Analyze this poem: Title: Eternalized Souls Souls. They’re not just part of the three non-DNA based structures of a human, not just a feeling, but rather gifts. Soul-tied. Aida is soul-tied to a free- spirited man, meaning his demons become hers too. Soul-mates. Kon has never believed in soulmates before her, and he finds himself wanting eternity with her. Soul-takers. The lines between sin and love blur, in a way that one taken soul leaves the other vulnerable. Soul-rupture. The rupturing of his soul leaves her bare, his idealization and her reluctance are opposing forces. Soul-seekers. Apologies are the goal he reaches with care, her acceptance seeking out his soul desperately. Soul-givers. Being given a second chance is no easy feat, for once the found soul is given, it must be nurtured. Soul-menders. Being clean is a stance that he holds complete, demons removed as she patches his soul with a newly found affection. Soul-fused. Aida and Kon are one in every way that matters, especially since their souls never wish to part. Souls. Eternity might be fun until the illusion shatters, so living in the now might be better than living in the future.

Translation

Souls. They are not just one of the three non-DNA structures in humans, not just emotions, but rather special gifts. Soul-tied. Aida is connected to a free- spirited man, meaning his troubles become hers too. Soul-mates. Kon never believed in soulmates before her, and now he wants to be with her forever. Soul-takers. The boundary between sin and love becomes unclear, so that when one soul is taken, the other is left exposed. Soul-rupture. When his soul breaks, she is left vulnerable, his idealization and her hesitation are conflicting forces. Soul-seekers. Apologies are his goal that he approaches carefully, her acceptance eagerly seeks his soul. Soul-givers. Getting a second chance is difficult, for once a soul is found and given, it must be cared for. Soul-menders. Being pure is a position he fully embraces, troubles removed as she heals his soul with newfound love. Soul-fused. Aida and Kon are united in every important way, especially since their souls never want to separate. Souls. Eternity might be enjoyable until the illusion breaks, so living in the present might be better than focusing on the future.
