On this page I have some screencaptures and edited pictures from Utena and poems to go with them. A few are my own and some are from songs, other poems, and literature.





You sacrificed your life for mine,
But your pure intentions were thwarted
And you did not deserve your fate.
Little sister
You should have known.
No one can outsmart destiny.
Knowing the whole of the world, I chose my path
And knowing the whole of you, selfless one,
I love you.





I shivered once
You broke into my soul
The damage is done now
I'm out of control
How did you get to me?





Come into these arms again and lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart is beating like a drum
It beats for you
It bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the sound of sounds

Once I had the rarest rose that ever came to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud and stole my flower too soon
Oh lonely days
Oh hopeless nights
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world no greater love than mine

Still falls the rain (still falls the rain)
Still falls the rain

Be mine forever (be mine forever)

Let me be the only one to keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven's laid with stars of brightest gold
They shine for you
They shine for you
They burn for all to see

Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free

You try my patience, you really do.
If I ever told you that, you'd laugh and say,
"What patience?"
I've always wanted to be you.
Maybe not.
But I've always wanted to be better than you, that much I'm sure of.

You're my best rival.

All those times you stabbed me in the back.
All those times I said our friendship meant nothing.
How many times to I have to tell you?
I'd never trust someone like you.
Please don't leave me alone.

And all those times, we never really meant it, did we?






From his poem, "Bridal Ballad." Appropriate, ne? ^_^ I drew and computer-colored the picture of the original Mamiya, mostly because I couldn't find a single screen shot of him on the web. That's why he doesn't look very professional ^_^






Who am I
To need you when I'm down
And where are you
When I need you around
Your life is not your own
And all I ask you is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance
Once again

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why
To tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

And you may go but I know you won't leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own
Who am I to need to now
To ask you why
To tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I to you
Along the way I lost my faith
And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay
To break like dirt
To tear me up in your sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I?

It's you that I adore
You will always be my whore
You'll be a mother to my child
And a child to my heart
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

Lovely girl, you're the beauty in my world
Without you there are no reasons left to find

And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
You'll be a lover in my bed
And a gun to my head
We must never be apart
We must never be apart

Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left to die
Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever leave behind
In time

In you I see dirty
In you I count stars
In you I feel so pretty
In you I taste God
In you I feel so hungry
In you I crash cars
We must never be apart

Drinking mercury
To the mystery of all that you should ever seek to find
Lovely girl, you're the murder in my world
Dressing coffins for the souls I've left behind
In time
We must never be apart

And you'll always be my whore
'Cause you're the one that I adore
And I'll pull your crooked teeth
You'll be perfect just like me
In you I feel so dirty, in you I crash cars
In you I feel so pretty, in you I taste God
We must never be apart

I drew a picture to go with this song that I could have sworn was perfect for Anthy, but then when I went and actually looked at the lyrics I found that I had completely misheard the entire thing. Don't you love singers who don't pronounce anything right? Anyway. So because I really liked the picture (before I colored it, that is >_<) I wanted to put it up with some form of song thingy, so I tried my hand at poetry. If that's what you can call it. I know some poetry doesn't rhyme, but this doesn't even have a pattern. Ah well. It's my random babblings in the form of first-person Himemiya narration, probably from "after." Uh, yep. I put it on a separate page because it's kinda long, and because the picture contains extremely mild, artistic nudity. Nothing you wouldn't see in one of the Utena artbooks.

Note: The first and fourth poems are mine, and even though they bite I'd appreciate it if you didn't take them, or the collage things, without asking. The second one is from a song called "No One Else On Earth" I believe, but I don't know the artist! Gomen nasai!
