The heart is deceived by a muted tongue <br />That is bound by captivity... <br />A feeble voice- Uncertain wrong <br />Is divested of word's gravity... <br /> <br />Let my silence be stripped of a story, <br />A naked language barely heard, <br />Below the surface a deeper need <br />Damns the mind which bridges no word... <br /> <br />I told of nothing at all when I called, <br />So imprisoned was I by fear <br />That if I saw an open door <br />I would not trust it not to disappear... <br /> <br />The walls around have been tightly closing, <br />Pressing out the air from my lungs <br />Trapping myself within a building <br />Slowly vanishing from the horizon... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2011<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-naked-language/
