Fighting Demons
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Fighting demons inside
Pushing away the angel on my side
Filling the void of “I don’t know why”
Slowly losing the battle of my life
Wrote this for a coworker dealing with drug addiction. For as much as I say “I don’t care anymore” I am human and have a heart. I hope nothing happens to him and he gets help but I’m done fighting his battles as well.

Frost
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Tiny little particles fall from the sky
Collecting on our windows like freezing time
Small or big covering the space
Creating a beautiful masterpiece of grace

First Hello at Dance
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Reminiscing about our past
The makeup, the dances, the friendships that last
Even though we’re grown, and may have drifted apart
The structure of dance always will remain in our hearts
Looking back from what we had learned years ago
Just think, it all started with the first “Hello”
From that moment on, we were all connected from the start
Our three angels in Heaven are to thank for this, and we will continue to carry them in all of our hearts
Dance friends remain friends no matter how much time has passed
Reminiscing and turning back time is a great memory at last...
Miss Jeanne’s School of Dance Arts is where all of our friendships began to start...

No Space Between
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Come in close
Hold me tight
Leaving no space between us
Having no end in sight
As for when the stars shine bright
The sun will rise again
We have each others hearts
Always in our hands
When we feel down
Like when the sun sets at night
We’ll hold one another
With all of our might
Feeling safe with you
In all that we do
You love me
Always and forever

SECRETS
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
We all have our
SECRETS
It is only then if we remove our mask
Showing the world what we’ve been hiding
But always ready to replace the mask with another one
Never really revealing
A

Of our secrets
ALWAYS KEEPING YOU GUESSING....

Hourglass
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
It’s been said that
“Good things comes to those who wait”
But how much longer will it be since I feel like my sand through the hourglass is fading to nothing...
It’s been almost 10 years and time is running out for us to start a family... just a hard pill to swallow when it something you’ve e always dreamed of having in your life.
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
A little birdie just told me
“ Don’t
look
for
something,
just
wait
and
see”
There is a plan out there for you and me
Just
Wait
Patiently
It may not be entirely what you have dreamed
But may the cards

exactly where they are meant to be
It takes time to accept things that are not present but you never know what the future holds...

Just always believe...

Write it Down
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Of course I had something in my head
But would I write it down before it left
Now I can’t remember what it was
Maybe it’ll come back if it was important enough

Freezing Rain
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
The day turns to night
All is quite and still
As the sound of freezing rain
Hits the snow that once fell
Home safe sound from work early. 4 plus inches of snow fell and now it’s freezing rain/sleeting. So happy to be home safe.
Standing on my patio I wrote this poem...

Finding Hope
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
There is always hope
You just have to believe
Someone’s heart has a spot open for you
Just you wait and see
It will happen when you least expect it
Don’t look for it, don’t quit
Love is in the air just for you
To create a family for your little girl too...
Wrote this for my friend who is still looking for love after her divorce.

Lost But Not Found
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
I’m crying for help
But without making a sound
Am I’m really crying for help
If my mouth is shut and hands are bound
Someone please find me now
Otherwise I’ll be left in a box called
“Lost but not found”

Mother Nature
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
The sun is shining
Yet the clouds are dark
Snow is falling
Yet it doesn’t feel that cold
Wind is howling
Yet everything seems silenced
Mother Nature at her finest

Good and Bad
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Why is it that
Bad things happen to good people
And
Good things can’t happen for certain people?

Just a thought for today...
Just have a lot on my mind of bad things happening to good people and good things not happening for some...
Good people get sick, die, lose everything etc
People wanting things like a family, getting pregnant, living a good life... never happen?
Just a thought...

Deep Waters Sleep
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Twisting words
Full of color
Freeing thy imagination
Like no other
Time goes by
Slowly turning
Rewind the hands
Back to oblivion
Destroying all odds
To set sail once again

Dancing through waters
Catching waves
Leaping through life
Only then to be saved

Walking on water
As though your a ghost
Blending in to the oblivion
Twisting with the oceans current

Fading back
Falling slowly
Timeless travels
When I close my eyes...

Fit the Mold
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Trying to fit the mold
                  Of someone else’s expectations
Yet, only finding your true identity in the process of which you thought you lost...

Poetry
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
The language of poetry
       Is how the ink dries....
We speak to one another through what we fill up the blank pages with or even add onto pages that are completely filled up. Poetry in motion is how the language speaks to us or touches us in many different ways or how we indifferently interpret what has been dried up through our words.

Happy Ending
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Your happy ending
May be different from mine
But my happy ending
Came at the right time

I found you
You found me
Together we live happily

Just the two of us
You and me
The pair of us
Following our dreams

Happy ending
Is different for all
But who woulda thought
You were the one to catch me when I fall

We may not have a family
But together
I have you
You have me

The best happy ending
I could have never for seen....

