Truth
Smothered Divine Aug 2020
Our minds are so morbidly scary
In bouts of silence and dark
That we can imagine death, destruction, blood, A SPARK.

Knives cutting holes in our paper-thin skin,
Kids throwing rocks till their brains turn pulpy,
Bridges rocking and creaking, skin hitting ice,
Smashing our souls on concrete..

It cures a hidden desire, worse than lust or need or want.

And on that note:
The world is turning
And with it, morbid minds.

Call me back
Smothered Divine Jun 2020
☞☎
It's quite easy
To pick up
The phone...
Please?
Smothered Divine Feb 2021
Pumping kids full of saccharine,
Sweet and polite.
Stifling opinions;
Momma's always right.

Filling teens up with adrenaline.
Inhaling their orciprenaline,
Taking their societal medicine.
Routines to keep them aligned.

I've got a little inkling
In my lower gut
Telling me society is curling
whirling, twirling and swirling-


All these kids from the same politically relevant muck.

Mental Bliss
Smothered Divine Jan 2021
Unflawed minds seek a destiny no other mind can dream to crave for,
Understand things no other mind would bother learning.
These unflawed minds know no boundaries,
And by that law they are suppressed.

Suppressed minds dare to dream!
But perhaps that is why so many dreams are lost with age..?

I do see you
Smothered Divine Jan 2021
I don't expect you to understand
why I stain my sheets with scarlet drops
Or why I melt at the slightest touch-
liquid mercury mindset,
A heart with the glowing lights of xenon.

I don't want you to understand
why my veins burn like crushed up stardust-
milkyway IV drip..

I just want you to see that I feel it ALL-
And I cannot understand a second of it,
nothing I do is within reason anymore.

I just want you to see me
like I see you.
Inspired by Jackson, a very gorgeous poet with silk and lace words that curve at my spine, holding my soul taunt and ready for more.

Pastel Poem Challenge
Smothered Divine Nov 2019
Everytime I touch someone, my hand turns into a gun.
Bang Bang, you can hear it now my love,
Bang Bang, Just for fun.
Silence, although the starlight slow dances.
I wish I could get you to see
Our confinement is a constelation
Hiding in the trees.
I call a truce, Let's end as friends.
It’s you and me until the end.
The night’s at it’s hilt and the sun’s rising against it,
We’ll fall asleep just for the heck of it.

My friend
Smothered Divine Feb 2020
Dina ögon påminner mig om galaxen, färgglad och djup.
Ditt leende är solskenet, eftersom det lyser genom gott och dåligt.
Och ditt hjärta ... Åh, hur det sprider sig.
Hjärtans vänlighet slår som pinnar på en ståltrumma, vibrerar och slår mot alla som hör det med känslor. Du är en krusning i tiden men din mening går klart igenom minnen från alla andra. Du är min vän och du är min gåva. Det här är min gåva till dig.
Jag är glad att vi träffades. Jag hoppas att din krusning gör att du gör något omöjligt.

Much to give
Smothered Divine Dec 2019
I wake up tired. Stinging, aching, burning, Sore-
good morning, ceiling
of drywall sky.
I wish I could curl up, warm, tight, soft, light-
goodbye, life.
I'm ready to die.

"Not yet, you have stuff to do today"

He chants in whispy grounded words.
Wordy biting, chilling curse:
Imaginary friend of mine, a lifeline all the same.
Whisper what you want from me, don't leave! I'm not a game.

He played me yet again, I see.
I'm as alive as any gal can be.
I went through days waiting for him,
but he only comes when the sky is drywall.
When my world is aching, quaking, shaking- Melting at the touch.
He only comes when I need a hero,
SuperStagnant, comin' in for the clutch.
I hate you.
Yet I need you.
We saved me,
Now I'll leave you.

Lavender Boy
Smothered Divine May 2023
He walks with grace like butterfly wings flutter
A scent like lavender,
Skin like butter.
His soft spoken voice, a calming sound
Akin to honey, bees flying around.

But he carries a sadness
Deep in his eyes
A sorrow that dares not see the sunrise
Perhaps a lost love, or an action filled with regret.
The weight of the knowledge has him affixed to his bed.

