I am Human
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
I don’t claim to be perfect

I claim to be a human
And making mistakes is absolutely alright

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!

Let it be said...
Ashly Kocher May 2018
Hiding the pain
Doesn’t make you feel better
Doesn’t make it go away
            Don’t bottle it up
                Set it free
                  Write poetry
                    Just like me

It may not make sense to you
        But it does to me
I wrote what I feel
        Even if it’s fantasy
Scattered emotions
        Filling my head
Better get it out
        Let it be said

Find Yourself
Ashly Kocher Feb 2022
Someday, you will find yourself
Under the rubble of all that’s left from the exploded emotions you’ve endured throughout your years
But, always remember, without the journey you’ve been on, you wouldn’t be the warrior you are today
Those different layers of life, have showed you the way…
168 · May 2019
Enjoy
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Enjoy the sunshine while it last
Any second it’ll turn dark and rain will fall full blast

With You
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
The world doesn’t exist
(When I’m with you)

Times comes to a stop
(When I’m with you)

Everything goes silent
(When I’m with you)

My world lights up
(When I’m with you)

I fall more in love...
WHEN I’M WITH YOU!
Nothing exists when I’m with my husband. We get ewxother, we’re on the same page, I love him with all my heart...

Stress
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
My stress level is so high
Say prayer or two or five
Today has been trying
I’m not gunna lie
Today has been very trying at work. Rude people, people complaining and computer systems not working. Ugh. Ok I’m good now lol
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
A wedding band is a symbol of your love for each other....

Until it is lost....

Husband says to me....
It’s just a ring
We are both still here
I love you...
We will get a new one if it is not found...

Now that’s a symbol of love
I was adjusting my rings last night while sitting on the couch.., the slipped off and I caught my engagement ring and thought my wedding ring slipped into the couch...literally ripped it all apart and nothing to be found... I feel lost without it

Face It

Dark Place
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
A dark place you may be
Add some water
Wait and see
Just because it’s dark right now
In due time, a glimmer of light
Will shine down
As you grow and bloom into something beautiful
You’ll look back and understand why
The dark place you were in was just a faze
To bring you the time you needed alone, sit back and gaze
Give you rest, build your strength and shine the light on you
When you were ready to bloom and grow...
We all go through a dark time in our lives. Look at it as something good... a dark place will always shine a light when the time is right for you to grow from your past and struggles.

Talk

The fear of talking about something
You don’t want to talk about
But yet also need to talk about
How do you cope?

Never to Late
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
It’s never to late
To have a change of heart

It’s never to late
To be who you really are

It’s never to late
To makeup for your mistakes

It’s never to late
To follow your dreams

It’s never to late
To smile and embrace the day

It’s never to late
To help yourself

Even in the rough times
Always remember

           ITS NEVER TO LATE
                     To change

Lifeless Body...
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Your lifeless body laying there, the silence was dark
The chill grew colder, the time passed by
The wait was over, it was time for goodbye
We surrounded your bedside, we prayed and sang
I know you heard us, and still to this day
The silence is now broken but the chill is still cold
Well be ok, I'm sure you know

I hope your watching over me each and everyday because I know your still with me in some way
I look to the sky and I know your still there...

You will always be my "Papa Bear."
I wrote this right after my dad passed away 4 years ago today.

Glitter in the Air
Ashly Kocher Aug 2019
The sky looks like oceans waves
Crashing down, swirling away
Making it suddenly rain
Turning darker and darker
Drifting away
Trees swaying in the wind
Birds flying high, heading downwind
The sun hiding behind the clouds
But at the end of it, a rainbow can be found
When the sun shines bright
Casting a glimmer of light
Ending your day, living the highlife....
Be thankful for the little things
Even if they seem dark at times
In the end, throw the glitter in the air
Watch it fall slowly all over your hair
Letting you shine, shimmer and glisten
For everyone to share
(In your love and happiness)

Blending in/standing out
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Blending in your
                      IMPERFECTIONS
Just covers up your
                          PERFECTIONS
            That make you Stand Out
      From everyone else in the world
Don’t try to blend in and follow the mold of everyone
Stand out and show the world that
               IMPERFECTIONS
                        ARE
                   PERFECTLY
                     PERFECT
Embrace your imperfections no matter what they are and make a stand for yourself that you are perfect...

