I was born with scars from all of the suicides of past lives I have lived without a reason for so many seasons, tell me Why has God allowed myself to live so many times? I know you don’t have answers but I have none else to ask Why does it hurt? Why am I alive? I remember all my deaths And for what purpose? With so many memories it’s hard to tell just who I am With so much death around it’s hard to tell just what is love So much life has passed, it’s time to find a purpose now And you’re the only thing that I could find that’s worth my time I hope you have enough room on inside of your heart for me Because I have no other place to go Tell me there’s a place inside of you that’s big enough for me You see, I have no other way to know You told me that you needed me to truly be alive You wanted me to be a part of you So I’ll embrace you with the essence of my very being So that both of us will finally have a meaning There could have been no other way destiny led me to you I see so clearly now, we were meant to be together I love you so, with all my heart And nothing will tear us apart I promise that I’ll stay with you forever This is my reason This is my purpose This is why I remember it all This is my reason This is my purpose To become a part of you… I am your slave, I will do what you say Is this what you want…? Then let it be… I will take the world within my hand and squeeze it dry of life I will drink the blood of thousands so that all of us survive I won’t let you die, I can’t let you die You’re the only one that ever listened to me… I won’t let you die I can’t let you die So this is my purpose… This is why… All my lives and finally blessed… Legio nomen mihi est… Legio nomen mihi est… Legio nomen mihi est… |

I'm afraid I'm not conversant enough with the source of your inspiration, but I will say that it is strong enough to stand alone, apart from the anime. I'm also smiling as I remember The Clocktower, because one of my many thoughts on the matter of reincarnation is that it is a possibility, but impossible for us to understand, because of that "time as man's invention" and indoctrination of linear thought, and if time does not exist except as a means for man to make sense of cycles, then all of our "past lives" must be happening simultaneously.  Now there's a little something to boggle the mind! Love your work darlin'!  (I wouldn't object to seeing some of your art here either.)  |

MOCindy- Thank you. ^^ serenity- Worry not, this poem has nothing to do with anime, if that's what you were implying. "Umarekawari" Is Japanese for "Reincarnation", that's all. ^_^; All of our past lives happening simultaneously, Yes! Exactly! ^_^ And all possible outcomes of all possible situations occurring concurrently, constantly. ^^ Anyway, thank you ^^ Some of my art, hm? Hmm.. |

Well now, y'see? I'm not even conversant enough to go making the presumption of anime' as inspirational source.  But your reply to my reply reminded me of a quote (and yes, true to form, I forget the source) so I may be paraphrasing: "There is nothing you can do that is very important, but it's very important that you do it." Life in motion, the illusion of seperation from each other, when possibly, each act, each thought, every emotion could very possibly bleed into the actual whole, as in, like, a possible emotional butterfly effect, contributing to the collective unconscious of humanity toward the critical mass of a perpetual cyclical see-saw of sorts, all of which leads me to my ultimate question of: "WHAT is the fulcrum?" or is that a reality that is collective agreement as well, and subject to the inconstancies of cyclic and fluctuations of a mass identity? grin... Yer interesting. I'll shaddup now. |

quote: It is, yes. Your poem is thought provoking and also disquieting in a way ... for the conclusion. But I do believe that in the end all that is not love will be embraced by love and healed. Welcome to Pip! Love, Margherita |