The townsfolk wonder,
who could he be?
A man of few words, a mystery.
But everyone knows, him by his scent
The fragrance of lavender,
undertones of torment.

One day he vanished..
without a trace.
No one knew where he went,
no one bothered to chase.
His fragrance lingered in the air
A sweet reminder
Of a man so rare

It was later revealed,
he took his life.
The sadness too great,
Emotions a strife.
But his lavender garden, a final farewell
From a man who suffered an untold hell.

The townsfolk mourned
The loss of a friend
The scent of lavender,
A bittersweet end.

The lavender man can now finally rest,
He didn't do great, but he tried his best.

Water
Smothered Divine Mar 2021
Soft warm waves rocking slowly against my calfs.
Soothing my pale and cracked lips, sweet and cool.
And where were you when I offered off sips
Of this magical liquid-
Where were you?
Were you sleeping in your bed
or
Were you resting in her head?
Does it matter?
I suppose not.

Harsh, icy waves stabbing my thighs. Neck. Head.
Choking my lungs, salting my lips, pulling me lower and lower still.
And where were you?
No chance to pull you down with me,
But you do what you gotta do-
Lips blue, eyes red.

You did, you left me for dead.
Where were you?

What is Heaven?
Smothered Divine Feb 2023
If this is Earth, what is Heaven?

May space and time come upon us,
Give me guidance in times of need.
Experience shaping sight,
I beg for forgiveness
you once promised me an eternity
for as the hour draws near
I see my ending

A scarred heart
A scared mind
What is Heaven if not our finite time on Earth?
A question I find myself wondering often.

Tears
Smothered Divine Mar 2023

Sorrow-filled moans.
They stay aching in my chest.

Begging me to shed tears over you.

Our Own
Smothered Divine Feb 2020
Light blue hues surrounding 
bright white stars
like yourself.
Pitch black shadows darkening the walls around
our planets-Pink, yellow, green and purple planets are our salvation
in a world in which we cannot be accepted.
Socially acceptable grays try to expand into our world
but-when we close the door
and the darkness overpowers the grey...
When-
Our hands create a dream, not unlike a package of skittles,
our world fills with planets
and dreams-hopes of
MAUVE
but praying for taffy, rose, fuchsia and periwinkle accents to match.
And guess what?
Everything will be alright
in this world of
cooled down
and chilled off colors.
Swirl me, Angel guide!
Blackhole-Esque emotion...
******* me in.
This galaxy is such a heaven
when you hold my cold, cold hands.
Copyrighted for 50 years past my death
And I'm not dead yet.
Don't Repost. Don't duplicate. DON'T SEND TO OTHERS OR COPY.

Coffee colored crayons next to creamy colored mugs
Coffee shop delights and simple demonic insights.
I inquire on them both:
How dare the simple innocence of a child sipping cocoa
Disrupt emotions vividly to lead into insanity..-
Simplicity.
Eventually we all crack-don’t you see?
Cocoa turns to ash,
And child into druggie trash
Don’t you see? We all Crack; Crash; Smash and Bash-
Our sanity is fragile like glass
And it’s mallet is simply time.
Don’t you see?? It’s simply-
Simplicity
We all Crack; Crash; Burn.
The blood inside our hearts-
Now our veins,
Now our arms.
The blood inside our hearts moves until a force stops it.
Taking pill to mouth, finger to bottle, pill to mouth. Again. Again.
Stop it- The insight into the truth is getting harder and harder to swallow.
Now take a walk down the block of gravel and rock
The clock ticks down your time.
You aspire to be no more, I see-
Well, others aspire to see.
To speak.
To even breathe again.
Your freedom is hitting the end of it’s road;
Mallet of time cracks the clock-
You fall.
People mourn a death, the break in time.
But little do they hear their own TICK.
We ALL Crack; Crash and Burn.
-----------------------------------------------------------­---------------Another one!
Dedicated to Cat. I’ll find you again, friend. I promise.
Thank you.

Return
Smothered Divine Sep 2021
Overgrown and uprooted, replanted and shocked.
Wilted and winded, ripped and picked.

