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....

Wish and Dreams
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Back to the grind of work so it is
Stress level is already high, my boiling point is about to fizz
Relaxation and fun in the sun has come to an end
Think happy thoughts and fly me back to where our journeyhad come to an end
Look for the star
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Hold on to it oh so tight
Your dreams are within reach
If you just believe
Our happy ending is just you and me

Board Game
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Life is like a board game
Roll the dice
Move forward
Take a couple steps back
Battle your way through the maze of moves and obstacles
Everyone will eventually have a turn at winning
While others fall back to the beginning
Only to start over again...

How the World Turns.....
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
How does the earth rotate?

We are told by its axis that it rotates every 24 hours but never feel it move...

My theory...

Throughout the entire world
There are different time zones
When we are sleeping in the USA
Others around the world are working
Also, vice versa....

Did you ever think
The world rotates because of us humans
Walking
    Running
        Driving
         Riding your bicycle
                  Etc....
Causing the friction to rotate the earth
Kinda like a treadmill.....
Do you think that’s what makes to world go ‘round?

Just a thought....

Take on the World
Ashly Kocher May 2018
I take on the world like nothing is wrong

I hide my emotions with a smile but something inside is different

A different person lives inside me

A person who is insecure and has no confidence

My eyes tell a different story, just look deep within and you will see

My eye are bright, my eyes are blue

But deep within you will see the truth

3 Poems in One
Ashly Kocher Jan 2021
She
(Who is me)
Is scared to be
(Something she is not)
For all to see
(Broken-hearted)
Yet happy as can be
(How is it possible)
To set my intentions free
(Figuratively)
Read all together, then read every other line.

Find Your Spotlight
Ashly Kocher Jun 2022
Maybe the spotlight didn’t shine on all of your dreams
But somehow it just dimmed on this fantasy
Better yet, the light just hasn’t been found
Or maybe its not noticed on this side of town

Step into the sunlight
Shine your smile for all those tonight
Who’s going through a tough time
Be the light to shine so bright
Maybe your their dream’s coming to life
Disguised within your own work of art

Like the ocean waves sing the melody
Be the voice for those drowning emotionally
Your spoken words come to life
Spreading love and joy
Look, you found your spotlight!

One hell of a try
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
My wings have been clipped
I can no longer fly
But it won’t keep me down
I’ll give it one hell of a try
Don’t be discouraged if you have been hurt. Keep fighting and try... your stronger then you know

Binx
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
My heart is broken because your not here with me
Your getting to treatment you need to help you get better
But I wish you were home here with me
I’ve had you since you were a couple months old
Your my baby binx and I love you so
My cat binx is having kidney trouble. Hoping everything is ok... we’ll find out later today.

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

Scars into Stories
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
All your scars
Show who you are
Try and connect them
See what is shows
It will reveal that you
Have a heart
Feel pain and love
No matter how hard it gets
Feel that inside of you?
It’s beating for a reason
Pumping blood throughout your body
Embrace your scars
Turn them into positive stories
For you are worthy and blessed
To have a beating heart inside of you

Glimmer of Hope
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
When you have a glimmer of hope
A possible chance
A moment of anticipation
A taste of excitement....

The
   Hope
     Chance
           Anticipation
                   Excitement

All goes away
In a split second
But you still hold onto
      That little
                   Glimmer of Hope
Was late..... thought maybe it finally happened that I could be pregnant.... unfortunately no...

Lighting Bugs
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
As the darkness of the night approaches around us
The little lighting bugs fly around
Lighting up the way, not making a sound
Flashes of light in these little creatures
Make it possible for us to realize
No matter how big or small
Your light will always shine
Even in the darkest of times...

Dragonfly
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
5 years ago today
There was a dragonfly on our patio...

....Today on our patio
There was a dragonfly....

What change is about to happen?

Weirdest part is...
...the picture from 5 years ago and the picture today...

....was taken an hour apart from each other....

5 years apart and almost in the same spot....

....Things that make you go hmmm....

          Change is a coming.....

(Don’t) Run/Hide
Ashly Kocher Feb 2022
Run
Hide
Don’t you fall
Your heart is heavy
You’ve carried it all
Pick up the pieces
Carry them too
Find a safe place
Release it all

Cry
Scream
Reflect on yourself
But don’t you worry
You are STRONG

Read that again…
DON’T Run
DON’T Hide
Your heart may be heavy
Yes, you’ve carried it all
Find those lost pieces
Carry them too
Find your happy place
Reflect and relax your soul  
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Rude
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Saying “I’m sorry”
    With eyes rolling
       Is more rude then
          Lying to my face
                      Or
“Stabbing” me in the back

Hidden Warrior
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
To be afraid
To show your armor
To face your fears
Covering it with a smile
Breaking the barriers and the wind around
Embracing my feet upon the ground
Struggling to find piece of mind
Holding on to what’s left of mankind
Capturing the moment of light within the darkness
Surrounding yourself with a protective armor
To be not afraid of your fears
Even shedding a few tears
Releasing a real smile
Through the eyes of a warrior
Not afraid of the pain and struggles
Exposing yourself to the world like an underexposed blurriness of a picture
Showing your battle scars but not dwelling on them
Looking forward to a better future
You are a warrior even if it’s hidden like a buried treasure

Bubbles
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Blowing bubbles
Into thin air
Softly soaring
High
Without a care
Floating up like a loose balloon
Vanishing in the distance in the clouds infused
Some will pop before they form
Others will fly high heading straight for the storm

The storm of lost feelings and fears
Revealing our thoughts and memories throughout the years
Don’t loose your purpose of life’s untold stories
Bubbles flying around the skyline
Showing your stories true hard drive of your memories storage

Look Around
Ashly Kocher Jun 2022
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is right
Maybe everything is right
And nothing is really wrong
All about comes down to perspective and how you personally look at the things around you
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
Above it all
I have no shame
I am who I am
I take the blame

This is me
Who I’m meant to be
If you didn’t like it
Then don’t acknowledge me

I will not change who I am
I am strong
I am humble
I am me

Take me or leave me
If you please
I will not change
This is me

I am kind
I am beautiful
I am independent
As I can be

For if you love me
Then you will see
I am who I’m meant to be
Be my friend
If you so choice to be...

Glow in my Heart
Ashly Kocher May 2018
She asks from a distance
(Standing within the dense fog)
Can you see me or not at all?
He replied “ I can always see you my love, your heart glows brights whenever we’re together ”

Suddenly I melt (like I always do) when he whispers “I love you”

My hearts skips a beat or two
I’m always happy when (I’m with you)

Even when I’m not in the best of moods
You somehow always manage to make me smile
I will always have trust in you

Take my hand, togetherness fly
To the world of the unknown
Together, wild and free
Don’t ever be scared
I am always here
Forever and always
I love you with every beat of my heart

Blank Canvas
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
A blank canvas in front of me
Close your eyes
What do you see?
A world filled with happiness and love of all
No one gets hurt and will rise above the fall
Open your eyes
Touch the paintbrush tip to the blank canvas
Making strokes of colors fulfilled from your
                      IMAGINATION

Curled up Missing You
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Find me
Curled up
In front of
The fire place
Shedding a tear
Since your not here
By my side
Snuggled up
Next to me
Looking up
At me
With your glowing eyes
Melting my heart
Oh I wish we didn’t have to say
Goodbye
Today is 4 months with our cats binx. Miss him so very much.
