I melt
When you look at me

When you touch me

When you embrace me

I melt
When you kiss me

I melt
When you say you love me

I melt
When your near me

I melt
I mel
I me

I am now in a puddle of love
Ashly Kocher Feb 2021
Wipe away others tears first before my eyes cry silent tears that I try to hide and disguise so everyone thinks I’m fine....
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
I’m fine
But deep
Down inside
I’m hurting
Breaking
Into pieces
Like an
Unsolved puzzle
Trying to find
The missing
Piece or pieces
But
I’m fine
On the outside
Anyone else feel like this?
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
I close my eyes
What do I see
I see your face
Staring back at me
No words to speak
Just looks of joy
Boy I miss you
Your laugh
Your jokes
Your grin
So much more
Thanks for visiting
It means a lot
Knowing your ok
At your final
Resting spot
You reached your hand
Out to touch mine
As you faded away
Those precious moments
We’re so divine
As I write this you came again
A singing cardinal sits above my head
Thanks for the signs you’ve been sending my way
It definitely put a smile onto my face...
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
It’s been a little over 24 hours since you were last here with us....
I miss your meow
I miss your cuddles
I miss you stealing my hair ties
I miss you eating plastic
I miss your pain in the **** (sometimes)
I miss you stealing chips at dinner
I miss your face
I miss your cheetah belly
I miss YOU

BINX, I hope your having a ball in heaven with your son snickers, with pops and pop pop, and all the other animals that have gone to soon...
            Love you buddy....
Heartbroken
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Are you ok?
I’m ok

Are you alright?
I’m alright

Are you fine?
I’m fine

Do you need a hug?
I need a hug

Do you need a friend?
I’ll be your friend

I am here
I’m ok
I’m alright
I’m fine
I need a hug
I need a friend
I am tired...

We all have secrets
We all have skeletons
We all have things we don’t want to admit
We all make mistakes
We all make promises
We all make break promises
We all are human
Humans have

Humans make
Mistakes
Promises
Humans learns from them
Grow from them
Live from them
We are all

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 Jan 2019
Our imperfections, are what make us perfect....
(Im)perfect
Embrace your differences, your uniqueness or so called weirdness
That’s what makes you, well YOU
Say it with me....
(Im)perfect
(Im)Perfect
I’m perfect with my imperfections that make me practically perfect in every way
Head to toe
I’m proud to say
(I’M PERFECT)

What if....
The world moved slower,
Everyone was happier,
Nobody was poor,
Everyone was healthy,
Crime didn't exist,
Devastation never happened,
Everyone loved each other,
Hate was not a word,
We all were equal....
This perfect world we live in is actually imperfect...
If you look through the eyes of others, this imperfect world is the world we have all created....
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Nothing is impossible
Because (IM)possible
Even if that dream is possibly impossible
Always believe
                 (IM)possible
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Reaching for what you think is
the impossible dream
Only to find out that your dreams are never impossible...

Saying
“I’m sorry”
Isn’t a sign of weakness, but strength  

It shows that your human and you have feelings.
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
I’m sorry I can’t be
The woman you always dreamed of

I’m sorry
I can’t make you a father, me a mother
I’m sorry I can’t bare children
I’m sorry I can’t make us a family

I carry this guilt everyday
It kills me on the inside in every way

I want nothing more then to start a family with you
Almost 8 years married but yet
It still hasn’t come true

I try and stay positive and hope for the best
But wanting something so much
( never getting it )

Is life hardest test (in life)
Still, after 8 years, can’t make the announcement “we’re expecting “ and most likely never will. It’s harf to talk about, we don’t know why, but it helps me cope with the fact of it not happening.
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
But saying
“I’m sorry “
Just to reconcile
Not actually meaning it
Continuing to do the same thing
Really shows a lot about your character
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
I’m in a funk
I don’t know why
I just want to break down and cry
For what reason is unknown
Maybe it’s the weather being so cold
I don’t like the change in season
Temperature is falling, I don’t feel like a human being
Crawl under a rock and hibernate
Gather my thoughts and keep telling myself
                   I
                      AM
                          GREAT...

A little out of focus
Helps you focus in
The blurriness of the big picture
Is where the journey and dreams begin to focus in
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
In this lifetime
We will give a little, get a lot
We will give a little, take a lot
We will make mistakes, learn a lot
We will fail, yet grow in the process

In this lifetime
We will
Live
Love
Learn
Grow
Succeed

In this lifetime....

The moon
The sun
The stars
The sky
We all see the same ones
Just in different times
As some are sleeping
Others are waking
From around the world
Keep on praying

Still holding on to something I never knew I had yet still blaming myself for letting it slip away...
On my birthday ( June 11) it will be one month since I had my miscarriage. Still holding onto the disappointment of not knowing I was pregnant and losing the baby.

It’s not even something you even dreamed would happen to you...

Have the “honeymoon “ faze

It most likely will never

Guess I'm not blessed to carry a child
Been trying for so long but still end up in sorrow
I will never know what it means to be a mother
Or feel the joy of another
Another one like me and you
It always ends in sadness and makes me blue
Not be able to carry you
Is not what it means but I wish one day I could be blessed to hold you...
Ashly Kocher May 2019
How many hero's/heroines
sacrificed and left too die
all the pain and suffering
who and what can qualify?

