Falling Petals
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
What if instead of snow
We had falling flowers
Showering our world
With love and growth
Colorful falling petals
Piling up,all around
Smelling the sweet aroma
Falling from the sky
Making its way to the ground
Think how beautiful life would be
Sweet smelling, making amazing scenery
One petal at a time
Sweetly filling our world, with love and piece of mind
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Do you wanna build a fire
Come on and let’s get warm
My hands are cold
My feet are cold
And I’m frozen to the core
Come on let’s huddle closer
Warm me up
Please can you tell me why?
Why is it so cold
It shouldn’t be this cold
Go away winter
Florida here we come

Merry go Round
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Round and round we go on a merry go round
Hiding within the shadow of the sun
Spinning out of control, spinning into the light
1,2,3 feeling so free
Hair blowing with the wind
The warmth of sunlight on my skin
In and out of the shade I go
Spinning faster and faster
Hold on tight, don’t ever let go

Dip in my Blood
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Dip in my blood
Kiss me on the lips
But be cautious
I like to bite
Sharing my venom
Now your mine
Don’t you wish
You could rewind
The time
From when you kissed me
When I took a bite
On your lips
Giving you my blood
Encasing you inside of me
Like a cocoon for a butterfly
Warm and relaxed
Don’t turn your back
You’ll never see it coming
When I’m ready to attack
Again

Shockwaves
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Words flow through my veins
Sending shockwaves to my brain
Unscrambling the phrases
To make sense of them
From beginning to the end
Making magic, releasing new work
Like a baby being delivered by a stork
Unexpected and imagery at its finest
Real, raw and on the spot
Like a diamond in the rough
Cleaning it up, making it the shiniest

To Quick to Judge
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Why are we all so quick to jump on the critique bandwagon
Think of all the blood, sweat and tears that went into putting, said thing, together
Why disrespect and put shame on them, especially through social media
You have to hide behind the screen of your computer or phone to try and make a statement
Yet you look like a fool and a bully
Don’t be so inclined to follow the pack and jump aboard
For then, you yourself, will be a leader, even if you do give constructive criticism, aloud
But showing respect at the same time and understanding the trials and tribulations that go along with it in the end....
Start your own bandwagon and measure it in LOVE
Wrote this because of the television show Rent that was aired last night. A lot of hate going around because not all was live bc one of the leads broke his foot during final dress rehearsal. Be understanding and respectful for they put a lot of hard work into performing this for us. Also, for this show to even be aired on national television, with the storyline that it has, it amazing!
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
The beginnings end
The ends beginning
Somewhere in the middle
It’s got me singing
Storylines flowing
From the depths of my heart
Don’t read it backwards
Just begin from the start
I’ll keep you hanging
From start to finish
Keep your mind running
On this treadmill that runs
Constantly through my mind

Fingertips Touch
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
I reach my hand out for you
Fingertips touch then slip away
Like a melting popsicle in your hand
Once it’s gone, it’ll never be the same again

Comatosed like a Pill
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
A sudden pause
You remain still
In hopes you won’t be seen
Comatosed like swallowing a pill
Don’t blink, don’t breath to much
Drifting away, staying frozen and such
If you don’t move, you won’t be noticed
You’ll be hidden in plain sight
Remaining in your own self bliss

Go round the Clock
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Tick tock
Tick tock
Watch the hands
Go round the clock
Minutes fade
Hours pass by
Don’t take a moment for granted
For if yo do
Time will just pass and fly
You’ll never know why
Seconds
Minutes
Hours
Of you life, you can’t get back
Unless you stop the time

Thoughts in a Letter
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Writing my thoughts in a letter
Even though it was hard
I do feel somewhat better
Unable to verbalize what I needed to say
Writing it down, takes the pain away
Whatever the outcome in the end will be
I’m happy I found you and you found me
I will always love you unconditionally
Let’s take this one step at a time and see where life takes us
But I want you to continue this crazy adventure with me
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019

Regret
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Don’t have regret because you did something
You would only have regret if you didn’t take the opportunity to do so
Never knowing if it was the right choice or not
Be happy you tried, no regret because you didn’t try

Overdose Needle
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
A needle is a form a healing
I feel complete
When I ***** myself
I bleed out the heat
The hurt
The pain
The anger
I can’t be beat
But when my lifeless body lays upon the cold floor
My brain keeps telling me “I want more”
The more I take
The more I feel no pain
It’s just very hard to explain
I’m falling down a dark hole
To the land of oblivion
**** there goes my soul
I took to much, now I’m gone
What did I do, what went wrong?
I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused those around me
But no burden am I to anyone anymore
With the needle hanging out of my arm
I am now dead, so no hurt for me, it’s time to soar

Start/Finish Line
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
When I stand at the starting line
I’m ready to go
The horn sounds loudly
I push off of my toes
Breathing is key
Take it from me
Embracing the surroundings
As magical as it can be
Heading for the finish line
Just wait for me and you’ll see
I push through the pain
As hard as it can be
I’ll cross that line
Where my journey will be complete

Positivity Soar High
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Surrounding yourself with positivity
Like flowers blooming in a garden
Letting the negativity fly by
Like the wind whipping through the sky
Spread your love to one and all
Like the suns rays shinning down
Let your love grow so high
Not missing a chance to let your positivity soar high

Intertwined
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Am I yours
Are you mine
Sometimes distance
But hearts intertwined
Lost in time
Press rewind
Hit pause
Stop back in time
When we first kissed
Became as one
Talked for hours
Under the rising sun
Am I yours
Are you mine
Giving no distance
Because are hearts will always be
Intertwined
I am yours and you are mine
Growing old together
Until the end of time

Senses of Change
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
I starve for the opportunity to happen
I thirst for the right time
I smell the change in the future
I hear the difference in our lives
I reach for our goals
I pray for us to embark on a new journey
In time, things will change, our hearts will be filled, and our journeys will begin anew
We just have to wait for the right time, but I pray for it to happen soon

Drops of Tears
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Catching drops of tears in my hands
Missing you, Dad, but still living the best life that I can
A tear falls down my cheek onto my shirt
I looked down and it’s in the shape of a heart
Showing me love from far away
I love you and miss you each and every single day....

