ASHLEY'S GARDENS
( . o O DANCING ON THE WINGS OF FANTASY O o . )
your eyes called out to me
with sadness, with hope
I saw him holding you
I saw you pull away
is he just hanging on
becoming a burden?
if you asked me what to do
what would I say
Ashley... wonder is pouring from your eyes
why do you look at me with surprise
when I tell you the beauty I see
every time you look at me
Ashley... your lips are asking for a kiss
I hope it's a chance I won't miss
I'll want for the right time
when you can hear this rhyme
and we can take us into the sublime
your eyes lit up for me
with passion, and hope
when I whispered to you
I want to see you again
but what shall your boys do
if you move on to me
I don't want it to hurt you
so please count to ten
and take your time
make up your mind
in your private time... alone
let it be your independent decision
make sure you make it on your own
set aside any passions, fantasies, or fears
just look to your heart to be true for you
and find the truth inside as it appears
then you'll know what to do
what is best for you
right now and... in coming years
shall this be a moment we share for a moment
or shall we share commitment to future time
or shall we not share at all, whatever is best for you
that's what I want in our rhyme
Ashley, all the attraction may not be enough
rushing down love's road can make the ride rough
maybe we both want much more
but we must wait 'till we're sure
Ashley, eyes calling, lips asking to be kissed
you are so very hard to resist
but wait for the right time
when you hear this rhyme
and we can take us into the sublime
Ashley
