About Me

...i'll just let it go and be... â†’me. â†’ Hello, good people from the stretches of MySpace. My name is MICHAEL ASHTON. I'm pretty simple and thoroughly blessed. I love real music, good food, and honest and genuine people. The essential details about who I am are documented in my poems, in my notebooks. â†’Often times, I am a flower looking upward toward the skyline for sunlight and rain to keep me nourished and sustained encouraged. ever-growing... â†’ It began with : one hand reaching for another and one breath giving life to another sinking into ethereal bliss and then sealed with a kiss. â†’For moments and minutes, hours and days : I've depressed and contemplated over things - over you. Another night is falling and I'm still exhausting these tired questions that I carried with me while you were away. The biggest of them all was figuring out and trying to understand : why were we witholding from each other? â†’
