Ended it, and a deep sigh I heaved
No more estrangement, it came to an end
Destroying a friendship, I can't comprehend
So hold on to what you have, a trustworthy friend
CellarDweller:
Although I know I can’t see you
You’re watching everything I do
Always here throughout the day
Listening to what I say
Around the corner do you lurk?
While I’m in my cubicle at work
Making sure your cover’s not blown
Trying not to make your presence known
You just tried to sneak on by
Caught you out of the corner of my eye
You may annoy others when you weave and bob
I know you’re just doing your job
Keep me safe, like hand in glove
My guardian angel, from above
