Time
Ciel Noir Nov 2021
back in the day
it was okay
to say
one day
but not today

to wait was not
cause for regret
I did not need
to decide yet

it's fine
I still have time
but I am older
every time I blink

what I miss most
about the past
is having time to think

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

Haven
Ciel Noir Aug 2021
just this once
can I not run
from a safe haven
full of hope
into a den of beasts?

why do I look for that?
am I afraid of peace?

Sparkling
Ciel Noir Sep 2019
the face of god
stares through the ruins
souls so dark
the stars shine through them

sparkling
and bringing joy
and light to sugar o'er the void

Vine
Ciel Noir Jul 2019
death is a river
that never stops rising
life is a vine
we can never stop climbing
reaching into the sky
twisted and twined
low over the river
that waters the vine

I Am

Follow Your Heart

If you follow your heart
Wherever it leads you
One day
Along the way
You will meet the other people
Who followed their hearts
To the same place

Like a Friend

Soliloquy
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

Lions and Wolves
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
Compared to other animals
I think that humans are quite strange
Whenever we look at the world
We think about what we can change

We live in snow and build houses
We shave our fur and wear fur coats
We feed our babies formula
And drink the milk of cows and goats

I wonder how our life would be
If there were someone else like us
Who could not live in harmony
And used their tools to alter us

I wonder what we would become
In the hands of the powerful
We who have turned to dogs and cats
The children of lions and wolves

Red
I went to the sea
And I saw
A red bird in a tree

In my mind
I felt
Silent

And still

birds and bees
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
deep in the flower
stationary
in the dark waiting to grow
hidden within the sanctuary
there where only faeries go
seductive as confectionery
sweetest siren silent sings
a message evolutionary
carried far on borrowed
wings

Together
Ciel Noir Apr 2021
I have come untethered
like a feather
in the sky

I cannot stay forever
but wherever
will I fly?

the rivers
come together

where the heavens
meet the sea

at the mercy of the weather
for one moment
I am free

I Am Looking For Answers
Ciel Noir Jan 2022
I read a poem called God Apparition

and it made me think of this question

Have you ever encountered God?

And what can you tell me about that experience?
371 · Jul 2022
Mirror
Ciel Noir Jul 2022
I am just like you are
Or pretend to be
Do you do this too?
Are you just like me?

Repressing ourselves
To impress one another
A regress of mirrors
Reflecting each other

Monster
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
I found a monster in the dark
Deep in my mind, my strangest part
I banished it, it would not go
It sank its teeth into my soul

And then we fought night after night
Until I had no strength to fight
Then for a while it took the reins
All I knew was pleasure and pain

But one bright day we saw the light
Through our two eyes, monster and I
We joined together, strong, allied
No more battles, we both decide

To this day we remain entwined
And now the monster's wings are mine
Now we are one, monster and me
Now I am whole
Now I am free

Uncertainty
Ciel Noir Oct 2021
do I or don't I
yes or no?
maybe it's better not to know
there is freedom in the dark
one look into my soul
could collapse the

A of E
Ciel Noir May 2018
Many say that God is real and loves you
I wonder how many of them believe this is true
Sometimes when people lose their faith they feel blue
Sometimes I wonder whether I should lie too

Maybe I should help other people believe
After all, they'll never know they were deceived
Will they find out there is no Heaven and grieve?
No! They won't find out anything after they leave.

But what if it turns out I'm the one who's wrong?
That God was just hiding, was real all along?
There might be a Heaven, but I won't belong.
I think different thoughts and I sing different songs.

This question's unanswerable but not small
Would I even answer if I heard the call?
Maybe I should say what I believe about God and whether he's real:
Nothing at all

Speak of the Devil
Ciel Noir Mar 2019
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

Chain

fly by night

say the names

The Truth
Ciel Noir Jun 2022
I want to love and be loved too
that's more than I can ask of you

I want you to care about me
and make me your priority

maybe I can't find the words
maybe it's more than I deserve

but all the silence in the world
won't hide my eyes
that tell the truth

To Live
Ciel Noir Jan 2019
It is to dance
On spiderwebs
And never know
When we may fall

It is to wander
Through the night
By hidden light
Where shadows call

It is to wonder
At the sky
To wonder if
We know at all

It is to love
Deep in the dark
And never know
Whose name we call
364 · Jun 2021
Reality
Ciel Noir Jun 2021
all this joy
and all this pain
all the things we think and see
all this hope and
all this love

vibrations and energy

all this madness and confusion
written by some inner hand
we have woven this illusion
all that we can understand

what if we could see beyond
what our perception is concealing?

Earth is moving
time is a dimension
color is a feeling

what if we could move beyond
all the things we think and see?
what would happen to our souls
if we could know
reality?

Isolation
Ciel Noir Jun 2024
my isolation keeps me from
dangerous things
I should not touch
the things that make me feel too much
I can almost feel the pain

my isolation gives to me
a vantage place to watch the storm from
here behind my picture window
I can almost feel the rain

Melody in Monochrome

Ciel Noir Mar 2023
take a chance
take a guess
take over the world
take away people's money
so they can't survive

sometimes you have fire
machetes and knives
sometimes tell the truth
and sometimes you can lie

solve a maze
solve a riddle
remember the code

stay in the middle
stay on the road

sometimes you defend
sometimes you attack
sometimes you live once
and sometimes you come back

go alone
or with friends

make a move
make a plan

make a knight
or a queen
when you get to the end

save the ship
save the girl
save the score
save the world

all the same game
but there's more than one way to win

Only the Moon
Ciel Noir Jan 2022
I don't know why
till I look at the sky
I cry and I cry and I cry
only the Moon
only the Moon
drawing my pain like a tide

only the time
only the time
and in time I will forget
until I see
the same Moon again
shining one sign to the left

Up
Ciel Noir Aug 2023
Up
I know it in my heart
Even the perfect woman
Could never be enough

Nothing could ever be enough

But to walk away from him
And not give in
And still feel love

Some things are so hard to give up

Not walking
More like climbing up
343 · Jul 2018
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
342 · Apr 2021
God
Ciel Noir Apr 2021
God
We are God

We are manifestations of God

We are physical manifestations of God

There are infinite numbers

Of infinite God


They are One


Infinite

The reflections of One


Every law

Every force

And reaction is God


Every wave

Every form

And attraction is God


Every mind

Every soul

Every action is God


And the sky is the infinite face of our God


We are God

Only God

We are all the same God

We are all the same and it is all the same God


We are waves in the mind

Of an infinite God


Waves

And fractals

And spheres are the shape of our God


Leading infinitely to an ultimate God

To an infinite regress of infinite God


We are God

We are all

We are all that we are

All in all


We are All

And we are only

God

Some people say we all must know
Exactly who we are
Though all I know is what I am
All reincarnate stars

I cried, I lied, I almost died
Trying to define myself
But I am just the Universe
Talking to itself
