Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
One last hug
A see ya later

Never gets easier saying goodbye to family who is going back “home”

Miss you already...

Rough Time
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
To return to the same place where I said my last goodbyes
Brought up all these raw emotions inside
I am not weak but I am strong
Even though the tears will continue to fall
I’ll be ok
I will be fine
Right now, just having a rough time...

Magic of Love
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
The magic of love can be electrifying as if your veins are tiny sparks of igniting fireworks going off one by one with a single touch, look or kiss resuscitating your heart creating the magic of love...

Fills the Void
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Sometimes just a presence of someone and conversation
Makes your heart happy and fills the void that you miss daily

Rainbow
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Not every time
After a storm
Will a rainbow shine....
Even though you can’t see it
It may still be there
If you look closely
Through the clouds
Color will shine
Sending it’s rays
Down to the ground
If you get lucky
You may see double
Meaning magic will happen
Leaving you less troubled

Dance out of my Head
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Words dance out of my head
Onto the blank page
Where magic ends up happening
Creating a beautiful write
Capturing the essence of someone’s life

The Other Side
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Awaken from inside your dreams
Only to dream while your awake
Wishing I could just see your face
As I close my eyes, to my surprise
Your standing there with tears in your eyes
Whispering to me “all is alright”
We’ll meet again and make memories
“On The Other Side”

How You Awake
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
How you wake up and start your day
Will affect you in every single way
Be happy for your alive
Breathing and heart beating inside
You’ll never know what surprise you may find
When you awake with happiness on your mind...

Grief has no time limit
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
There is no time limit on grief
Grief has no time limit
No matter how you say
No matter what you believe
Close your eyes
Breath
And
See
They are  always with you
No matter how much time has passed
When the time is right
You’ll have a blast from the past
We all deal with grief differently
It will never get any easier
You just cry less tears
No matter how many days, months or years have gone by
Just always know
Their always right by your side...

Haunting Shadow

The doubt of your shadow will always haunt you
Following closely behind you at all times

Call Onto Me
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Call onto me
In your time of need
We’ll fall together gracefully
Down to our knees
Begin to pray
That all will turn out ok
I’m always here when you need me to be
Take my hand willingly
We’ll walk together patiently
Always and forever I will be here
To guide you through all of your fears
You are so loved my dear

Feeling Alive
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Deep breath in

Count to five
Releasing the stress
Feeling alive

Marriage. Love is Love
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Two loving hearts will
Combine as one
Tears will roll, laughter will be heard and we will have lots of fun
Today we will become husband and husband
Surrounded by our family and friends
I take this man to be my forever
As we grow old together
Always being young at heart
Celebrating at “home” in the Disney Parks
Here’s to the first day of the rest of our lives
I can’t wait to see where our journey takes us and having you right by my side

Congratulations Dustin and Devan!

11 Years
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
1+1 = 2
11 years on adventure with you
2 hearts that became one
Look at how far we have come
Together forever and always
You and me
Can’t wait to see
Where our next journey will be
Love always,
Me
October 17,2008 is when my now husband asked me to start dating officially. It’s been an amazing 11 years. Wanting to post yesterday but obviously couldn’t.

That Moment
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
The moment when you completely understand the world around you

Panic/ Anxiety
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Silent screams from within
The panic that starts to set in
Fearing the unknown
Adrenaline sky high
Freaking out as each minute passes by
Trying to breath and relax
But these symptoms are panic attacks
Like someone is choking you
Hands wrapped tight around your neck
Dripping and soaking wet
Wanting to crawl into a hole
Burying yourself like a tiny mole
It’s not in your head
It is real
But your in a constant battle of fear
Your not alone as so many suffer
Facing your own demise causing a  buffer
Reaching out asking for help
We are hear to listen in your time of doubt

Just waiting for you to snap again

Welcome Back
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Well hello
Welcome back
I hope things don’t get back off track
This is my outlet
To free words from my mind
I don’t want to see “bad gateway “
For a very long time
Hello Poetry once again
I thought I’d lost my best friend...

Lonely Star

For I look to the sky
See one lonely star
Knowing it’s you
Missing me too

RESPECT
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Indifference of opinions
Different beliefs or views
Means that I can’t be friends or associate with you

Do you believe in God?
Do you eat meat?
Do you smoke cigarettes?
Do you drink?
Do you like sports?
Do you watch TV?
Do you like dancing?
Wait, you can’t be friends with me...

