Run Down, Stay Strong
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
Run down
Emotions on high
Swirling together
Losing the drive
That I used to have
But fighting hard
I’m better than that
I will not let it pull me down
I will stand strong
In the end...

Darkness Falls
Ashly Kocher Sep 2022
Darkness cascades over us at night
Amidst the chaos in our lives
Beneath the shadow of the moon
Glimmer of hope follows through
Angel wings turn black as black
Protecting us and having our back
Though can not be seen, glowing at night
Darkness falls, yet the real angels rise
In the quiet and still of those dark nights

One Month
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
It’s been one month
Since I’ve held you
Since I kissed you
Since I cuddled you
Since I saw you
Since I hugged you
Since I heard you purring
Since you looked at me
Since you talked to me
Since you laid with me
Since you followed me

It’s been one month that your gone
One month that my heart of broken
But even though your gone, your always in my heart forever and always

One month......
Binx, your always in my heart

Sinking under Water
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Submerge your self
Under water
Hold your breath
Close your eyes
You have a split second
Two choices
Give up
Stop breathing
          Or
Have your life
Flash before your eyes
Thinking of your hopes and dreams
Family and friends
The life you have ahead of you

       Which choice do you make?
We all feel like we’re sinking in water and can’t fight anymore. Do you give in and just give up and let go or do you find a way to fight the current and swim back to the top?
213 · Jan 2019
A New Life
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
A new life is brewing
Want to come and see
Follow and see where my dreams take me
I’m making a wish
Starting to believe
Can’t wait to see
Where this new journey will lead me
A new start
A new life
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
Us

Broken
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
Feeling broken
Mending the pieces back together
One wrong move and it will all crumble down
Your love is my glue to keep me from shattering
Into a million broken pieces like through shifting sand
To find the treasure that will never break
Your love will keep me together and sane
Ashly Kocher May 2018
Love for one
Love for all
Love for the soldiers who have fall(en)

We pray for you
We pray for your families
We pray we all stay safe
Within this crazy world we live in

Thanks to you
Thanks to everyone
Who have served our country
Fighting to protect us

Let’s take a minute
Bow our heads
Say a prayer
For all those who died fighting to keep us all safe
Throughout the years....

For there are times in your life

One of Those Days
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
Ever have one of those days
Where your morning at work just started
Nothing makes sense
Nothing is adding up
You can cut the tension with a knife

You just want to go back home
Push rewind
And start over?

Good Tuesday’s morning
Hoping today gets better
Trying to stay positive
Keeping a smile on my face...

Stories
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
It’s not about all that we have                   accomplished
              But rather the journey we embark on
                         And
    The people we meet that become family
                         And
      Help us tell our story within our lives

Love is a Puzzle
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Love is like a puzzle
Always trying to fit the pieces together
Flipping, moving and trying to make them fit together
But once you find that missing piece
You’ll come across a beautiful masterpiece
When all the pieces fall into place
That’s when you’ll find the true meaning of
           L
               O
                   V
                       E

Off Balance
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
A little off balance and dizziness in my head
Don’t feel sick, just a little unstead(y)
Maybe it’s the weather
Maybe it’s something more
Fingers crossed, that all is good
Hopefully I’m ok and will get back to feel the way I should
Unable to explain exactly how I feel
I can get a little snippy or aggravated fast
I’m sorry about that, I’m trying to be me again at last
Hopefully my tests will give us answers fast
I want to be me again...
Less foggy, off balance, not myself, but to be my spunky self again very fast...
Wrote this for my mother in laws husband who has been feeling off lately. Getting an mri and hoping for answers.