Dormant
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Dormant
Or

Is the scariest part
You never know when she’ll wake up
Expecting the eruption to start
Days
Months
Or even
Years
A dormant slumber may be near

Prayers for Louie
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
A little boy is in distress
Asking for prayers for him to be blessed
Healing thoughts and love for him
Speedy recovery from being sick
May God watch over little Louie
Hearing our prayers loud and clear
From the bottom of our hearts truly
We love you, little Louie...
My friends son is in distress and not doing well. He is only 5 months old. Please send prayers and love for this little one!
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
I wear a mask to hide my emotions
Then I fill up the blank page with tears that dry to invisible ink
Keeping my feelings hidden or to someone with specials powers to uncover what I’m truly emoting like unscrambling a secret code to the real self that’s been hiding behind the mask...
Jan 2020 · 48
Dark Eyes
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
You can always see the lies
Through how dark their eyes
Erupting like a volcano
Ready to explode
With crocodile tears
Seeking pity
Cries

Two Dimes
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
I carry two dimes in my coat pocket all the time
I’m not really sure why?
One I found last year
The other a couple months ago
They say pennies from Heaven all the time
But I think my dad was sending me dimes
He always had to be different
My dad was funny that way
Every time I reach on my pocket
It puts a smile on my face...

Perfect Strangers
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
A gift from a friend who I don’t really know
Sent along two sand bottles, that she made, and this here quote...
“ Reality has limits, imagination is boundless”
Comes from the heart, with love, this I stress...
I will cherish these sand bottles forever and always
From a “perfect stranger” who we’ve connected through poetry and life
Thank you Star for your handmade gifts you sent to me
I’m thankful that our paths have crossed and that we can inspire one another
Our limits are endless, just you wait and see...
Thank you StarBG!!!!

One in a Million
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Your one in a million
Just like me
We are both special as can be
Robby, a sweet little boy, don’t worry about a thing
Your going to grow up strong and conquer the world just like me

One in a million
We both are
Unique and special are we

You will grow up
With an invisible cape
Giving you an incredible trait
Allowing you to be just great

Your future is bright
Robby, your out of sight
Sweet little one
Always remember you are loved
Your dreams will come true
Take it from me, I’m here for you!
My brothers friend gave birth to a baby boy and he has a tracheotomy in just like I did when I was born. I wrote this poem for her and her little one since I was there when I was younger. I hope this portrays the positivity of be “ different” is amazing and you can conquer life. If you want to know more about my story look up my poem called “ I’m a Survivor “

Be The Way
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Be the light
In someone’s dark path

Be the smile
That someone hasn’t seen

Be the support
For someone who doesn’t have it

Be the shoulder
For someone to cry on

Be the love
For someone who isn’t loved

Be the voice
For someone who can’t be heard

Be the friend
For someone who doesn’t have one

Be the strength
For someone who is scared

Be the way
For someone who is lost

Be the fight
When someone feels weak

Be the magic
When someone doesn’t believe

Be their friend, support, love....
                         The possibilities are endless

Delete Troubles

To delete the troubles from my past will not help me heal or grow until I accept them and move forward with my life allowing me to become a version of myself....

Grieving Loss
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
The loss of you
Still doesn’t feel true
Yet here I am missing you


Missing you
comes in waves
Just like the unexpected
mid summer rain

Grieving is hard
Loss is tough
No matter how much time
Unexpectedly, now you shine

Gaining your wings
Sadness it brings  
Your pain is free
But missing you who I can’t see

Loss is hard
Knowing or unexpected
Hurts both the same
I will miss you and I love you
Everyday

Take all the time you need
Grieving the loss of me
But always remember
I’m never to far away
I’m always there in your heart
Forever to stay...

Being Rich
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Being rich doesn’t mean you have a lot of money

In essence, everyone is rich in their own way...

Fog Filled...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Fog filled skyline
Trees hidden in the dark
Birds flying into the the vortex
Emerging then disappearing
Where did they go?
No shadowing casting will there be
Fog filled skyline
Is all you can barely see

Devastating
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
A heroic act with no hesitation
You jumped right in during this devastation
This mornig my sister called in a fire at a house across from her work... she ran over and helped everyone get out as they were screaming, and jumping out of the windows.
To think it was 8 years ago that our family house went up in flames but my sister didn’t hesitate to help.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Papa Bear!

Leap of Faith
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Maybe there’s something
Possibly something
On the horizon
Where the sun meets the land
Rising above
Giving light
Showing you the upper hand
Don’t look directly in front of you
Look further then you think
A cascade of dreams are there
Just take the leap and blink
Before you know it
Everything will fall into place
A new journey awaits you
Take the leap of faith....
Jan 2020 · 46
The Gift
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Ever so changing
Over the years
Building from the brand
Even through the tears

Never forgetting
The roots that made you grow
The history of the gift
Is more then you actually know

Grains of Sand
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Just like the tiny grains of sand...
...I carry a little piece of each of you in my heart, always...
I have a sand bottle collection that friends and family have given to me over the past two years. Some are bought, some are made from actual sand off of beaches around the world. I love my collection and I carry a piece of everyone with me always in my heart.
Wish I could share pictures of my collection so I could share my love of my sand bottles with you.
This poem was inspired by my sand bottle collection.
I have 31 sand bottles.

Happy New Year!!!!!
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Today is the last day to finish writing your chapter for this year
As midnight approaches we leave behind our
Past
And our
Fears
Charging into the New Year at full blast
Here’s to the next chapter full of blank pages ready to be filled with a new journey at last
Let’s end this time with laughter and cheer
Here’s to 2020
Happy New Year!

Better Left Unsaid
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Some things are better left unsaid
Some times it’s better off in my head
To think out loud but silently so you can heal
Doesn’t really matter in the end but just the way you have to deal
Sometimes...
