Ciel Noir Jun 2020
How must that first sunflower feel
To look out on that sea of leaves

All slumbering
Asleep in green

And be the only one
The One
Awake to look back at the Sun
Ciel Noir Jun 2020
a will o' the wisp
whispering
and whither whether wind it up
and up and out and on and into
                                                         onto
                                                            ­      unto
on and on
and on and out until it ends
and ends and ends
and on and on
and ebbs
until
the winds whirl up
and up and up and on and on
and hidden in the whirlwind still
an echo like a metronome
will o' the wisp
that whispers on
to wander on and on and on
and somewhere
where the sea is still
she watches the whole world whirl up
to sleep deep in the eye and know

I am the one
who brought the storm
Ciel Noir Jun 2020
a summer song you hummed to me
remembering the melody

I miss you

the wicked way you came to me
I'd best repress the memory

I want you

entangled in causality
and underneath the mystery

I know you

iniquitous soliloquy
and hidden in the litany

I love you
Ciel Noir Jun 2020
choose the one who you will follow
sell your will to them forever
different tunes
but all the pipers
lead us into the same river
Ciel Noir May 2020
I do not belong to you
It is not your choice
You don't get to speak for me
I have my own voice

If I stand up and speak my mind
Do not be surprised
This is not under your control
I get to decide
Ciel Noir May 2020
speak or write or walk or kneel
they will never learn
silence is not made of steel
silence can be burned
Ciel Noir May 2020
sun spider
weaves her pattern on the sky
the world in her web
