World Tree
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
The blossoms fallen from the sky
The world softly snowed under
And deep beneath the silent tide
The dark Earth dreams and wonders

Then from a buried cherry springs
A green and tender stem
Slowly but surely wakening
Once more to bloom again

Formless
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
.      The shape oƒ what we love and fear
                                 Hides s∅meplace we may never go            
                      And all the t☈uths we hold most dear              
                  Are things that we ₥ay never know                                      
                  But in the midd↳e of your mind                                
                    A darkness brightεr than the Sun                                        
                      If you shall ⑀eek then you shall find                
                             The ⑀hadows of the Formless One

Dream
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
If life is a dream,
Then who am I?
Can I be seen?
Do I have eyes?
Can I speak?
Do I ask why?
What strange stars
Light up my sky?

If life is a dream,
Then what is death?
Where do we go?
What comes next?
When I wake
Will I forget?
I'm not ready
To wake up yet

Heaven Knows
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
We all drink
From the same well
Hope or fear
Time will tell
What's in the water?
Heaven knows
This is the way
Our garden grows

We all fall
Into the well
Some fall fast
Some fall slow
Some together
Some on their own
What's in the well?
Heaven knows

Joy

To what heights
Could we fly had we no fear
And with how much joy

Feather
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
A spider
Sailing through the sunny sky
Riding the weather

Floating down
Gently falling to the ground
Terrible feather

Doubt
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Some say
One day
Humanity just appeared

But who put us here
On this warm spinning stone?
Some say
One day
We'll find out we're not alone

But who made the maker?
How and from what?
Some say there was none
Some say one always was

And though we don't know
We can still think about it
Some say
One day
We'll know
I hope so
I doubt it

Yes We Can
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
We were led
By a man
One who said
Yes we can
We would give
Many things
Just to be
'We' again

Moon Over Water
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
what if the
Moon is alive and she
is listening to us on Earth
and is looking up at a blue
crescent that fills her sky
wondering about us
from afar

does she see our city lights
dark against her starry sky

cryptic hieroglyphs
neon constellations

does she know
who we are
who reach
out to
her

Electric Visions
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
Filaments
Fine and thin
The more of them
The thicker the stem
Branching connections
Point back to their source
Laid out in ley lines of force
Everywhere the lines converge
They canonize a demiurge
And so delineate, unfurl
Electric visions
Of their world
Aug 2018 · 149
Oxygen
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
The brilliant Sun above our heads
It lights you up in green and red
Flow with the water, with the air
You are so precious but not rare
In our hearts, in our skies,
In our oceans, in our eyes,
You are the one for which we yearn
But O! How bright your halo burns.

Kitty Kitty
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
Hey little cat, pretty kitty cat
I wonder what it's like for you to think the way you think
When you pounce upon a feather do you think that it's a bird?
Do you understand the weather?
Do you understand our words?

Hey little cat, pretty kitty cat
What do you think you're seeing when you look up at the stars?
Did your mother ever tell you not to stare into the Sun?
Do you wonder where they came from?
Do you wonder what they are?

Hey little cat, pretty kitty cat
I wish that I could understand your crazy point of view
Chasing pretty birdies with a bell around your neck
Did you find out how they know
To fly away from you?

Hey little cat, pretty kitty cat
I guess I'll never really understand your kitty brain
I wonder how you see our crazy daisy little world
I bet you think we're pretty
I bet you think we're insane

Grey waves on the oasis

Up to you

Let it alone

It's alright to be at

Hexagon
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
We have seen a great hexagon
On the sixth planet from our Sun

Silent those frozen razor bright rings sparkle crystalline

They say there are a million moons
They say that it rains diamonds
There is still much more
To know


Than what this world has seen

Electron
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
We are all one shining soul
Made of shining stars
We are all so beautiful
Exactly how we are

The cosmos flowers and unfolds
An ever branching thyrse
Where each electron holds, enfolds
A little Universe

Bloodlust incarnate

Silent vulture waits

Signs and Symbols
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
When we as humans come to see
Something abstract and undefined
We add it to the dictionary
The signs and symbols of the mind

When you see pictures you hear sounds
Signs, symbols reverberating
As if the letters speak aloud
Whose voice are you reading this in?
Jul 2018 · 3.6k
Same
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
A lot of people try to say
That people act so differently
Based on their gender, their birthday,
Their race, their nationality

And every time we think we've changed
We find that it's perennial
Same little boxes rearranged
What's up with these millennials?

