Cut me down like a dead flower, throwing it to the ground, something lost but someone found, giving me life again, simply astounding...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Grasp anything sharp in my fist
Press it to your skin
                           It’s pure bliss
Bubbles of blood start to seep out
Releasing your struggles
                   and
                        Self doubt
When I was younger I used to cut or burn myself on purpose to release the pain about anything I was dealing with at the time. Always hurt but also felt so good. So many people struggle with self harm to their bodies. I used to be one of them.

The earth is round
The sun is round
The moon is round
The stars have points
The clouds produce rain

We plant the seeds
The flowers and trees bloom
Cold and warmth overtakes our soul

The heart pumps blood
Running through our veins
The cycle of life
Still remains
Dad

Dad
Your eyes are deep
Your eyes are talking
I have your eyes
I have your smile
I have your confidence
I am me
You are you
But together we are blood
We are father daughter
No matter if were together or not
You are always here with me by my side
Even though we had to say goodbye
You have molded me into what I am today
For that I thank you each and everyday
Miss you everyday dad

When your young and look up at your dad
You never were thinking “I miss you” and “I’m sad”
His little girl I always was and continue to be
I hope he is proud of what I’ve become and hope he’s watching over me
I never thought I would have to say goodbye so soon
But to Heaven I release this balloon
In honor of you and all you did for me
I close my eyes and transport back to younger me
To see your face
Look into your eyes
It’s so hard to say goodbyes
But in the end it’s see you again
When I close my eyes and see you whenever I can....
Missing my dad a lot today. It’s been 3 years since he’s passed away. 8-14-14
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
The time has come to close your eyes
We said our I love yous and said our goodbyes
It's time to relax and let the feelings go
Don't worry about us, were stronger then you know.

It's time to see the light, and feel gods touch
It's in gods hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.

To not acknowledging a critical tragedy in your life for over a year
Because you had “moved on” but you loved him so dear
You shoved it in a corner and forgot all about it
But now that “ it’s over” you uncover it and bring it back out
Now it’s all you talk about
He was your husband for 47 years
I get you moved on but why hide it for over a year
Now that its being shown to the world again
Should we all be happy to see the urn back in sight
It’s to little to late to try and be what we all thought you would be
Dad, I miss you and I’m sorry that you were hidden away
But your always with me
In my heart
Each and everyday
My mom was getting married after only 2 1/2 years after my dad passed. She hid is urn away from over a year... the wedding is canceled and now she puts it back on the mantle saying “this  is where dad belongs” to little to late now....
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Dad was shining his light upon me today
Feeling very sad since you went away
I looked to the sky, hoping for a sign
The suns rays were shining through oh so bright
I smile and said “I love you dad”
Took a picture, I was so glad
Glad to know he was listening to me
Thinking of me
Loving me
I miss you more then words can say
But I know your watching over me everyday....

The rhythm of the musics flows through your veins
Portraying a character when you take the stage
Emote the feeling through your breathless movements
Feeling the emotion pour out of your body
****** expressions are the most beautiful thing...
Telling the story through the eyes of
                      DANCE
Ashly Kocher Jun 2019
Once in a lifetime you get the chance
To take a step back and just

Not having a worry
Just being free
Letting your emotions
Be wild and carefree

Don’t be afraid to dance in the rain
It will help you release all that pain
The words that cannot be expressed
Can now be pulled off your chest
Through the simple motion of movement
You’ll learn about your self improvement

Just dance
With this
One chance

To dance upon water is to live as free as a floating angel in the sky

Words dance out of my head
Onto the blank page
Where magic ends up happening
Creating a beautiful write
Capturing the essence of someone’s life
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
My fingers dance from the beat of my heart
As my soul feels the passion as I write
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Watch me disappear into the fog

Want to find me?

Look for my heart glowing so bright

While I dance to the

Music of nature

Under the waterfall of

Endless possibilities

That will never

Run dry
Trying to fade away but I keep dancing so I never fully disappear

To dance upon the stars in the dark lite sky with only the moonlight to shine, casting a shadow of angels nearby...
Ashly Kocher Jun 2021
The shadows of the night
Dance beautifully by your side
Guiding you forthcoming into the morning sunrise
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
If I could lasso the moon
Pull it closer for you
We would dance through the night
No fear in sight
Leaving our footprints high above
Making a heart to show our love
Floating away like a pure white dove
Dancing through the stars  
Baby, the whole galaxy is ours..

A cold
Dark
Dreary
Day
Makes for rain
Along the way
Some scattered snow
Freezing rain
Fog filled skies
Trapped tight
Like a ball and chain
Will this weather ever give way
Allowing the sun and warmth
Coming soon one day
Raw and chilly
Cold and dark
Summer where are you
Get lost winter, I am done!
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
The fog is dense
The sky is crying
Little droplets of sadness
So dark and dreary

Find the light
Through the darkness

As I hear singing in the distance
I look up and see a cardinal
Singing sweet music to me
I found my light through the fog
And the darkness....
Even through darkness there’s always a light that will shine through when you need it the most.

