Letter to the unknowing
Noire Nov 2024
Writing this I must be doing.
This I love I must I love it must.
Why?
Nothing known, doing nothing and writing and nothing.
Heh, the words melt into nothing as they say.
    Ever doing nothing forget more do yet write love must nothing.
Can’t understand it anyways.
Pretending to care yet love it must I?
The papers scramble and run and wait that’s not supposed to—
Ah yes the letter? Yes the letter.
What?
Nothing must I love I must nothing love.
To love yet not loving.
Pretending it is all fine when it isn’t.
Ha.
Still pretending to care aren’t you?
Still I don’t understand what they say.
    Pretending fine care understand melt love writing.
Peace?
I dunno’ maybe if I care enough to care, I’d care a bit more.
If the party is to be crashed why’d I care?
Dancing won’t help would it no it wouldn’t.
Love it I must I it love must.
Pretend care I must love care pretend?
Singing pretense care I must love must I care pretense singing.
Dancing pretentious love care letter oh the letter—
    Nothing love care matter it what anymore I how anyhow must?

The Fish That Walked
Noire Nov 2024
I began from a cold, dark place.
With no eyes to see, no scale to feel,
No form to move, no voice to scream.
What a beginning to a story.

And then there was light, chasing away the black abyss.
And I saw five hundred more of my siblings.
And I basked myself in the glory of living.
And I saw something coming.

We ran in fear, each fish for themselves.
"What cruel world we live in!"
From the very start, I cry these words.
"That we must live in constant fear!"

Struggling and trembling I began to learn.
The untold ways of life.
One more day I live, picking food off the floor.
Not yet dead but barely living.

Until the day came, and I was stranded.
The water retreating,
As quickly as it delivered me.
Unto unknowable shores.

I lie there beneath the unforgiving sky,
Pondering what remained of my days.
All that I've familiarized with,
Has hid themselves away from my sight.

Foaming and dying here, a foreign land,
Not knowing any knowable thing yet.
Grieving and crying here, a waterless land,
Not having any limbs to walk with yet.
Took me a few days

...and he wept...
Noire Nov 2024
It begins slowly
One, two, three, four...
Then it grows to an uncountable infinity

For who weeps in this gloomy day?
The clouds ever lasting yet
For whom wept the glorious night?

It leaves slowly
One, two, three, four...
Then it is all gone, leaving behind puddles
Original title "Raindrops"

Another Lullaby
Noire Jul 11
Elysian dreams are made of pink and gold,
Where grounds were laid with corners that fold.
And the daily aching of the heart ceased,
Where the great lover had us meet.
The air was a fragrant of blossoming trees,
And clouds had ceased to keep us blind,
His light did clear our heads of nights,
And showed me the face I liked.
A seaside branch whose fruit bore love,
And songbirds sang like passing doves,
The dancers' grasp of touch and fond,
My will and her's did let us bond.
However short it may be.
I'm trying to write positive this time

Poignancy
Noire Jun 18
The language of love incessant,
Not stopping, never stopping,
To not ever know the end of things,
    Ever.
Inhuman projection of the soul,
Unto particulates of unsought desires
What woe it is that they cast upon us that we cannot see past the fog,
Lies upon lies they built the majesty upon.

The silvery lake of mercurial thoughts, afloat midst the misty isle.
To look in is to die a thousand deaths and live a thousand more lives,
To gain knowledge beyond man and gods alike,
    Ascendant.
And no one has gazed upon its shallow depths.
The simplest answer of all question:
That one is many and many is one, and
Unto a multitude rests a singular thought where all minds converge.

Thoughts unthought and minds unwrought,
To not know whether knowing is well,
Seeing that emptiness before these eyes,
    Hollowing.
The crazed void with no beginning nor end.
To find something midst the nothing must be quite the task.
To find oneself midst this madness also,
Must surely be a task undone.
I was going to start frenching but also that's just disrespectful

Since
Noire Jul 3
This I ask thee, oh eyes of tears.
Since when did you weep so?

The rumbling of the abyss whose dark did wake,
The mumbling forest folks whose skin did rot,
For the curse of the ancient god whose dread did wake,
The rumbling of the abyss.