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 ever found”

Making the Bed
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Growing up I never thought about making the bed every morning
Why make the bed when your going to get right back in it later that night
I had a thought today...
Making the bed every morning allows you to fold away your worries and cares of yesterday
When you unfold the bed at night and hop on in you peel away the thoughts and start anew
Think of this next time you think twice about making the bed every morning

Drifted apart....
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Play with me
Through the years
But as they went on
We drifted away
Causing many tears
Wondering why
What happened to us
We’ve been through it all
The blood, sweat, and the tears
I wish we could go back
To our younger years
Where we wished we were grown
But still young at heart
I wish we had never drifted apart

Life is Hard
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Life is hard
But then you learn
The harder life can be
The better chance of learning
All the little things you may not have seen
It makes you appreciate all the troubles you’ve had
Make your life count, because it’s the only chance you have

Prayers
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Dear Lord,
We pray that you touch your healing hands upon Lee and guide the surgeon with her surgery.
May she have a speedy recovery and please watch over her during this time.
May this surgery be successful and cast your every lasting love and strength upon her.
In your name, we pray...
Amen.
My aunt is having surgery today. Please send a prayer her way! Thank you!
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
When I look into your eyes
My body shivers
Melts into a puddle
But the puddle
That melted from my body
Waters my heart
Continuing my love to grow for you
Every time I look into your eyes
Sending shivers up and down my spine

Bubble thoughts
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Loss of words
In thin air
Bubble thoughts
Start to appear
Is that good
Is that bad
Guess I’ll find out
Since you can
Read my mind
Are you ready
To become a member
Of my thoughts
Brace yourself
For a wild ride
Inside my crazy mind

Burning your Past
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Burning your past
Rising up with the smoke
To embark on your future
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
To go unnoticed
Without the pleasure
Of your scent
Upon my body
Releasing incense, fragrance of love
Swirling blaze of fire
Miles away
Yet I’m still  not noticed
As I stand right in your way

Cigarette, dancing fairy
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
A burning cigarette dangling from your lips
Your saliva making it stay put there and stick
Ash building on the burning cherry
Flightless as ever was like a dancing fairy
Take a drag, fill your lungs
Toxic waste, blazing guns
One, two, three smokes a day
Calming your soul, your life away
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Waking up each day
A Cigogne, spreading its wings
High in the sky of this windy life
Ups and downs
Grateful, thankful to God
For I’m alive

Waking up each day
Counting the hours, the seconds
Painting each moment with joy
Makes the wrinkles fade
Can't evade
Without using the endless supplies Sow to reap
And embrace the content with both hands
For when we pass on
We leave
Empty vessels
Collaboration done with M-E! Great to work with you and get this awesome piece out of it!

Deeper, Deeper
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Your falling deeper into the trace
Spiraling out of control

Losing sight and spirit of your soul
Slamming into the brick wall
Falling back into reality of it all
Right back to where you started, after all

Shut up and Listen
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Talk

You talk to much
Maybe just shut up and listen for once
Close your mouth
Open your ears
You have a lot more to learn
Throughout your years

Masking your Pain
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Alcohol

Pills

Drugs

Bandaids

Are all forms of just taking away pain and hurt

It just masks your feelings and doesn’t resolve anything...

Help yourself or someone around you deal with the struggle and not just put a “bandaid” over the wound

I can’t breath...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Encased by frozen waters
Drowning deep within
Hitting solid ice
Sinking further into sin
Trying to catch my breath
Focus in this blurriness
Dropping further to the bottom
Losing my willingness
To stay afloat
Be coherent
I can’t breath
I can’t bre
I can’t
I....

10 minutes of Fame
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
10 minutes of fame
On national television
Can’t be beat
But boy, did we feel the heat
My husband and I were on the show Gordan Ramsey 24 hours to hell and back that aired last night. It was filmed in the town I live. It was a crazy, insane experience. 10 mins of fame was nice! Lol
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Baby steps is all it takes
To make you become aware
Of some of your faults and mistakes
Look further into the bigger picture
Like a flashlight glowing it’s rays
The smaller the focus, the less likely of seeing the bigger picture and understanding
But
When you zoom out the light and capture more of the beauty
You will be more inclined to more of what you were actually missing...

Fear of the Unknown
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
The fear of the unknown....

Don’t look at your past, learn from it
Live within the present, not rush the future
Dream about the future, not hold onto the past
Make each moment last and make it count
Stop fearing what you don’t know yet...

Be the inspiration, for someone
Be the.....
FRIEND for someone who needs it the most

A new life is brewing
Want to come and see
Follow and see where my dreams take me

Starting to believe
Can’t wait to see

A new start

A change is happening
Step aside, I’m ready to dive head first into a BIG change
You and me baby
We got this
Our new journey soon awaits

Have I ever....?
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Have I ever made you:
Smile
Be happy
Feel good about yourself
Help you grieve
Spread love
Show love
Think about something
Give you guidance
Help you with something


Then my job here is done.

This is why I write. If I at least helped one person with any one of my writes, then I have succeeded in what I do....

Think about that with your next write and maybe you can help someone and possibly change their day or their life....

Thank you to all who have done that for me!
