Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all of my friends
A wonderful year has come to an end
I cant believe that it's finally here
And come tomorrow it will be a prime year

Dual definitions infused at it's best
Divisible by one and a challenge to test
Let us make this a year we wont forget
Filled with love, fun, laughter and sweat

May love find you all and make you happy
May fun fill your days and make you sleepy
May laughter surround you like leaves on a tree
May sweat fill your nights with passion so free

It's going to be one hell of a year
Kick off the shoes and knock over the chairs
Live your life like the Mayans are true
Make the best of what you have and dont be blue

So Happy New Year to one and all
Let us raise our drinks and have a ball
Goodnight 2010 it's been a blast
Good morning 2011 dont go by so fast.

Friends

Years go by and we all lose touch

With people and things that meant so much

But in everyone's life there are certain ones

We remember fondly and worthy to mention

We all have a past that we question at times

We all have passions that cost quite the dime

Remember the past and controlling the present

Will result in a future, we are no longer the peasant

Keep close with your friends for they are your rock

With your feet on the ground and the mind unlocked

We broaden our horizons by the people we meet

Shaping our lives and helping us keep life sweet

True friends will tell us the wrongs we have done

True friends will stand by us when our hearts are stunned

True friends will tell us to do right thing

True friends, I thank you for providing what you bring.

O'Brien's XVII

This is the last hurrah of the year

For all of us to celebrate with cheer

Let us drink and laugh and scream and yell

Let us party til the sound of the closing bell

What a year it surely has been

This is the 17th week that I have sinned

Going out every Thursday Night

To O'Brien's for friends to help my plight

With Freddy on the mic and Joe on the drums

With Jeff, Jackie and Zoran joining in on the fun

So many people have graced the stage

Yours truly has been let out of his cage

As we embark upon a new hopeful year

Let us continue to have fun with nothing to fear

So show some spunk and come on down

2010 is over so let's rock this town!

Thick Layers

Looking into your eyes I see the love

I see the woman that I have dreamed of

I see a future with you and I smile

I see a life filled with love that cannot be denied

Today I question how much stronger do I need to feel

How deep do I need to ache so I know this is real

My aching is deep already and I know that I care

Is what I feel already love?  Is my heart ready to bare?

Maybe it is and I need to understand my heart

Learning is a process and I think it needs a jumpstart

A slap in the face and the kick in the ass

Wake up you fool, before she decides that she'll pass

I think the answers are brimming to come quick

I hope she will wait for my brain to cut through the thick

Thick layers of rawhide weathered and worn

Beat by straps of cruelty, bandaged by thorns

She is the one with whom I want to play

To rest, sleep, breath, and laugh with every day

I hope she understands although the words don't leave my mouth

I'm close to being one with her , she completes what my soul is without.

O'Brien's XVI

Ho Ho Ho and a shot of rum
Give me a drink and let's have some fun
Tis the season to be merry
Sing a song and pop that cherry

Stage cherry of course, you know you want it
The thrill of open mic night is the right fit
Squeeze through the doors forcing myself through
Past all the lolligaggers and those drinking the brew

Come on ladies, the stage is your quintessential bed
Grab the microphone, and make love to it instead
Put it to your mouth and sing like you've never done before
Sensual as it may be, your voice is by all adored

It's going to be a crazy time with our thirst we fight
Chrismas Eve's Eve at OBrien's Thursday night
Hunger for music, and the rhythm of the drums
Pulsating beats that make us feel pleasantly numb

Written by Scott Morse #2

along the horizon the sun breaks the plain

as the moon settles down below sight

The darkness of night slowly subsides

As the glory of the day starts to rise.



Breaking through the the morning mist

The flower rise above the weeds

The song birds chirp and whistle away

Bringing to life another day.



All hope and dreams stirs again

As you enjoy the company of a friend

And if there was ever any doubt

Every new day is what life is all about.

The Only Choice

What does it feel like when you are all alone
When all you think about is her in your home
Why do you try to believe that you are the cure
Who are you to decide what is best for a heart thats hers

Loneliness is a mental state that we want to avoid
We want to fill the empty space that keeps us annoyed
We want to close the gaps that bridge the heart and brain
To make them one, living and breathing thoughts that are the same

Then you find the woman you know should be yours
A woman that can complete your soul and even the score
She will care for and treat you right through good times and bad
She will love you forever and let you know you are the only man

What kind of medicine will you provide to her
What kind of healing will reciprocate for sure
You want to be the only choice she has in her heart
You try to be the man to put together what has fallen apart.

Intertwining

Lives are shared

People are caring

Worlds are growing

Time has passed

Our lives quickly rendered helpless

By the events that come to fruition

We embrace our fragile lives

Looking to share the little that we have.

Open your heart and close your eyes

Hold on tight, they are within your grasp

This is the moment to realize the truth

Care for those that need to feel again.

Although we spin on this sphere of life

We dont take advantage of that which we see

For the first time our world is unlocked

Able to grow together, as the world stands still

Time cures all, time heals the wound

Watching the clock stitch the cuts so deep

When all is said, and when all is done

The passing of time will intertwine our lives.