Finding the light
Through the darkness
Comes from within
Allowing your heart to glow
Following the path of you
Rightfully so
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
You can always see the lies
Through how dark their eyes
Erupting like a volcano
Ready to explode
With crocodile tears
Seeking pity
Cries
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.
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
Can you find light within the darkness?
Open your eyes and open your heart
To the darkness around you
Only to find yourself in the center of the spotlight
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
There’s always darkness but there’s always light, shining dim or bright, when you have your Guardian Angel right by your side...
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
Ashly Kocher Jun 2022
Through the dark
Light carries a sound wave of energy
Sparking tears of invisible emotions
Triggered from iridescent colors
Coming from all different angles of darkness
Illuminating colors of your imagination
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.
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
Dark sky
One twinkling Star
Oh but I wonder
Which angel you are
Looking down upon me
Saying hello
Whoever you are
Know that I miss you so
Ashly Kocher Feb 2021
The stars aligned with the twinkle of hope, then the clouds rolled in the darkness of the sky, where the stars actually didn’t align....

Do
You wanna
See the
Whole world?

Look into my eyes
I daydream
All the time

Rivers deep
Oceans wide
Mountains high
Starry nights
Beautiful sunrise
Precious moments
Breathtaking sights

I’ll show you
The whole world
Within my
Daydreaming eyes
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
Daydreaming
Head in the clouds
Rising with the sun
Sliding down a rainbow
After a sudden down pour of rain
Landing on the beach
Is my happy place
While I sit back and relax
Writing poems for days
My little friends will join me
Seashells, Palm trees and little lizards too
Warmth of the sun from high in the sky
I got my head in clouds
Daydreaming of a good time for once in my life...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
All snuggled in my bed
Open my eyes and turn my head
The clock read 6:30 am
Up and at em they say
Ready to start my day
Failing to realize
That wasn’t the time at all
The clock was wrong from what I saw
Daylight Savings Time is here again
I’m an hour ahead to start my plans
Who thought an hour could mess up tor head
For now I wish I was still snuggled up
Warm in my bed
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
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
It falls onto deaf ears
Only to be the silent killer
Without making a simple sound...

It falls onto deaf ears
Only to be the silent killer

Reposting this from last night. Didn’t get a lot of views and this piece is mysterious and dark. I kinda like it
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
I personally didn’t know you, But so many did
Maybe not on a personal level, your smile was sure off the grid
Your crafty items you sold to many
Unbeknownst to many, it’s how you made a living
You didn’t have a house or a place to call home
But you had your daily tea made with love to give you a go
Unfortunately your life was cut short but that’s ok
God needed a crafty angel to brighten up his way
To heaven you were called to shed light upon the angels
You will never be forgotten to all who came across your joyful spirit
May you Rest In Peace, dear Liz, and let your soul be at peace.
A homeless lady as tragically killed in my home town by accident. She sold craft items to make a living.

Dear mama
When you cry, I wipe away the tears from your eyes
When your sad I hold your heart, give you a hug, showing you my love
Wherever you go, I am there, right beside you, holding your hand
Did you see the feather I left on the ground or the Angel clouds in the sky? You know that was me because I’m always around.
Dear mama
I loved you from the beginning, I loved you when I left, I love you always til I see you again…
I wrote this in the perspective of my baby in Heaven talking to me…
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Galavanting through the day

Rolling our eyes along the way

Walk away to compose yourself

Take a deep breath in and out

At the end of the day

Go home relax and pray

For a better day

Then the one today

For my hardships I have

Are nothing compared to others

At least Im here

To see another day...
Be happy for your still
Here today... days will be rough but you’ll get through it someway
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
Take a deep breath in  
Exhale it out
Release all the worries and doubt
Close my eyes
Center myself
Cleaning all the negative energy out
Think happy thoughts
Dance among the stars
Follow the moonlight path
Your journey will take far
If you dare to dream
Your wishes will come true
Just take a deep breath in
Exhale it out
Watch your life begin to turnaround
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 Nov 2021
Love is deep
Deeper then the ocean floor
Where creatures roam, looking for more
But how much more could you look for
When love is as deep as the ocean floor
Constantly flowing like the blood pumping to your heart
Feeling alive and powerful all from the inside
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
The scars that are the deepest can’t be seen, but can be felt to the hardest extreme...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
I may not be the one to pour my heart out to just anyone
But if you look deep into my eyes, they tell the whole story
My eyes can not lie
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
The deeper the scar
The harder the pain
Remember your strong
Crying is also okay
