Ocean Blue
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Like a boat sailing in the wind
Crashes through the forceful waves
Pouring out your emotions like the fish swimming through the waters
The feeling of freeness as you release all the
Hurt
Pain
Anxiety
Sadness
Guilt
Confusion
Anger
But also having the feeling of love
As your surrounded and being engulfed by the simplicity of the open waters with no end in sight
Be fearless and release all the emotions out in the open
You’ll begin to feel the heaviness of the weight being lifted
Like the anchor being pulled out from the ocean deep
You still got fight left in you
Set sail across the great big ocean blue

Words of Silence

Ghost of my Dream
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
We had a conversation
While at a dance event
You were not happy
How things have turned out

I said to you..
“I want to choreograph a dance in honor of the three of you”
To the song called “Hero” to express my love and gratitude
You started to tear up when I said this to you
The studio isn’t what it used to be
It used to be our home
You looked at me and said “ if we could go back in time, handed you the studio, would things be different?”

My home was the dance studio
Where I grew up and learned to dance
I was there practicing at every chance

Oh, did I mention that this was a dream?
A dream where my former dance teacher
Came through to me
It felt so real, like you were really there
Telling me how you feel and still care

Since the three of you left this world
A piece of my heart went to heaven
Leaving my heart broken apart

The studio just isn’t the same
In the hands of a former student
I will not speak ill of anyone
But what have you done
With our place that we called home?

What does this mean
That you came into my dream,
At such a random time in my life

Can I go back to sleep
To talk about more things so deep
To me, this shows me
That you all know what’s going on
Down here on earth
From Heaven above.....
My former dance teacher who was murdered back in 2002 in West Palm beach Florida, came through to me in my dream last night. We talked for hours about what the dance studio is turning into since her as well as her mom and gramdmother( also who ran the studio) have also passed.
I’m not sure what this dream meant but I’m taking it as “they know exactly what is going on”
It doesn’t matter exactly what it meant because I got to see her and hear her voice and it felt so real.

Girl in my dreams part 3
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
The girl in my dream has returned to me
Picking up where it left off, kissing me
Slow and soft, a little slip of her tongue
As she caresses the back of my neck ( yup I’m done)
This is just the beginning of fun
Slowly laying me on the bed
As she gets on top of me ( **** I’m turned on)
Licking my body up and down
I can’t be quite, I’m letting out loud sounds
The girl and I get ******* (use your imagination) but **** I liked it
This girl in my dreams turned me on so hard
Making me shiver and shake in a fantastic way
Why did I like it so much with a girl?
Is it wrong that I want to do it more?
Let’s see if she comes back to me
In my dreams
Fulfilling my fantasy
With...
This girl in my dreams...

Fire in my Eyes

Static Eyes
Ashly Kocher May 2019
I see the static in your eyes
Like a blizzard falling from the sky
Blanketing the ground
Not making a sound
No thought process
Can be found
Fuzziness taking over
Stay away and take cover
Flying objects may cause harm
But that static in your eyes
Can’t come undone

Blink of an eye....
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
Your life can change in a blink of an eye
For some, they are not so lucky
For others, someone was watching over them

If you don’t believe in angels or a higher being... read this...

My boss was driving on the highway...
The car in front of him got a flat tire while driving and it flew off and hit my boss’s van head on almost going through the front window....
He had on sunglasses or it may have been a little worse, but he is otherwise perfectly fine.  

In a blink of an eye, your life could change...

Mind

My mind is a capsule
        Holding all the pieces

The pieces to the puzzle

Just scribbling down some different ideas. Yay or nay?

Singing Birds
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
I could sit outside all day
Listening to the birds singing away
Never afraid of judgement
Or fear of the branch breaking
Content in their heart
Along with many friends hanging by their sides
Flying with the wind
Loving each moment
Singing as loud as can be
Having that feeling
Of just being free
170 · Oct 2017
Hid
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Hid
Do you hid behind the clouds
Of someone else’s dreams you have for yourself
Try to emerge like a butterfly from its cocoon
Falling at first but catching wind like a free flying balloon
Rising up to the shining lights
Your time will come soon
For then you’ll be in the spotlight
170 · Dec 2018
Spark Within
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
It’s ok if your spark is losing intensity
But don’t ever let that spark go out
Take a breath or even a step back
When you are fully ready ignite that fire and let it burn higher then before
Never lose faith in yourself and
Your spark will never go dark

New Adventure
Ashly Kocher Nov 2021
We closed the door
One final time
Walked down the stairs
Stopped at the bottom
Grab hands
Squeezed them tight
Jumped into our new adventure
Together feeling so right
Here’s to writing our new book of our life

