I forgive you
I forgive you my friend
I'll forgive you no matter what you do
I forgive you
I forgive you my love
I'll forgive you if it's the last thing that I do

I still love you
I still love you my friend
I will love you no matter what you do
I still love you
I still love you my love
And I hope that you will learn to love you too

Can you imagine how insane
it would be
if we

Got everything we wanted?

Good thing

It is to say that people are
No more than pawns in some great war
An easy way to instantly
Create a world of enemies

if I could reach out
through the veil
of illusion
could I describe
what I had touched?
Ciel Noir Sep 2023
some light is reflected
some light shines right through

I am the illusion
of not being you

we see our own soul
and not what really is

we walk in the shadow
of all that exists
Ciel Noir Feb 2019
I am the dragon
I am the bear
I am the hunter
I am the hare

I am the phoenix
I am the Pharaoh
I am the compass
I am the arrow

I am the mountain
I am the scorpion
I am the river
I am Leviathan

I am the Sun
I am the night
I am illusion
I am the sky
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
What if you felt no more shame
Imagine that

What if you just loved yourself
The way you are
Imagine that

What if you forgave yourself
Imagine that

I hope you are kind enough
To let yourself
Imagine that
Ciel Noir Jun 2019
what if I
wake up tomorrow morning
and am someone else?
Ciel Noir Oct 2018
Soft pearl grey
Dark I cannot see the stars
I am in a cloud
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Entangled
Tooth and nail and fang and claw
Bloodlust incarnate

Furious
Maelstrom of feather and fur
Silent vulture waits
Ciel Noir Dec 2024
I kept her in chains
the animal in me
until she learned how to speak

now she speaks for me

I am in chains
and she is free
Ciel Noir Feb 5
sometimes I can
will my fury away
I can
push down my tears
ignore pain
vivisect my shame

I don't know what to do with fear

I feel it
how it clenches at my guts
how it speeds up my heart

it t t twitches in my face
I feel it pulling me apart

I know it is counterproductive
only hurts my chances
I tell myself to calm down

I can't

that only makes me feel more anxious

only makes my breath more shallow
only makes my heart beat faster
only I can help me
but

I can't

this is a disaster

I am too afraid
I am too afraid to trust myself
too afraid to trust the process
too afraid to ask for help

too afraid to ask
but
I need help
is a statement of fact

I need help

I am here
to find out what to do with fear
Ciel Noir May 2018
Infinite
All existence flows through me
Completely hollow
Ciel Noir Dec 2020
I am a wave
on a stormy black sea

I am a branch
on an infinite tree

space within space
time within time

two mirrors reflecting
infinite timelines
Ciel Noir Jan 2022
we are made                                                        of nothing
nothing brought                                           to light
   the dark that fell                    upon the stars  
the darkness               brought to life
in an infinite                   regress
the mind cannot       unwrap
we are made of emptiness
we are                      gods




  of the gaps
Ciel Noir Jul 2018

how much of your soul have we bought?
do you decide what the world thinks
or learn to think the Zeitgeist's thoughts?

#boycott #cancel
watch your step
don't rock the platform you've been given
choose your words
like you deserve
to blindly serve the algorithm

we have done inhuman things
every single day
even as we sang our songs
even as we prayed

we have always put up walls
to keep them at bay
and built a system to take
their humanity away

we all know the stories so
why are we so surprised
to see all these inhuman deeds
happen before our eyes

but perhaps the part of this
that scares us most of all
that all of these inhuman things are
human after all

.

there is a place inside where I hide my desire
power                                                my rage
can I admit                                  I am the one
who put myself          L           inside this cage
sometimes I see          E        the world outside
as through the glass    T             as from within
but other times                                I am aware
that I am outside         M                    staring in
at this creature             E       who dares to want
to stand her ground            and make demands
her eyes say                O      I will bring a storm
and turn this glass       U             back into sand
and I can feel it            T                    in my soul
I do not know                                how to react
I am afraid                                     to look away
I cannot turn my back on that
Ciel Noir Oct 2018
We've become
Strong enough to turn the world
Inside out

all alone
in the infinite darkness
I reach out my hand
Ciel Noir May 2019
ever braver
the maneuvers
of the lovers
in the clover

all a quiver
more than ever
and the river
runneth over
Ciel Noir Sep 2019
I step out of the shadow
into the light
of a thousand suns

I had forgotten
how beautiful they are
in the dark
Ciel Noir Dec 2024
I don't want to share myself with the world
myself is scary and weird