So I left and I learned and I lived, laughed and grew.
Blended learning over grass stained blue jeans
And splattered paint on my Nikes.

Cut my hair and dyed my skin, pierced my lips and ripped my skirts.
Chrysalis, born but not aged;
Broken but not bathed in it.

And Yet!
I have moved foreword in life.
I’ve moved and I feel reborn.

Whispers and Prayers
Smothered Divine Jun 2020
My world is whispering
PRAYERS
For every lost soul
I could not
TOUCH,
Because I was
SO
Lost myself.
Smothered Divine Feb 2021
The tree bursts from its seed, grasping for the warm glow of light shimmering just above the brown waves of soil holding it down.

It reaches higher still towards the canopy of flame-coloured leaves that ignited just months after it's first release from Earth.

The tree's roots dig deep underground, bracing the tree for the cold and harsh flurries of white gold that will soon frost every surface visible to the bright blue sky above.

Frozen in time, dormant in this pale wonderland, it waits.

It's first leaves come and go as the harsh winds and flooding rains of spring fall- The weight growing, growing-
Vanishing.

The heat causes all flooding and weight to fall away, leaving the small tree to burst with blooms of lime, forest, and celery green.

And it now holds personality,
Able to finally build a life and home in it's branches.
<SUMMER>
The winds brush against her bark, a blue bird borrows in her arms, for they are a welcoming home for her babes, a squirrel stores his acorns beside her
thickening roots, and she ages another year.

The leaves shiver and shake as the brown tire swing rocks under the weight of me.
Quoting lyrics from my favorite bands and reading passages from my favorite books, I feel my soul age another year.


The cycle begins again...
With changes.

Fall includes hot cider and light reading under her flaming colors.
I build her an army of snowmen to keep her company as we nap through winter.
In spring I plant some flowers nearby, and they admire your ancient bark.
And in the summer we start again, my days spend singing and reading to you.



And then I was gone and you continued to flourish,
Year after year and season after season.
Smothered Divine Mar 2021
The summer he expired was the summer she thought hard
About the Autumn breezes in his hair,
And the Springtime words she locked away.
The winter was cold, yet side by side they flourished.
Pokemon cards and stolen kisses on cheeks.
Tree forts and dance battles.
Makeup and gowns.
Homework and swimming pools-
The life he left behind.

As she thought, she held her face taunt.
Her thoughts escaping through her cracked skin facade.
I asked her today, a year after passing, "do you miss is smile, his laugh, his presence? Does the loss hold grief in it's grip?"

She glanced away then held my gaze, and suddenly I knew the world had churned on.

You're a dead man
Smothered Divine Oct 2019
Inhaling clouds to excuse your lies;
High erupts in a fog of shattered and false hopes but only I,
and I am lonely as a drop of rain before the connect,
can hope to revive a high of shattered happiness.
Drop, cut, swoop down from your
pedestal of Narc and join society
before your shattered high of lies destroy your face and cut down your faith.
Join me before you bleed all your blood and fall(DOWN); In a heap you’ll lay.
Decay.
You’re destined to decay.

"hello"
Smothered Divine Jan 2021
Stage one is just “hello.”


A relationship has many steps;
Like the staircase to hell, those steps are complicated.
Hello introduces the the idea of fear, love, hate, laughs.
Greetings are the sticks and paper to a crackling bonfire.
No going back on crackle snap pop rocks sending love to intermediate joker cards.
Boy am I a wild card, I’ll play you like a game of cards.
But only at stage 3.
Stage one is just hello.

Step 2 is the Talk Stage.
Speaking is hard sometimes.
Talking can be a metaphor, like roses blooming in moonlight...
Or rain water sinking into the soil.
Step 2 is better described, though, as
setting tones of color into your outline.
Learning to play but there's no instructions,
Mapping our minds and beliefs.

Stage 3 is when I burn us alive,
Bonfire friendship roasting our skin, crackly giggles and pinky-red smirks.
But we’re only at stage one, baby.
No screaming, shouting, reaching for our hearts...

Stage one is just hello.

