I was very much inspired by Adeline to stop living in fear that someone will find this blog and drag me away to the house where insanity dwells, and start posting about my own hopes, struggles, doubts, and fears.

I would therefore like to post a poem that has always been dear to me, translated, though not by me, from a manga called Clover by Clamp. It's actually a combination of two of their poems because I like some lines from each version. I think I will post this in the sidebar as well as a sort of prayer or creed.

I want happiness
I seek happiness

To cause your happiness
To be your happiness

So take me
To a true Elsewhere
Deliver me

A bird in a gilded cage
A bird bereft of flight
A bird that cannot cry
A bird all by itself

Birds sing
Song of unknown tongue
Though winged, they
Still fail to reach the sky

A place not to be treated alone

So take me
To a true Elsewhere

 Please, take me
I want happiness

Wet feathers
Locked fingers
Melting flesh
Fusing mind

 

My first thought
And my last wish

A promised land where fairies wait
With room just enough for two

So deliver me, help me
To forget the tribulations of day
And to stay in this dream of night
Where I can be thinking of you forever

Take me
To my bliss