Stumbling over the distractions ahead
Craving for more, salivating to be fed
Improper desire for lust and love
Just as free as a flying white dove

We'll move past the bodies
abdications, cedes, and waives
saving, craving, all sensations
just trying to be
brave

But for not to be seen
Covered in red
From the human remains
The lost
The hero’s
The blood
Of the dead

Things that were
and were not
said

Still hearing the silent screams
The nightmares, the sweats
The constant reminder
The flashbacks


No way to forget, it seems
the scars the blood, and everything
like cracks and the unsealed seams
reality of, Avenger teams
Collaboration done with Temporal Fugue. Pleasure collaborating with you my friend

A ink blot test I wasn’t expecting  to see
But to my surprise, what I saw was a little angel staring back at me...

It’s you

It’s me


Nobody else


Just us

The inner child in me
Is waiting to be released
Awakened from a dormant state
Awaiting to take the leap of faith
Sleeping slumber
Arising so fast
Welcoming me
From the
Past

I’m stronger than you think...
Even if I hide my emotions out in the open like a crystal ball if you look hard enough you can see right through imagining the swirling images of my brainwaves collecting my most inner thoughts and hiding them in plain sight...

I live vicariously
     Through the eyes
             Of a child’s
                   Innocence

Only finding
     The good
        In the human race...
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Never knew my innocence of writing as a child
Could grow into such an addiction but even more so
Therapy for myself and others around the world
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
To be as innocent as a child
Seeing through their eyes and not seeing the world as “wild”
Being happy as ever, giggling away
No worries in sight
Just having fun and play
To be as innocent as a child....

In real life....
There is no hatred
There is no violence
There is no judgment
There is no anger
There is no loneliness
                          Love is love
Then I blink my eyes
Refocused the blurriness
But somehow this is
                       REAL LIFE....

Full of
   Hatred
      Violence
        Judgment
             Anger
                Loneliness.......
                Welcome to our world full of all these crazy acts called the real life....

Sometimes our insides
Don’t match the outside
Sometimes the outside
Doesn’t match the inside

You never know what someone is going through
Physically
Emotionally
Or
Mentally

Read the entirety of the book first
Before judging just what you see from the cover

Take me to the gates
Even just for a day
To take a look
Inside of your Heaven
So I know that your ok...

The storm clouds roll in
The rain begins again
The storm is coming
But be not afraid of the storm
Because after the storm
A change is brewing
Allowing for the light to shine bright
Letting the vibrant colors of the rainbow be near in sight

It’s all about perspective and perception and finding inspiration through darkness
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
Fear is purpose
Purpose is trust
Trust is hope
Hope is faith

If you fall it doesn’t mean you failed it means you become stronger, you will prevail
Ashly Kocher Aug 2021
Don’t follow, be the leader
Don’t complain, make a change
Don’t be cocky, confidence is beautiful
Don’t be overbearing, be humble
Don’t change, stay you
Don’t fall, be strong…
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
I will rise
I will crash
Like the ocean waves
Coming in fast
I will never give up
I will always be strong
There’s no right answer
It’s ok to be wrong
Staying humble
But most importantly
Staying ME
Loving life
Learning and growing everyday
This is my journey
Inspirational takeaway...
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
We all hide behind our computer screens or phone screens
But yet we come here everyday
Hoping to see a fantastic write by someone we really don’t know
Or do we know them by reading their work?

To truly understand and get to know a writer (without ever meeting)

Read their work
Understand their life
Get on a personal level with them

I, personally, hope I can inspire at least one person through my writings
As others who write do for me

For then, I have done something to help guide another or get through a problem or make them feel happy and good about themselves

For that reason
                          I write....
                              To inspire...
(Even if I don’t feel I’m fantastic at writing)
I hope I can inspire someone through my writings. Even though we don’t personally know each other physically I know all of you through your writings.
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
When you connect with someone
Who you have never met
Face to face
But an instant connection takes place
Two beautiful souls
Miles apart
Yet the magnetic force
Link together our hearts
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Internal feelings we don’t want to face
Filled like cobwebs in a dark cool place
Stores up like memory on a computer hard drive
Taking up such massive wasted space...

Delete the storage into the trash
Let it all go, don’t bring it up and rehash

Face your feelings but don’t hold back
Take a journey on a different track
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Am I yours
Are you mine
Sometimes distance
But hearts intertwined
Lost in time
Press rewind
Hit pause
Stop back in time
When we first kissed
Became as one
Talked for hours
Under the rising sun
Am I yours
Are you mine
Giving no distance
Because are hearts will always be
Intertwined
I am yours and you are mine
Growing old together
Until the end of time
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
What’s yours is mine
What’s mine is yours
The love in our hearts
Are always intertwined
That will connect us for all time
Ashly Kocher Jun 2020
We are all intertwined like a thick rope knot yet some of our strings fray away on different paths along the way but still being connecting at the rope knot carrying the love in our hearts, knowing where we all began at the start....
Ashly Kocher Apr 2020
We are all intertwined like a beautiful growing vine that makes an impeccable glass of wine leaving us all feeling Devine...
