Carousel
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Give me one reason

To break down my wall

And allow you into my life

Will you hurt me again?

I will not be played the fool

Going round and round

On the carousel that had no end...

Never Happened
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Sometimes I stop and think

Where would I be

If certain events in my life

Or certain people I never met

Never happened?
Ever wonder this thought?

You’ll be awakened when you realize

Who you were

For then your soul will be woken to find out

Tears of Joy
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
As your lips
Pressed against mine
I simply melted
Into a pool
Of my own
Tears of joy

Dreams
Ashly Kocher Jun 2019
Let your bad dreams come to me
I will catch them naturally
Once they hit my weave of webs
The nightmares will be gone from your head
Don’t you worry
If another nightmare comes along
I will catch them and send good ones
Back to you
So sleep tight
I will guide you
Into your deepest good dreams at night

Silence
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Ever just sit in silence
Yet it’s not silent at all
The thoughts in your brain
Are as high pitched
Like children playing
at the playground
Where is the off switch to
Turn my brain off
Silence isn’t golden
When you can’t just shut off
Am I the only one who can’t shut off my brain especially at night? Screaming thoughts make the room sound like surround sound.

Black Sheep
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Three white sheep
               Three black sheep
Family divided
                It’s all your fault
Being the “master”
                You did this all
Drawing the line in the grass
The three black sheep have now taken a step back...

Seashells

Broken seashells along the beach
Find a beauty in between
Amongst the broken scattered shells
An untouched one
With a full story to tell

But don’t fear the darkness
The fire in your heart will shed light on your darkest days...

Colors of the Sky
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
The majestic colors of the sky
Ever changing before our eyes
It's Gods canvas he hand paints for all to see
If you look hard and just believe
There is a hidden message for you and me
Our loved ones are watching over us
Thank you for the amazing work of creation of the castle of heaven for our loved ones to be...

Rain Glitter
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
I write notes on pieces of paper
Then tear them up
Tossed them into the air
Make it rain glitter
With determination to be different

Taylor Swift
Ashly Kocher May 2019
The story of us can be just mean
Sparks fly causing a scene
The last time of being 22
Teardrops falling on my guitar
As we sing about Tim McGraw
It’s that time to shake it off
Staring into blank space
Bad blood between us
Showing our style and our wildest dreams
We are never ever ever getting back together
We’re not out of the woods
I don’t wanna live forever
Finding New Romantics
Oh look what you made me do
Are you ready for it, the end game
I am as delicate as a passenger train
Babe, let’s go back to be 15
Where it was just me and our song
Singing our love story of I’m only me when I’m with you
Holding the picture to burn of your beautiful eyes
Wanting change is crazier then a pure white horse
You belong with me sharing the best day
Fearless, back to December
You and me= mine
As the sparks fly...
Are you ready for it?
Took titles of Taylor swifts songs and made a write out of it. Pretty cool.

Ocean, deep and wide
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Her eyes swell up with tears
Like the ocean, deep and wide
Filled with surprises through her deep blue colored eyes
Masking up her emotions, like a fish hiding in the night
From its prey, only coming to realize, she’s always seen, just not always in the spotlight

Hearts Journey

Setting her eyes on fire
Looking for the smoke to settle
Following her hearts journey

Broken Lies
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Today was the day to start a new life
You got cold feet and didn’t want to be his wife
You ****** up and ruined his and our family’s ties
Acting so happy in love but it was all lies
You never grieved the loss of dad
Now your left alone unhappy and sad
Maybe you should have thought this all through
The ending you wanted didn’t come true
The family is broken and guess what...
It’s all because of YOU!
My mom was suppose to get married today on my sisters birthday( ******* up) she called the wedding off and there relationship only 5 weeks ago.... I think this poem says it all....
145 · May 2019
Let me be
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Let me be
I’ll come around
When I’m good and ready
But not yet... not drowning
My heart will scream
Yet not make a sound
Let me be
When I’m good and ready
I’ll come back around

