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

You've captured the frustrations of communication and yet we continue to write...we're so lucky to have poetry, however imperfect...
a heart that is afraid to speak will wither and die and the only thing left will be you and i, to speak of a love gone by. very strong write my brother!
An amazing naked language is barely heard from heart's beat. A muted tongue observes the captivity. Slowly vanishing from the horizon pressed air gives here breath. This is really very interesting sharing. An amazing poem this is. Congratulations! ..10