The cries of that child beloved by lies,
The fears of that girl ecstatic and fake,
And that boy who could not help but weep,
For the child’s crying.

For where else did their falsehood lie,
Where else does their aspirations die,
Except in the rites and sights,
Where their falsehood has sighed?

This I ask thee, oh my eyes,
Since when did you weep so?
To a book I read a while ago I really liked.
Noire Jul 9
Now now, once today, again tomorrow.
Now now, thrice a night, twice a morning.

Let us abandon all rhyme and reason,
That did make my thoughts flow.
Let thoughts ferment through mindless thinking,
And reek of nothing other.

Where then I did wake from a long journey’s slumber,
That did make me think and drown asunder,
In winds that blew then, and clouds that flew then,
And made me not one of mindful thinking.
There I did wake, where then I made,
A journey forward, and backward all at once.
Through Paris that paradise of frauds,
Through Florence that blossom of thoughts.
And found myself nowhere other,
Than there where I woke but fifteen days ago.
And asked:

Where I did wake, now I am again,
To where I shall go, for all that has past?

And at once I found a path I had walked,
A thought unthought, an act undone,
That was where I wept but three months ago,
Of that unthought decision.

But alas, no time to think, there are places to be,
And in no time I was again fast asleep.
But this journey was not ‘cross planets, but across stars,
And much longer did I this time sleep.

To a throbbing head I woke,
To foreign words and blabbering mouths.
The sands that layered about the lands,
Could never again make a sight to me.
Yet there lived a cousin or two,
Or three hundred then that I did not know,
And to they at least I must pay my please,
For how else could I mutter again these:

For a thousand journey's rest, I shall not end,
Lest I’ve seen all that the worlds have to offer me.

And a smile I did, or two or three,
Or unknown faces, in oddly tongues.
A mindless other that did make me think,
So drink I did then, in reckless reverie.

And next I woke on ocean’s bed,
A dream, ay, but one I had.
To swim ashore would render my end,
And there I did lay, ‘til its time to wake again.

And next I wake, ‘twas noon already,
But time is lost, and thoughts aren’t thought.
To work then, where I shall again,
Lay my head in hopes of never waking again.
But dreams aren’t made of cotton candy,
And thoughts aren’t thought with fancy machines,
So there I did stay, a two hundred days,
To knowingly know nothing midst those deserts.

The pale was lit thanks to the city lights,
And a restless city could make me dead.
That night a moon did shine her light,
To ask me a question I had thought time again:

Where I did wake, now I am again,
To where I shall go, for all that has past?

But time would never give my rest,
And ‘morrow was the preplanned date,
So pack I did under the moonlight’s gaze,
For travel again, a short while it’ll be.

To another city across the space,
I land within but a day’s time.
But there I did meet a friend long lost,
And adventure was in the name of this time’s journey.
Aha! What joy I had, in but 3 days time,
To live in a foreign city had never been so fun.
Yet it was my companion who would make my joy,
For it was over in but 3 day’s time.
What woe.

And now to a time where I shall by myself,
Conduct and live under the pale moon’s gaze,
To compose in solitudal misery, the excellent fertilizer.
An opus greater than before.

But nay, and there I did lay, in spite of all dreams of prose and geometry,
For I may not have this time.
Another journey awaits, and what grief!
But how else shall I mutter again these:

For a thousand journey's rest, I shall not end,
Lest I’ve seen all that the worlds have to offer me.

But words are mutter by adolescent fools,
And thoughts are what really matters in the end.
In tired fashion I must go on, regardless of me,
And how I wish I had never left my house.
Written by someone who doesn’t enjoy traveling very much.

Twofold Dreamscapes
Noire Jul 10
An artist walked this plane of woe,
Where thought would never give you foes,
A tri-sect star could put to show,
An angel in the form of does.

So sweet and were we that day,
And ever lost in fools that play,
That none could see that rotting fame,
Which brought to us our greatest clay.

Had you been there to see that blight,
Perchance you may have solve this fight,
But ne'er was ease a glass soul's mate,
Those colors did tell us our night.

So no, I say, to this request,
For naught could I give to this fest,
And disturb us our dreams.
Could you tell?

— The End —
