A word gains new meaning
Every time it is shared
Until it becomes
A poem unto itself

Speak of the Devil

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Speak of the Devil

I walk by the river
And listen to Saint-Saëns
Speak of the Devil
What a beautiful swan

I walk through the forest
And listen to Clair de Lune
Speak of the Devil
What a beautiful Moon

One Tree

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

One Tree

There is an ocean deep and dark and vast
Upon our sunny island grows one tree
As each new branch emerges from the last
The song of life becomes a symphony

We gaze out longingly across the deep
But there is only so far we can go
What secrets might that dark horizon keep
Our island is the only home we know

We look out on the waves along the shore
Our messengers sail out into the sea
And although we have found islands galore
We still have yet to find another tree

We wonder as we sing into the dark
If we will find an answering chorus
And if beyond the sea when we embark
We will find not one tree but a forest

Mar 2019 · 104

From the Darkness

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

From the Darkness

Though we speak our different words
Though we wage our different wars
We all live on the same world
We all follow the same star

On the surface we are violent
Sound and fury, fife and drum
From the darkness we are silent
From the darkness we are one

Mar 2019 · 194

Forgiveness

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Forgiveness

Trembling
I lift my burned fingertips
Once more to the flame

Mar 2019 · 100

Earth

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Earth

Will our descendants live on Earth
Or will they live in domes on Mars
Or by Europa's icy surf
Or in the dark beyond the stars

We act as if we have no say
We talk as if we have no voice
But we who live on Earth today
We are the ones who make this choice

Be Yourself

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Be Yourself

Be yourself

If you become
Someone else
To get approval
They aren't approving of you
They are approving of
Someone else

But if even one person
Truly accepts you
For who you are

Then when you are with that person
You can be free

You can be yourself

Mar 2019 · 196

Clair de Lune

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Clair de Lune

Graceful
Majestic
Like a swan

Beautiful
Delicate
Like a cherry tree in bloom

Alien
Serene
Like the sea

Where I Am

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Where I Am

Sometimes I wake up
And I forget where I am
It almost doesn't matter anymore
I am always where I am

Mar 2019 · 94

New Idea

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

New Idea

Every time I think
That I've run out of things to say
I see something that makes me
View life a whole new way

Then my mind is full of words
I want to tell you all
About this new idea
Which has so lit up my soul

Mar 2019 · 76

Understands

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Understands

Even if nobody
Understands your words
I am glad that you chose them

Even if nobody
Understands your poems
I am glad that you wrote them

Mirror Moon

Mirror Moon

The full Moon
Is a mirror in which the
Earth can see her soul

3 Tage Regen

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

3 Tage Regen

Filling with hope
Like the spring tomorrow
When the rain
Washes away my sorrow

Peace fills my wings
And the fear disappears
When the rain
Washes away my tears

Evil

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Evil

There are some people
Who really seem evil
But I still love them
Because they are still people

Mar 2019 · 74

Threads

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Threads

Words are like threads
Pulling our heartstrings
And drawing our thoughts
Lifting us higher
Like marionettes

Words are like threads
Twisted and tangled
A Gordian knot
Whole worlds bound up
In what people have said

Words are like threads
Holding up guillotines
Arrows pulled taut
Only a sentence
Until it is read

Words are like threads
Closing the circuits
Connecting the dots
Weaving bright tapestries
Inside our heads

Mar 2019 · 121

Doves

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Doves

Thousand doves
Quiet and serene and still
Suddenly take flight

Mountain

Mountain

My journey is not over
But I have reached the top of the mountain
Where I may sleep one night

Mar 2019 · 103

Joy

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Joy

I almost forgot that feeling
When I felt like I could sing
I felt the starlight in my soul
Was one with everything

And now that I am free again
I am remembering
I move with joy
On this blue world
Who gave me back my wings

Mar 2019 · 264

Forest

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Forest

I found my soul
Hidden in the forest
Right where I left it
The quiet gentle trees
Kept it safe for me

Mar 2019 · 255

Washed Away

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Washed Away

The storm has washed away
And the flowers
Open their trembling hearts
To the Sun

Mar 2019 · 298

Virtue

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Virtue

There may be someone who is hard and cruel
But their one virtue is a brilliant mind
And also there may be a total fool
Whose only virtue is that they are kind

There may be somebody who lacks mercy
Their virtue is that they have won a war
And someone wrapped up in controversy
Whose virtue is that they know who they are

Our history is full of crooks and churls
Who did the only great deed that they could
You may have just one thing to give the world
You only need one virtue to be good

Mar 2019 · 148

Hidden River

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Hidden River

Soft sunlight sweetens the fruit
Stirs the leaves and makes them shiver
Million little reaching roots
Slowly seek the hidden river

Mar 2019 · 122

Tolerance

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Tolerance

For some people
Tolerance is a mask
But you can still see the fear
In their eyes

Mar 2019 · 97

Guardian

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Guardian

Every time I trip and fall
Or do a really stupid thing
Over my shoulder I can feel
The shadow of the angel's wing

Mar 2019 · 189

Teeth

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Teeth

I will not sharpen my teeth
To blend in with wolves
Because once in a blue Moon
I bite my own tongue

Mar 2019 · 212

Amity

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Amity

Good to have might, good to be bright
But being nice is better yet
For to be nice is always right
A thing you never shall regret

And it is wise to share your heart
To tell the truth, to speak your mind
Be humble, be honest, be smart,
Be brave, but most of all
Be kind

Mar 2019 · 98

Kaleidoscope

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Kaleidoscope

Poetry
Fills the empty places
In your soul
Takes the mirror
That you broke
And turns it into a
Kaleidoscope

Mar 2019 · 105

Crown

The Queen of trees
Wears a crown of flowers
Lush and soft and sensuous
Cradling the Moon pale and full
Against the deep black sky

Shining different colors bright
Cast the same shadow

It was a dream

Make heaven
Real

Hidden Within

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Hidden Within

words have feelings hidden within
they can crash and clang like cymbals
glitter and twinkle like crystals
tingle and prickle like thistles
whisper and hiss like the wind

Mar 2019 · 128

The Long Night

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

The Long Night

There once were dragons
A flaming sword
Fell from the sky

There once were dragons
They fell to the cold
The long night

There once were dragons
And to this day
Their children fly

Recognized
Beneath their feathers

Nevermore

Red Rainbow

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

I saw a rainbow
Just before sunset
So high
If it were whole
It would have crossed the sky
It was green
Yellow and orange
Red
Red and red

                 everywhere we look

more and more

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

more and more

the more you steal
                                           the more you have to guard
the more you give
                                           the greater the reward
the more you doubt
                                           the more you have to prove
the more you gain
                                           the more you have to lose

Shine a Light

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Shine a Light

Shine a light
Don't let the darkness
Fill your heart with fear

Through the dark
A candle flame
May shine a million years

Shine a light
And you do not know
What you will inspire

One day
A single candle may
Light the whole world on fire

Cygnus

Ciel Noir Mar 2019

Cygnus

there are poems
I do not share
with the world
many of them
are songs

I do not sing them
for anyone
I hold them in my heart
like a swan

you
can                  go

around                              it

about                        three

times                  as
fast

How peaceful the sea was
Until I sailed
Through a storm
And found myself once more
On clear water