We all say "We are not like you!"
They all say "You are not like us!"
This is something that we all do
Predictable, ubiquitous

But one day, we'll be seen as one
There will be no one else to blame
And they will look at what we've done
And say that we are all the same

Ciel Noir Jul 2018
We are the void that crystallized
We are the stars in Earth reborn
Simplicity reorganized
Into complexity reformed

And nothing ever is destroyed

We know that we come from the void
And to the void we shall return

Money
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
I wonder if our money's worth
What we are doing to the Earth
But all that paper painted green
Is a pale spectre of a tree
The ones who gave us
Food and clothing
Shade and shelter
Hands and feet
We cut them, burn them wantonly
And fill the atmosphere with heat
And gas and dust and ash and smoke
Enough to make the creatures choke
There used to be a lot of them
The trees that gave us oxygen
Our tangled shuttles break the loom
Carbon born and carbon doomed
We'll find that trees are what we need
When we find money cannot breathe
Jul 2018 · 244
Lethe
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
If you want to throw it all away
Why not wait for one more day?
One more night before you sleep
Lethe shall run just as deep
Down where that dark river flows
Where the wild nepenthes grow
Wait day by day for that surcease
And welcome it at last in peace
Jul 2018 · 267

If you believe no one wants you to stay alive
I do
I promise
There will always be somebody who
Wants you
To be

Who Walks
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Somewhere there are those
Who walk the stars
As we may walk the Earth
Our many worlds that shine like
Grains of sand
Upon their shore

All spiral round a deep abyss
A mimicry of nothingness
I wonder what may walk
Beyond that veil of nevermore

How sharper than a serpent's tooth
This optical illusion is
And deep beyond the veil
How brighter than a thousand stars

The deepest darkest mystery
The turning point
The sanctuary
Who walks the narrow way?
Is there a door beyond the door?

All-One-Mind
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Anything you wish to find
Find it in the all-one-mind
Fear and anger, love and laughter
Little circuits weave and bind

Everything we have entwined
Echoes in the all-one-mind
Demons swinging from the rafters
All our chimaeras combined

Rising on a feedback loop
Too recursive to recoup
Ever louder, ever dafter
Too far to recall the troops

In the all-one-mind they say
Nothing ever goes away
Here shall live foreverafter
Every web we weave today
Jul 2018 · 187
Light
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
If the Moon were always bright
On the side which faces Earth
It never would cast any light
On the rest of the Universe

But if the Moon should face the Sun
And shine its light back to the void
Then we would only see it when
Its shadow falls upon the world

Unnamed
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Secret, all the world's a secret
All the world's a whisper game
Sometimes I wonder about all the
Things that people never say

The king who murdered for the crown
The queen who drove him to the deed
The rook who speaks no words and only
To the lonely seems to scream

The bishop's shadow of a doubt
The knight's pusillanimity
The little pawn who'd wear that crown
And wreak her vengeance as the queen

Secret, all the world's a secret
All the world's a whisper game
Whence and whither
Hie thee hither
To the king without a name

Journey
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
How she wondered
What they knew
Full of questions
Like a fool

Lady Moon
Lady mirror
Didn't know if
They could hear her

Man of faith
Hand of God
Drew her from the
Chariot

Cold justice like a
Tolling bell
As death came down
For someone else

A lady by the
Starry shore
The dreamy land of
Nevermore

But just as soon
As she'd begun
She stared up once more
At the Sun

Stellar spectre
Fair reward
Chariot
Man of God

Lady Earth
Lady Moon

and the Journey
of the Fool

Uncertainty
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
The more I look around
The more I am persuaded
That uncertainty is
The true meaning of life