The Release
Smothered Divine Jan 2021
Caught like silk in rose thorn agony,
I pull my arm free of your chains.
Streams of diluted delusions flow from behind my eyes
As they stare into yours, searching, pleading for answers.

Your newest **** waltzes out of my room,
Bare legs and arms like fresh globs of cream,
A quivering voice of lavender.
"Darling?"
You consume her with your eyes,
What we were long forgotten.

Having my answers, I take my leave.
Shedding layers of bandages and spackle,
I let myself feel how you've hurt me.

Was she worth it?
I don't wanna know.

Rushing downhill around thin, swirling roads-
I close my eyes and exhale everything you've done.
The Release.
My chevy smashes through the guardrail,
My skull takes a jolt to the wheel,
-
And I fly into the abyss,
Free as a bird.

Heart aching pull, vibrant as white splotches on the sky.
Blood slowly pools, vitality dripping like wine.
The tree where thine life prevails when mörkret har förbrukat dig.
But you aren't a tree-
You couldn't care less.
You're bleeding out the pain, focusing only on the shade.
Not quite crimson, not quite happy.
Light falls dimly on your cavity:
Brain cells begone.

Takin' names in L/A
Smothered Divine Dec 2020
In the Process:
Retouching the paint
Of a friendship and
A love,
Once forgotten
But now found.

During that, don't you know!
Something old, Whithered, burnt...
Is now
Found.
Someone old
Brings back a someone even older.
Someone corrupt.
Someone who is cracking me without a word spoken.

I look away, thoughts racing in my skull.
(Indie 100 track!
Vroom,
Speed of sound.
121 gigawatts power this
THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMPing
Heart of mine.

His real and true first lie
Was an L.

So much care-
In a phase of phantom ghosts
Scraping the insides of this skull.

So much thought-
No sleep Sundays,
Running miles into the night.
Glancing onto Monday morning,
Chug some life into my soul
and
Hop on the bus.

So much energy-
Calling me at knifepoint,
200 pills to count
On the cusp of the gorgeous linoleum mattress-
Head cradling cell,
Musical sobs begging me
NOT TO,
Blood seeping into white dishtowels,
and pills...
Down my throat.

Then I hop on the bus.

A was the second lie, fine as silk.
**** my emotions.
I'm done.
Memories are blending into his face.

My whole life is racked with sobs.

That broke me;
A honeycomb humility.

Those words you said, simple but-

I almost left this Earth.

You shrugged it off.

And nowadays I understand.

But dude, I still can't take a pill
Without my brain
Shrinking that tube in my throat-

PTSD:
Throwing knives at walls,
Remembering.

Magic of Insomnia
Smothered Divine Dec 2019
Melted moonlight fills my glass
Foggy nights fill my throat like star gas-
Choke me, make me forget my name.
Drown me, make me forget I'm not okay.
The rain soaks through to my bones.
Heavy, throw some-
broken stones.
Crack my skull, clear my thoughts-
I’m not okay,
I’m swallowing rocks.
Eyes change tones,
Goldish blueish greenish pink
Neon bolded and highlighted winks-
A simple secret’s blood spills onto the screen:
We watch the art: Our hearts, on guard, unseen.

The light streaming through the crystal clear glass doors-
warming our skin, igniting our giggles.
But we did not freeze in time.
We were engraved in my memory to remember.
33 months since I last held you close.
147 weeks since your smile held me captive.
1032 days, 24,756 hours
and 1,485,414 minutes
Since that moment where time was still infinite.
Tomorrow was still tomorrow,

-Got Them Retro Feels-
Smothered Divine Apr 2020
Dimmed lights, yellow aura.
The gentle rhythm of a Paul Anka classic
ROCKING
The baby-fragile atmosphere into a warm
Mood.

Fresh baked cookies
With a glass of whiskey
And a joint to knot it off.
Legs, smooth and airy, resting on her lap.
Head against the cushiony pillow of a
Couch armrest.
TV blarin', bop-bopping your head to your own beat.

A breeze sways through the room, swiping my hair lightly.
Everything is so perfect, it's almost comedic.