No Sense
Ashly Kocher Aug 2019
Why is there always that one person to take everything out of context or make completely no sense in what is actually being said or done?
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
You better be kind
You better look out
Look for the signs
When you have some doubt
Your loved ones are always close by

They see you when your grieving
They know when you need help
They know when you are in a slump
So their here to help you out

You better be kind
You better look out
Look for the signs
When you have some doubt
Your loved ones are always close by

Oh, you better be kind
You better look out
Wait for the signs
In times of doubt
Your loved ones are always
You loved ones are always
Oh, your loved ones are always close by
Just look up to the sky
Their spreading their wings
Saying hello and giving you peace
Your loved ones are always close by...
Read/ sing to the tune of “ Santa Claus is Coming to town”’

Dig Deep
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Never give up
Always dig deep

Waiting for you
To make them compete
Never giving up
Always digging deep
Trying to get the dreams
Right under your feet

How can you forgive
When you’ve lost something
You’ve always wanted the most

I Do
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Happiness is all around
Time can be turned upside down
Love is everlasting space
When I’m within your warm embrace
To have and hold your heart forever
Since the day we said “I Do”
My life has been tremendously better
A poem I wrote back in high school but added and changed a bit to for my life now.

(I’m)Perfect
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Perfectly imperfect
Practicing perfection
Prevailing premonitions
Premonitions pray
Playing psychology
Psychology poems
Poetry’s plan
Plans perfectly
Possibly improving
Poetry’s imperfect
Passing perfection
Preaching
(I’m) Perfect
Ashly Kocher Jun 2019
And with the sound of music
The show must go on
You’ll always be in our hearts
Don’t cry for me, I’m defying gravity
On my own, but think of me in your memory
Close every door and let it go
Let me be your star
As if we never said goodbye
There’s  no business like show business
You’ll never walk alone
Just look for me in the corner of the sky
My brother-in-law peacefully
Passed this morning. :(

Emptiness
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Emptiness
Starving for attention
Trying to protect my aggression
Feeling like a ball and chain
No resistance from this pain
Crawling out of my skin
Crying tears within
Someone please send help
Before I completely fall in...

Happy New Year

May all you wishes come true!

Darkness
Ashly Kocher Sep 2017
The sun is shining
It's a normal day
In a blink of an eye the sky turns dark
The heavens open up and something bad is about to start
All of a sudden a blast a light fills the sky
Cutting off the power one light at a time
We're left in the darkness and fear the unknown
What is happening?
Everything in the city has been blown
Everyone is in a frantic, scared and alone
Minutes go by, hours have past
We walk around to see what happened so fast
A few blocks down the power is on
It's like nothing has happened but what went wrong
Why did our city just go dark and everything just suddenly stop?
You never know when something will happen
You just need to face it head on and see what next will happen...
I had a dream last night that I was at work and the sky turned dark and a massive lighting strike filled the sky. Everything was left in the dark but the next town over was perfectly fine, like nothing happened. Very weird.

Heaven
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Our life here on earth

Is just a holding place

Until our time is up

And we are called “Home”

To live our life from Heaven above....

2020
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
2020 has been a struggle as so many can say, but for me, particularly, it’s been a struggle everyday.
From continually working through the pandemic, from having a miscarriage when I didn’t know I was pregnant, stress, anxiety, fear, not being myself. It’s been a emotional rollercoaster.
We all have different feelings and perspectives on what has been going on all around the world, this is just mine.

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
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
It’s tough to grasp the magnitude of your feelings
Holding on to the last string of your rope
Hands are burning from the friction of your hands
Fighting to hold on as long as you can
Once you calm down
Try to relax
You will find out your much stronger then you realize
Where you can find yourself climbing back up towards the top

Never give up
Always hold on tight
Life will throw you curve *****
Try to hold on, with all your might...