O'Briens XV

Damn, it's cold but all is not lost
The day has arrived to show who's the boss
To get up on stage and strain your voice
To rile the crowd with the hometown boys

Freddy on the mic, Joe on the drums
Friends in the room and here it comes
Wailing on the stage making you scream
Cheering for those living their dream

It's Thursday night and to O'Brien's we go
Time to put on another amazing show
Don't be hesitant and dont be meek
This is the day that will make your week

Bring your thirst and bring your smile
Drink your drink and laugh for a while
Make new friends and strengthen old bonds
Cheers to you all for making this fun

Pain Is Inevitable

I don't try to cause people pain
I don't want to have that fame
I only want to live a life that's full
Following a heart with a strong pull

Sometimes it doesn't work out as planned
Sometimes we need to be a man and stand
I took a chance, failing, I tripped
I spread my wings and got them clipped

I don't regret what I have done
But I'm sorry for hurting anyone
Sometimes I err in the worst possible way
The experience will help to keep me at bay

Through all that I have been through
I have learned lessons that give me clues
How to deal with the inevitable disappointment
Of carrying the personae with which I was annointed

If you walk in my shoes you will see
The reasons why I have difficulty
I'm tempted to sin and sometimes I do
I don't always consider what may come unglued.

Tap On The Window

Driving down the road hours on end
Starting to wonder if I would find that friend
Filling the tank when the light goes on
Eating and sleeping chasing the dawn

Along the way hitchhikers thumb
Looking for a ride and looking numb
Blank stares and empty thoughts
Like deers in headlights they stare at naught

I pick 'em up and drop 'em off wishing them the best
Happy they are gone so I can resume my quest
Across the country and across my life
I drive to find a place where I can survive

To rest for a while I pull off and sleep
To rest my eyes and my thoughts so deep
As I sleep I hear a light defined tap
The knock on the window arouses my nap

I slowly open my eyes wondering what it could be
My blurred vision is startled by what I see
A beauty to behold through the passengers side
Tapping to awaken me, to take me for a ride

To live in search is to search in vain
Vanity keeps searching to heal the pain
When you least expect it the search will end
I have found what I was looking for, I found my friend.

Someday

A woman that I know
Amazes me so
Beauty and class
Love and sass

Eyes that penetrate
Beauty that suffocates
Skin so pure
She is my hearts cure

I hope she feels
What I know is real
When I touch her skin
I am in heaven

Her kiss is moist
She is my choice
I know that someday
She'll be mine to display

O'Brien XIV

Tomorrow is Thursday I must declare
Tomorrow is a day that we should share
To travel to O'Brien's on the Lynn line
Give Joe's Open Mic's talent a chance to shine

My friends will be there as I will too
Rockin the house and drinkin to you
Glasses up, bottoms up or whatever you wish
Just keep me awake Ill be there at 8ish

I'll be there before the crowd arrives
Priming myself for a good time
I dont need the drink to get me ready
Just a few good friends and laughter plenty

It's gonna be cold I promise you that
But cold is in the mind and outside on the deck
We'll keep you warm with big group hugs
Something you don't expect if your already drunk

The music is going to blow your mind
The talent is playing not costing us a dime
So support our friends and the talent that comes
Support their love of music and our love for fun

If you have never experienced a night like this
Good friends like this bring feelings of bliss
The music will start 9:30 at the latest
If you dont show your face you will be missed

Merry Christmas!!

So many poems have already been written
My talent may be lost like the Peter's mitten
But have no fear because I will prevail
And give you a Christmas poem for all to hail

The snowy nights of December glow under the moon
The chill of the winter air lets us know he'll be here soon
Laughing loudly whisking through the air
Snapping his fingers making sparks appear

Such a magical season for families to enjoy
Time spent with loved ones, children playing with toys
Eggnog made fresh with careful deliberation
In mine I'll give more rum careful consideration

My favorite part of Christmas is not the presents or the tree
It's the time spent with family telling jokes, sharing stories
Whether we are sitting around the kitchen table
Or sitting by the fire discussing Aesop's Fables

Playing charades or scrabble into the night
Drinking our drinks and losing our sight
When the day finally comes to a close
We are happy and ready for those fluffy pillows.

The Box

As I was walking down the street
I happened upon a box at my feet
I was curious as to what it could be
But was afraid to open it up and see

I nudged it with my foot and it didn't nudge back
A relief because a nudging box would be whack
I glanced around looking for the owner
But all I could see was hookers and stoners.

Don't ask me why this was who I saw
They have a purpose too, to piss off the law
But I say have a heart for they need to be loved
It's not every day that we witness this enough

So I picked up the box and held it tight
Trying what to decide to do that night
Do I take it home and open the cover
Do I give it to one of my lovers

The box was light but with a heavy aura
Suffocating my mind with thoughts of power
What if inside this box was something of worth
It could be something to help rule the earth

That must be it a mind controlling device
Now I have power, no need to be nice
I can tell my boss where to go
I can tell everyone I'm the person to know

Because inside this box there lives my fame
My fortune, my acceptance and I'll win this game
It was given to me to protect
Someone trusted me and gave me the respect

Now everyone will bow to the great power I have
Willingly giving me everything to avoid my wrath
It's nice to have such power within my clutch
I feel comforted that it will give me so much

Talents To Be Discovered.

Tell me your name and I'll kiss your hand
Ask for mine and I'll take a chance
Walk with me along the sandy shores
Dance with me, let me be yours

The look in your eyes drives me insane
The swing of your hips racks my brain
Your voice in my ear revs my gears
Your hands on my chest kills any fear

I think of nothing else day after day
Keeping you close and myself at bay
Holding you tight,wrapped in my arms
Sighing with pleasure safe from life's harms

I want to tell the world how much I care
I want to explain that I want to share
The feelings in my heart and the thoughts in my head
You presence is needed in my life and in bed.

I see how you stare and I feel your pain
I know you want me, this is no game
What do I need to do to prove what Im worth
How can I teach you what's in my church?

My mind is my church and my soul is my God
I want to convert you before your feelings are shod
Be with me and I'll treat you fine
Honesty, compassion and loyalty combined.

With the power of words I shall seduce your heart
With the fluidity of the pen I will create my art
The talents I have will melt your resistance
With just a simple kiss I'll create a new existence.
