AFTER THE FOOTLIGHTS START TO FADE - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

AFTER THE FOOTLIGHTS START TO FADE  
...When the mask comes on, the persona is strong. At the end of the night, Noxzema reveals the girl of years gone by. Wipe off the grime of the leeches that affix to the mask and I'm left as me - Simply Norma Jean.....
...Not angel, I am far from that. Yet, I am not this creation of the studios and the photogs craning their necks to get that perfect shot. 
....Playing the dumb blond is my bread and butter. But, give me the chance and I'll prove I can make a main course out of a juicy character. You see, I ain't so dumb after all.....
...Footlights fade....but the myth forever lingers on like a wisp of Chanel upon the wrist....

FIRE IN THE DARK - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

Fire In The Dark
Wooden heart burns in flames of dejectionTears stain the walls of all forms of rejectionTwo lovers grapple in the darkness of WinterReleasing the sorrow of longing in the SpringDarkness was never our destination But, yet here we are once more...

VANISH - A QUOTE BY A.H. SCOTT

"When we attempt to be somebody we are not, those pieces of what makes us all so unique begins to fade away. You won't be the jock or cheerleader getting the glory. You won't be hearing the applause from the cheering crowd. But, you will be the person adored by the heavens for just being you. And, that will never vanish". - A.H. Scott 12/19/12

MORPH - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

 Morph 

Grasping at straws
Trying to ignore the flaws
Best foot forward we all try
Yet, rhythm is a thing which can pass you by
Could I be another?
Younger, older
Stronger, wiser
Thinner, prettier
The answer is like a shadow on the wall
Being the certain him or her would be so swell
Morphing mannerisms we hope would shade ourselves from defeat
Stay one step ahead
Quease of lingering dread
The mirror don't lie
Even as hard as a person may attempt to be sly
You've gotta live with the person that is a singular soul
There is only one like you
Even in those heady moments you wish to be like somebody else
There is no I in Him or Her
Morph into the treasure trove of your own heart

BUCKLED - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

B u c k l e d

Why wait? Tomorrow may be too lateMy knees buckle when he walks into the roomYet, every other woman has his attention, but meWhy wait? 


Oh, I know I'm a fool to hesitateBut, if I put myself forward into his eye's view.....the mystery will vanish 


Buckle my nerves with knees knocking and Kleenex grasped between fingersLike a girl with a crush of decades past....I wonder will I ever be good enough to pass?Not the test of time is what I imagine to not pass with flying colors in his eyesYet, failing to be the woman he would be proud of having on his arm as he enters a roomWhy wait? 


My lips are muteAs is the answer I could speak to myselfWhy wait is not the question I should hear inside my head?Rather, it should be: Are you willing to take a chance? You'll never know if you don't speak upBuck upWalk up to that man who has bewitched you and say one word - HELLO...

SUN RISE ON SUCCESS - A.H. SCOTT

"Sun RISE on success. Sun SET on self doubt. When you can see yourself as being worthy of accepting opportunities around you, the world starts to see you in a different light. Crumbs of shattered esteem just rolls right off your back, as the glimmer of possibility beams brightly before your eyes. The sunshine is all around you, if you just let the rays of warmth melt away the icicles of remorse and rejection. Success isn't about possessions. Success is the sparkle in your eye." - A.H. Scott 12/13/11

READY! AIM! INSPIRE! - A.H. SCOTT

"Bite your lip. Bite your tongue. When we expect perfection, it will never come. Bite the bullet and realize YOU are in the moment. Your hand holds the starting gun. Bang-Bang!! Rust is the crust of life's experience. Without a little grime on an unblemished canvas, all the portraits would be blank eyes staring out from mediocrity. READY! AIM! INSPIRE!!" - A.H. Scott 12/13/12

EMBRACE THE DARK - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

Embrace The Dark



Embrace the dark Embrace the spark Embrace that first gaze that set us off on this lark Embrace our age, which allows us this elevated stageEmbrace the fact it sets us above the frayEmbrace aroused egos and let us playEmbrace strands around your nimble fingersEmbrace the grip a bit tighter, as I wink back at ya'Embrace you with a tug from soft hands pulling longEmbrace my torso with your hands so strongEmbrace my untamed charms all night long Embrace switches place, as I run fingers against floorEmbrace the fact that I want more, more, more Embrace your passion, I know I can never be harnessedEmbrace this reality which I see with eyes wide openEmbrace what this moment bringsEmbrace a vision of me that you might not have guessedEmbrace that I know you better than you thinkEmbrace bodies together in delight and dark Embrace desire which fulfills two lonely heartsEmbrace eruption about to scatter life upon meEmbrace all I have to giveEmbrace my eyes as I cautiously stareEmbrace I regret nothing in what we shareEmbrace knowing I'm the one woman who dared....

EMBRACE THE LIGHT - A POEM BY A.H. SCOTT

Embrace The Light
Embrace the lightEmbrace the night Embrace the flirtation we had at first sight Embrace the moment we knew it was rightEmbrace the air that wraps around here and thereEmbrace forever in a kiss at dawnEmbrace the future in every morn Embrace chances that don't just come like the windEmbrace the hope for something beautiful to begin Embrace it before snow drifts awayEmbrace me in knowing I won't just fade away Embrace the sunIt's waiting for ya'