We can all have our opinions , views and beliefs
Yet still can be friends and have common decency
Be kind is the phrase that’s going around
But some people are just beating it to the ground
It’s actually called RESPECT
Respecting others no matter what their views are or what they have done in the past
But be kind and respect, most of all, because we are all much better then that...

Munopco
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
For 14 years Munopco was my second home
I gave it my all, heart and soul
But it was time for me to move on
Yet the memories I will always cherish
Never forgetting the friendships I’ve made and the family that grew strong
Together
The theatre was my life for 14 years and I’m missing it a lot lately knowing that 5 years ago was my last show I did.

Emotional Rollercoaster
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
To be happy and sad at the same time
This emotional rollercoaster has no rhythm or rhyme

For Granted
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Some take for granted
The child or children that they have
Frustration level grow when they are bad
Crying at night, no sleep to be had
A demon inside the mom or dad
Rages with anger issues that no one knew they had
Taking for granted of the family they have (had)
Tossing their own flesh and blood simply because they were mad
Poisoning
Throwing
Beating
Neglect
They don’t give a ****
Yet they were blessed
Blessed to have a child at all or many children for that fact
But so many men and woman yearning for that
Those of us who can’t always ask “why?”
I am one of those who doesn’t understand why we can’t
So many children throughout the world
Hurting and dying, emotions are blurred
What about us, the ones who want it so bad
Guess we’ll never know that answer
This is the world we live in and the life we have...

Prism

Transparency of a broken heart may actually show a prism full of colors in different lights

Nothing/Everything
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Just because you grew up with nothing
Doesn’t mean your nothing

Just because you grew up with everything
Doesn’t mean your everything

Let that sink in for a moment...

A Memory
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
When you least expect it you come across
The memories with those in which we have lost
A picture
A video
A card
An old post
Floods our memories gates
Making our tears burst
Full of emotions
Realizing that so many have been lost
But we’ll always cherish them
Deep within our hearts
Oct 2019 · 98
First and Last Breath
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Our first breath
Is one breath closer
To our last one
What you do
In the middle
Of those breaths
Is completely up to
You
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Forgiveness is key
Take it from me
So we can move forward
Setting ourselves free

Grief has no time limit
The tears will subside eventually
But forever in our hearts
Is where their lasting impression will be

Forgiveness and grief
Go hand in hand
Two hardest emotions to withstand
Leaving us feeling emptiness
Over and over again

Look for the positive energy
Leading your heart to be fulfilled
Even in the darkest of times
Your hearts void will soon be sealed...

Paper Dolls 2

Like paper dolls we used to make
Over time they will disintegrate
Faded memories crumbling down
Something so lost, maybe never to be found

Winter is Knocking
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Sun is warm
Yet the air is cold
Summer feeling
Leaving my soul
Leaves turning colors
Getting ready to fall
Brace yourselves
Winter is knocking
But I don’t want to answer the call

Critical illness
Suffering and pain

Laughter, happiness and smiles

Cycle of Life
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
The earth is round
The sun is round
The moon is round
The stars have points
The clouds produce rain

We plant the seeds
The flowers and trees bloom
Cold and warmth overtakes our soul

The heart pumps blood
Running through our veins
The cycle of life
Still remains

Home is where...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Times have changed
We’ve grown up
Started our own journeys
Growing older
Having families
But now it’s time
To say goodbye
To our childhood home
Where we’ve made so many memories
Where we all have matured and grown
But the as the saying goes....
One thing always remains
“Home is where the heart is”
That will never change
My mom is moving and sold our childhood home. It’s bittersweet but also so very sad to know that we can’t ever go back to “home” but the house doesn’t define you, family defines you and supports you no matter where you go n

Withdrawal
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
I was going through withdrawal
Not being able to post at all
My mind was racing
Yet nowhere to release it
Let the flood gates open up
Like a slow drip IV
Medication of poetry
Is how I see
Fit

Broken Spiderwebs
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Crystal clear yet broken spiderwebs can still reveal your path in where your meant to go and what your meant to do...

Look closely and you will see
Deep within the cracked fragments
Which path that you may lead
Taking you on a different journey
Into the unknown of knowing exactly
Where your meant to be....

Lost in Space
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
I get lost in the stars
I see them in your eyes
The way you look at me
Like when the stars align
Cosmic rays
Sonic booms
Flutter my heart
As the moon fades away
The sun rises too
Embarking on a new adventure with you
Endlessly through a thunderstorm
That casts a rainbow
Showing me the *** of gold
I was searching for the most
Was the day I kissed you
First and foremost