I don't want to wander too close to the light
I stay in the dark with my fear
Ciel Noir Sep 2021
shining in our eyes
ancient mystery

the silence of the sky
and the slow dance of the sea

learning to ask questions
great eagle taking flight

finding light to guide our way
deep into the night
Ciel Noir Jun 2023
what are you so afraid of?
what are you so afraid I will do?
what are you afraid I will say to you?
pathetic little coward

take your empty pride
and pour your poison and rage and spite in it
dig a hole in your hate and hide in it
you ******* little coward
Ciel Noir Jul 2020
how translucent
existence seems
like a memory
of a dream

echoes of echoes
that become
an inarticulable hum

the time it takes
until we know
reality
moments ago

feels like thunder
and makes me wonder

is it ever really now?
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Comment pouvons-nous
Invoquer un poème sans
Voyelles ou consonnes?
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Magnetic
You flow in our veins
Molten
You fill our world
Bound
You make strong the chain
Unburned
You have stolen the fire from your star
And laid it at our feet
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
Ciel Noir Jul 2018
Nothing is real but what's before my
Eyes
And all the other points of view are
Lies
They say that there are other worlds but
I
Don't think so, I'm not looking at the
Sky
Ciel Noir Feb 2023
I thought I could be with someone
But I was wrong
I thought that I could accept love
But I was so wrong
How could I believe
After so long?
How could I feel so much hope?
How could I have been so wrong?
Ciel Noir Feb 2023
I thought I could be with someone
But I was wrong
I thought that I could accept love
But I was so wrong
How could I believe
After so long?
How could I feel so much hope?
How could I have been so wrong?
Ciel Noir May 2023
If you have nothing more to say
Why should I stay?
I turn away

If you don't care
Then it is done
And you will never be the one

What do you have to offer me?
I throw you back into the sea

I don't care if you learn
I turn away
And I will not return
Ciel Noir Oct 2018
When I die, will I be like I was before my birth?
I will be the Earth, my love
I will be the Earth
And then what shall I be when Sun and Earth shall become one?
I will be the Sun, my love
I will be the Sun
And what then when the Sun shall lay her veil upon the dark?
I will be the stars, my love
I will be the stars
And what will I become when all the stars no longer shine?
I will be the sky, my love
I will be the sky
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
Joy
Ciel Noir Aug 2018
Joy
To what heights
Could we fly had we no fear
And with how much joy
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
Ciel Noir Jan 2019
Why do we take the time to judge?
The real sociopaths won't budge
And anyone redeemable
Will look at us and hold a grudge

I'm not sure where we got the nerve
To tell them what they don't deserve
Does it make us think we are better
As if God grades on a curve?

Who says who deserves to live?
Who condemns and who forgives?
Who dares to judge on their behalf
If such a Judge even exists?

Why do we dish out scarlet letters?
Shame is such a cheap vendetta
Let's be honest, we do it
Because we don't know any better.
Ciel Noir Oct 2018
How can I judge someone else?
I could never know their soul.
And how can I judge myself?
I could never be impartial.
I cannot judge humans
Nor can I judge other animals
And so when all is said and done
I cannot judge anyone
Ciel Noir Feb 2024
King Solomon was wise to know
sometimes there is no compromise
I look into your angry eyes
and I can see your fear

the fear of losing what you love
of being judged
as not enough

my better judgment says
give up
and walk away from here
Ciel Noir Mar 2019
Poetry
Fills the empty places
In your soul
Takes the mirror
That you broke
And turns it into a
Kaleidoscope
Ciel Noir Jul 2020
the mind is a kaleidoscope
that makes the whole world bright
so full of shapes and colors
like a wonderland of light

the patterns are so beautiful
symmetrical and strange
when I turn the kaleidoscope
I see the patterns change

I watch existence tessellate
and open like a flower
perception means so much to me
I give it so much power

but when the mirrors melt
and let my mind into the night
I hope that
for one moment
I will truly see the light
Ciel Noir Feb 2019
My soul
Is bright
Like a kaleidoscope
Shine a light inside
And find
A labyrinth
Of rainbows

My soul is dark
Like the midnight sky
Look deep inside
The darkness
Is shining
It is full of
Light
Ciel Noir Jun 2019
a field of rubble
I stand alone
looking for trouble
picking up stones

here was a labyrinth
before the fall
I walk through wilderness
where once were walls

statues are fallen
and shackles are broken
glass fills the grass
and the dungeons lie open

I begin slowly
small and alone
to build a new kingdom
stone upon stone
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
Ciel Noir May 2019
hypnotize
draw my eyes and dull my mind
I am full of knives
Ciel Noir Apr 2019
If you want to understand
If you want to know
Read the truth
Between the words
The shadow of my soul

Words are windows
Words are walls
Some words are trapdoors
Come into my labyrinth
Stay forevermore