I rest my arms on my chest, dizzy on life.
Focused on the future.
And sidewalks.
And watercolor yellow on the pink road.
And black letters- signed forgeries.
And your warmth, ****** heat wafting through us.

Your long, gold waves wiggle as you laugh at my expression.
Jeans taunt and creased, sweater far gone, only you
In your graphic T.


Our hands extend, meet, and we hold tight.
I know,
No matter what they say...
You, my lovely Kylee, are my soul.
Maybe not my soulmate, but my soul.
My every and all.

We'll laugh until our ribs crack, smile until our cheeks bruise, and
Stay up so long the sky looks like the scent of Fuschia.

Because the ecstasy of our happiness reigned.
Because I love you.

-Because-
Not my girlfriend or crush- fair disclaimer.
My best freaking gal, forever.

Far in the farthest land
Where grass handshakes the sea
A sea turtle, in an Odyssey
Searching for The Golden Sand

Diving in the crystal blue
To the darkest blue, in the depth
Swimming back up, and she wept
Pearly bubbles and greyish hue

A bubble burst brought the savant
Kaleidoscopic unicorn, from beyond the clouds
Neighing speak was his words
"Neighhhhhhhhh sea-turtle infant?"

The turtle understood he meant what's the matter
Explained her need for The Golden Sand
In there, her broken soul will be mend
The Unicorn tapped on the water

The sea Turtle watched and wondered
Are his hooves magical
Will he start neighing philosophical
Nothing happened she muttered

I can't swim you fool
But in The Golden sand or blue sea
I am here with You, and You are here with me
******, this is not a pool

The sea turtle skipped a beat in her shell
Because no matter how small you did
You made someone's day gilded
Tap the water, promise me you will.

I am! -a generic poem
Smothered Divine Jan 2021
I am saccharine kisses before lullaby led naps.
I wonder if you know your name yet.
I hear you giggling and cooing from your crib.
I see you've grown quite a bit.
I want you to stay small forever, my dear, I want you to stay small.
I am swifty cheek kisses before waving goodbye.
I pretend to want you gone from my nest
I feel like I've bitten a lemon.
I touch your shoulder before tucking you in
I worry Until she's gone, a shadow remains.
I cry over a loss soon to come...
I am apathetic side hugs before taking my leave.
I understand you're growing old and you're ready to flee.
I say I miss when you giggled and cooed,
I dream of your small little toes, 1 2 3.
I try to be happy that you're growing old like me.
I hope you know what I mean.
I am saccharine kisses before lullaby led naps,
But my kisses are frail and you’ll remember it as my last.

--------------------------------------------
Your eyes remind me of the galaxy, colorful and deep.
Your smile is the sunshine, because it shines through good and bad.
And your heart ... Oh, how it's spreading.
The kindness of your heart strikes like sticks on a steel drum,
vibrates and hits every person who hears it with emotion.
You are a ripple in time but your meaning clearly goes
through the memories of everyone else. You are my friend and you are my gift. This is my gift to you.
I'm glad we met. I hope your ripple makes you do something impossible.

why is my body the only feature that pulls him in
yet his very presence makes me float and I require no more
Smothered Divine May 2020
1.
He believes he can have my
Heart and Soul
And cradle them in between his soft fingers.
He asks to let him teach me
how to hold my
Heart and Soul
On my own.
He believes we can handle the
Flames and Mayhem
That come with loving me.

2.
Insomnia is a lonely battle,
reading texts again and again like
Scripture.
Bowing my head, whispering in a demurral tone,
Praying for silence to take the reigns.
But He pings my cell...
He calls and we talk until the sun slivers through.
We chitter till I can no longer hold myself
And I fall asleep.

3.
Isolation.
It's a virtue that all must gain at some point
In their gap of existence.
Isolation creates patience.

But my legs tap-tap-tapping in this
Isolated quarantine
Pull my body into a pace;
My chest is an empty cavern
and it bumps and thumps like a race between ravens.
They soar and swoop and rock my body back
and forth.
They Flutter-Flutter-CATCH their prey.

Anxiety no longer at bay.
Tears... A bitter cliche.