Digging up the Past
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Friends come and go like a revolving door
When you least expect it
Your past will be dug up
Like founding buried treasures on X marks the spot
Memories flood back into your heart
Covering your body in chills
Taking you right back to the start

Many years have past since these memories have been brought up
Even though it ties back to sadness since your depart
You left our lives way too soon
Your smile was always as bright as the moon

Connecting puzzles pieces from your past to now
Who’d ever thought this is how it turns out
20 years ago connects your past to your present
Certainly the future friendships will grow stronger and will always last

At unexpected times people and memories will show up
Taking you back in time and filling your heart with love
Even though so much time has past
We all hold onto the amazing times and memories that we once had...
       Sometimes digging up the past
Could mend your heart
          And
         Broken friendships
             Taking you right back to the start....
210 · Jan 2019
Deeper, Deeper
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Your falling deeper into the trace
Spiraling out of control
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
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
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
I have created a collection called
“Girl in my Dreams”
Would love to see everyone add poems and writings into it
I have added some of my writings. ;)
Let’s see your writings and get to know one another a little better....

Shadow
Ashly Kocher May 2017
Standing in the light will cast a shadow
Hiding in the shadow will brighten your light
Never hide your fears and doubts
Always look for the light, but never be in the direct path...

Another year, another tear
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Another year

Mother’s Day

Never will
Be a mother
Childless
That’s all
I’ve got
Another year
Another tear
I will shed

Almost Full Circle
Ashly Kocher Jan 2021
To almost come full circle
Is perfectly imperfect
Filling the void of struggle and guilt
Holding onto that one thing in life
That you still can’t figure out
209 · Jan 2018
Juggle
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
In many ways
Humans are like an octopus
We only have two arms
But juggle more then we can handle

The Perfect Storm
Ashly Kocher May 2019
The perfect storm:
Two hearts collide as one
I guess I was the absolute lucky one
Finding my heart
My partner in crime
I see fireworks every time
You look
Touch
Glacé
Kiss
Hug
Me
The feeling is real
The feeling of you and me
Wishing and dreaming
Hoping and praying
Together for always
Living and loving
Our life with one another
Being wild and free
Forever and ever

Background Beauty
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
You always think it’s a gloomy day
When the sun hides behind the clouds
Not shining it’s rays of light upon us

Ever stop and think
Beauty is just as beautiful
Even when it’s hidden in the background
Not in the spotlight for all to see

Look beyond the bigger picture
You will see more then expected
When you look outside the box
Seeing the beauty from afar

Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Sometimes you have to put yourself out there and show both sides of you. Fresh face and made up face. Never be afraid to just show your true self and remember we have all a place.

Nature Talks
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Walking in nature
Feeling the wind
Wrap it’s arms around me
Sun beating down
Drying my tears
Saying the unsaid words
As the birds sing a song
To the music in my head
208 · Mar 2018
One of those Days
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Give me a break
Get off my back
I’m in a deep hole
And that is that

We all have those days
Of just being in a funk
There’s really nothing wrong

Just a lot in my mind
I’m to ******* myself
Just give me some time
I’ll be alright...
Anyone else feel this way sometimes? Ugh!
208 · Mar 2018
Expressing Myself
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
If it’s up to me
    I’ll try again
        Swallow my pride
             Not runaway and hide
For me this is an outlet
             Expressing myself
Regardless of opinions
       I do this for ME
If I touch someone’s heart
        For when I write
I’ve accomplished something
           Hey, that’s a start...
Sometimes it’s a swing and a miss
Not everything is roses and glitter
      Sometimes you’ll get dissed
I put so much hard work in all of this
     Be fierce and love what you do
Someone out there will be proud of you

Looking down upon me
Saying hello
Whoever you are
Know that I miss you so

Another Day

If something goes wrong, tomorrow is the start of another day....

Snow Fall
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Here we go
Another round of snow
How many days til spring
Do we have left to go?
Gracefully falling from high in the sky
Staying inside today and watching it pile high
Grab a cup of coffee and a warm blanket too
I’ll relax on the couch for now
Wishing it was summertime too
206 · Mar 2018
With Me
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Come fly with me to the unknown
Take my hand and close your eyes
Take that leap of faith with me
We’ll be alright, that’s a guarantee, when your with me
Have trust in me and we’ll go far
Our adventures are endless
When your protected in my arms