Misconstrued
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
Oh how words can be misconstrued
When your reading them through technology
Rather then standing face to face in front of you....
How our world works today with the technology we have....often can be misinterpreted and cause friction for your whole day

Biggest Hurdle

The biggest hurdle in your life to embark towards your own happiness is the willingness to close the door to all the negativity behind you and open a new door that’s right in front of you

Static Shock
Ashly Kocher Aug 2021
Brain is wired differently
Static shock fills my head
Too many tabs open
Can’t filter out the dead air
Pick a new wire, everyday, and focus on that
Giving yourself some relief to leave it in the past
Focus on you and how you comprehend
You’ll learn and grow stronger in the end…

Colorful Eyes
Ashly Kocher Aug 2021
Swirling colors paint the sky
The same colorful look that’s swirling in your eyes
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Closed minded
Is what you want to be
Open your heart
Then maybe you’ll see
The darkness turned to light
That glimmer of hope
Anticipation of freight
To just let yourself go
Don’t bite the hand that feeds you
You may only get one chance
For if you throw it all away
You’ll just be taking a step back
Always allow help but don’t turn your back for you never know moving forward is you’ll get that chance back. For If you do? You’ll loose you fate and that lock on that gate will be closed forever.

Swimming through Glass
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Swimming wild and few
Through shards of glass
Like walking through the world
Being bullied and attacked
Words hurt and cut deep down
Even with a surface scratch
You’ve attacked my body
Leaving scars left behind
But it had made me stronger
As I still continue to swim
Through those shards of glass
Bullying is real and it hurts just like swimming through glass....

Good Morning
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
To the days where you
Wake up
Say good morning to your husband
He kisses you “in that way”
You head back to bed
Have a little fun
Start your day
With a smile on your face
Good morning to all
It’s going to be a great day!
Just a little fun ;)

Wrong Way
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Ever feel like your walking the wrong way
Fighting the current to stay afloat
Seem invisible in a crowded room
Talking so loud but not being heard...

We’ve all been there...

Stay calm
Focus on you
You’ll figure it out
When the time is right
168 · Mar 2018
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.

Rich or Poor
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Someone asks you: Are you rich or poor?
You reply: I am poor...
They ask: why do you say that?
You reply: because I don’t have a lot of things like I wish I did....
They reply: but you have LIFE, that makes you rich enough....

Let that sink in for a minute...
It’s not about what you own or what you have... you have life and that’s more then some others.

Focus on Everything
Ashly Kocher Jun 2022
Don’t just focus on what’s right in front of you
Focus high above
Look past the horizon
Reach for what’s beyond what you can see
Live for the small things that make you happy
Smile for all you can see and what you will see
Love yourself always and show love for all around
Focus on everything, not just one thing…

My Birthday
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
33 years and still going strong
From they day I was born I wasn't suppose to be here long
Being born premature
And without a windpipe
My parents and family were filled with fright
I don't know how I am still here today but
I am a baby miracle in every way
Living life to the fullest
And loving it so
Never thinking I'd be here
Where did the time go?
I thank God everyday that he kept me here
Spending my infectious smile and giving cheers
33 years and going strong
From the day I was born I wasn't suppose to be here long...
Repost from my writing I did last year for my 32 Birthday.

Full Moon
Ashly Kocher Jan 2021
Full moon rising
Like the freedom of a new dawn
When you spot it tonight
Breath in and breath out
Releasing all your worries and doubts
Like the moon, covered in imperfections, we too, may start a new
Blanketed within the darkness
Yet, surrounded by the stars illuminations, following its path
Guidance is always in sight
Catching a ride on the moonbeams
Seek and you shall find thunderous energy feeling so divine
Even the moon has its ups and down yet always seems to rise high in the sky

Tears falling
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
When the clouds produce the rain that falls from the sky
Have you ever wondered if it’s our loved ones leaving out a good cry?
Next time it rains and a raindrop falls down your face
Think of your loved ones who are there with you in that moment and place...

Marriage. Love is Love

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!

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)

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.

End of my Rope
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
I’m at the end of my rope
It’s slipping away
Holding on tight
Losing grip
Hands all torn up
Blood dripping down my arms
Trying to ease the pain
Nothing is helping it go away
Do I just let go
See what happens
Maybe I will fall
Or maybe I will
Rise above it all
Don’t ever give up
Even if your at the end of your rope
Maybe something better is there
Just gotta have hope
Look at every situation
As a challenge of your strength
You have so much more to give
Each day you awake
Is the start of a blank page...
Even at the end of your rope never give up hope
Next page
