Secrets of the Soul

Secrets of the Soul:
By Nishayel & Athina (circa. 2009)

The things we do to stay alive-
broken vision of a soul in the heart of the night, 
What we gain can only be seen in our eyes-
a perfect deception, a perfect demise. 
To question what the hearts body feels inside-
to melt into ice - which shadows of plight survive
It's hard to describe
All these feelings that I have inside
For they speak in such a language of disguise
to find in each truth- would be like
diving deep into our souls
and finding what we cannot describe. 
Perhaps to be cherished in its rawest forms
'fore my mind, the light pulverizes it into mere rhyme
But I know deep inside
that my feelings are the motors to my rhythms
Listen!
Nights of everlasting beauties; insights-
light the moon's other sides; never in sight
Oh! The things we use to thrive, 
are just the things we need to stay alive