Dormant Volcano
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Keeping it at bay
Like a dormant volcano
Knowing any second
It could erupt causing a mess
Reeking chaos and distress
Like a burning fire smoldering
Hoping for the best

The Middle
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Stuck in the middle
Caught between the riff
Barely staying afloat
But not yet sinking

Waterfall
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Flying over troubled waters
Skimming the surface of jagged edges
Shallow thoughts get deeper into your journey
Only to take flight over the waterfalls edge

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

Whisper down the Alley
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Whisper down the alley used to be a fun and harmless game as children
Now, it’s more like whisper down the alley with chutes and ladders in a game a chess...

Best Friend
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
Walking barefoot through the sand
Pulling me closer, holding my hand
As the sun sets for the night
You whisper to me
“I love you infinitely with all my might”
Capturing the beauty and essence of our love
Drawing a heart on the sand
I’m so glad I found you
I married my best friend...
166 · Nov 2019

With the sun blinding my eyes
I gathered my thoughts
Took a deep breath
Reminding myself that I’m truly blessed

Choosing sides
   Caught in the middle

              To just choose
                  To be on your own side

Climb the Ladder
Ashly Kocher May 2018
Climb the ladder all the way to the top, don't ever look back because all you have to go is up
Wrote this for my sisters back when my family Home caught fire and burned. She’s is scared of heights and we had ladders throughout the house to see the renovations going on throughout the house. She conquered her fears...

Dreams at Night
Ashly Kocher May 2018
We all dream at night
Often we wake up remembering our dreams as vivid as ever, completely thinking they were real
Other times, we wake up not recollecting not one piece of the dream
Today I woke up and my dreams are compiled in my head because my head feels like it’s going to explode

       I really would like to know what I was dreaming about last night....
         Guess I will never know but I’ll revisit my dreams tonight
When I close my eyes oh so tight
        Allowing me to relive what I was dreaming about last night.....

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....

Dead Silence
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
A hand covers my mouth
As I open my eyes
My heart beats out of my chest
I’m in such surprise
Should I fight what is happening
Or just stay still
Sometimes it’s fun
But this is no thrill
I’m attacked without notice
No one is around
Should I stay try and scream
Or fall slowly to the ground
I don’t know what is happening
I feel so helpless....

I come to realize
I am actually alone
Panic attack happening
What the **** is going on?
Dripping in sweat
Hot as hell
Silent screams as I try and yell
Cold dark room is what I feel
I look around hear or see nothing but

DEAD SILENCE...

Panic attacks are real
You feel someone or something there
But you have the struggle of you alone
Sometimes they are just too hard to bare
The struggle is real for those who deal
With panic attacks
165 · Jan 2021
Naturally
Ashly Kocher Jan 2021
Poetic me
Comes naturally
Spiritually lifted
Guiding me
Feeling the force
Leading me too
Unexpected surprise
Soothing my soul
165 · May 2019
I love you
Ashly Kocher May 2019
I just want to say
I love you all the way
To the moon, jumping across stars, floating on clouds, sliding down a rainbow, to the top of the trees, dancing down the leaves, to the grass, into my heart and all the way back....




I love you....
165 · Oct 2018
Look...a twinkling star
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Look....
Way up in the night sky...
That shining star twinkling so bright...
That’s my dad waving and saying hello...
Dear Lord, do I miss him so...

When you see a twinkling star in the night sky
Look up smile, wave and say hi
It may be your loved ones or someone else’s
But it’s someone looking down from heaven saying hello and protecting you from high above...
Hello to all the shining and twinkling stars
Thank you for watching over us from a far
165 · Apr 2018
Tears
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
We all cry
Droplets of tears
That fall down our cheeks
Landing straight in our hands
Leaving an imprint on our hearts
Bottle up the emotions that fell from your eyes
Then you can look back years from now
You’ll be surprised
How many tears you’ve cried throughout the years
Making stronger of a person
Just by capturing your tears..
Just a thought ??

Distance Echos
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Distance echos
Coming from the woods
As leaves change colors
Falling gracefully to the ground
Piling up
One by one
Hidden by chill in the air
Fall has arrived
Now the trees will all be bare
As distance echos linger
From inside the woods
Without a single care