And then you hold me- not a touch.
A word in our world that shines like the day.
The sun of your smile, the pool of your eyes,
The fall leaves in piles, our laughter to the skies.

4 (And Final).
Two wrongs can't make a right,
So why is our damage such a delight?
My panics, manics, freakouts.
Your lockdown, shut down, hideaway-
Let's build our souls, day by day.
One after another and maybe we'll stay
Just as it is, nothing else could say-
He said that she said that we said that they said
We'll lose it, so we laugh it away.

And now, as they say, somewhere far... FAR away, Au revoir ma chérie.
---------------------------------
I love you. And even if we break up, Michael,
you know that I'll always hold a place for you inside my soul.
Thank you for your honesty, your loyalty,
and your help when I hit rock bottom.
You're amazing and now the world knows<3

live (a short poem)
Smothered Divine Oct 2019
Once, we were told to live our lives. In childhood likely; I wouldn't know as I was busy living mine.

Birthday
Smothered Divine Sep 2020
A rose, everblooming.
Petals swelling around their base.
Bounded by a timeline,
We sway and I bite down on a kiss.
Busted, bruised, swelling and pink.
My heart pounds itself out, aching, running a mile a minute.
A tear slips through my dry, brick wall features.
Dust in the wind, for I am as alone as I came into this world.

My phone starts to ring, and it's you and only you.
"Happy birthday to you!".
You call me by our name;
A Rose by any other name...
Except with you, I'm a rose in a sea of blue.
Skies as bright as sapphires, clouds as soft as silk.
I make a wish, I blow it out.
My tears dry up; My soul is a drought.
I'm found. I love your voice. It cradles and cares for me,
My leaves shed.

I love you. Remember that, too.
You're my first and my last-

"-Happy birthdayyyy tooooo yoouuuuuu! I love you, Rose."

And I love you, too.
Happy Birthday to me<3
Love you, Ryelee. I'm tired as **** in my classes but I'm beyond happy you called.

Word for Your day
Smothered Divine Feb 2020
Feel...
Exultant.
Although it may be hard,
That's okay.
Happiness will come tomorrow;
Endings will come and go.
Remember what I've told you here: Let your happiness flow.

Be a feather.

Word of the day: Feather.
--------------------------------------------------------­----------------------
Dedicated to Mikey Kania. Happiness seems to always be with you...
Keep it up!
Read the first letter of each sentence. Smile and be okay.

Hopeless
Smothered Divine Jun 2020
I need you to help me breathe
Again.
I sat there choking on the thought of losing
Us,
Yet I let those words come out of your
Mouth.
I miss you.
But I know when I **** up.
So I'll let you go...
But-

Nah Nah Mama
Smothered Divine Mar 2020
Warm milk
Tired eyes
No anxiety
Full tummy
Full comfort
In your arms
Drifting, yes,
Slowly but surely.

Fur
Smothered Divine Jun 2020
Fur
Not a single thing in the world
Can Compare
To when my kittens sleep on me.
Oh, so soft.
Oh, so sweet.
Tip Tip Tappity, tail gone astray.
What are you dreaming, baby?
Why don't you stay?

My hips ache, acting as barriers,
Trying to hold in the pleasure.

The Tease
Smothered Divine Mar 2020
How a serious sickness, well...
(Fickle disease, might I add)
It becomes a wall.
A threat beyond any measure of pain previously.
How a serious sickness
Becomes a tease.
An insult.
How it becomes a type of outfit...
A type of look.
How a serious sickness
Kills 4,627 to date
And STILL...


It has become a taste.
It's a knowing!
A pass into society or a card into
The Azkaban of the school hierarchy.
Lord knows how those 4,627 feel
knowing
  That I... AALIYAH                                                      
Am them.
Not in sickness...










But in health.
See, I was groomed MALLET AND CHISEL
To be ugly, a nerd, scary, stupid, clingy, an animal:
You, my love... You were NOT a tease.

And I am sorry. For them. For you.

R.I.P. all who know; Or did, that is.
Coronavirus tribute from the schools of Western Virginia, if you feel me.

Bullying needs to stop. Please. It's LITERALLY killing me. More on that later.







Love me for me...<3
