My Soul Deceived Me
My soul deceived me too long
It had tricked me
Told me I lacked feeling
That love is a River
A day always longed for in the distance?
My soul deceived me when it poured
What lives in the mind of the great mind
It took away what I desire
I lost years of my life?
The years that need Love....?
But it fed them silence and asceticism
The self deceived me
It's surpassed my heart
And what adorns my chest now
Is just only dust
From the ashes of my life..
What remains from the ashes of my life
Is nothing but futility
Sunk in the cavities of the Earth
And beyond the river
I looked for the warmth of the sun
For the blossom of the dream
That never faded
My soul deceived me too long
When it told me that I got all the verses right
And that the nights would never fold
And that love is eternal
And that its waves long to reach
The sky and the hills
The soul deceived me
Oh how I was deceived
When it pleased others
With a happy ending
With kindness and serenity
But fed my heart embitterment
Filled my horizon
With an array of distempers
My soul deceived me
Reassured me with peace
To walk the whole path
Of thorns but never roses
Even if they bloomed
In the sun shades
My soul deceived me
Ah woe unto me
Even a friend could not accompany me
It did not love me as it loved others
Or show me beauty
My soul denied me
Do I have the right of the air and love
My soul deceived me
Its gave me all these things
I tried desperately to prevent
And formed me with as much as it could
With all folly of illusions and fantasy
It never saved me
Never saved me
From shackles and distress
