Though the Eyes of Words

I believe in love  I believe in love! To be! The centre of all things!  Love! Created me…and held me! Designed me…and shaped me! Confused me, and misled me! Enriched me…and established me!  Love, is more! Then me! A spirit, of soul, breathe! Within me!  Obviously written from the author’s heart and personal experiences, this book will touch your feelings because it may apply to any one of us.  We as humans need love, closeness and nurturing and it doesn’t matter that we may be the big brute footballer types, office mice or men who hide their feelings well…..guys, this book drains the swamp and lays everything bare.  Your soul will benefit from reading through it and taking Ashley’s journey.  If you feel a little drained after it, take heart – everything will get   better, and you will view the world and the fairer sex in a different light.

MY SHOES

Like a Hollywood scene! Like a red carpet stroll!
She was all I could…see! An image white hot! All too much, for me!

A slim carved masterpiece! Blonde, bleached length! All too neat!
A body that...SCREAMS! Legs knew! Just…what to do!
Silk black lace...Just a lure!
As it barely covered…what, most were...viewing!
Milk layered skin...Eye’s on fire! Her, smile...WILD!
And she wore a style of shoe! That outweighed! All the view!
Like the precious stone elevated, upon her delicate…hand!
I could clearly see! What all, could see!
A love for shoes! That overshadowed…me!
Then I heard these words! Like a well rehearsed scene!
I wish…I could love a man! As much, as…I love!
My shoes!
