The loud sound of nothingness
Strangling, reason is dead.
Trapped within words spoken so long ago
Indecision finds strength and soars
Knees to the earth, mouth open
Proceed you foul night
Let your lock prove timeless
In sight and sound
Of days and nights
Tepid I return to larva.

Un-coded
Un-coded
In my shell I exist
Fearful, afraid to live
Enclosed by my past
I drown in nothingness
A walk down that path
To trust a stranger without
To give life a peek within
Words and thought, indeed deeds
It starts with a word…my deed
A desire to be heard… my thought
To feel life once more…my word
Freedom lost to time…mine
Yet I bleed
Letting each word speak
Letting each word think
Alas they reveal too much
Excitement creeps into my soul
My words take flight…soaring
A placid smile breaks my fear
In life I stand…coded to the world
Un-coding…Un-coded to him

All my life I have lived in fear of revelation. Revelation of what, I am yet to comprehend. My desires and goals are filled with sinful, yet exciting things. Everyday I watch myself engage the world on different playing fields. This poem expresses a moment in time when I met a fellow poet. Unlike me, he was not lost. I needed his confidence, I needed his friendship. Time will tell how close we will become.
Like me, most people search all their life for a listening ear. An ear without judgment. An ear without the prosecution. Our souls need to release some kind of testimony. It brings life, even in darkness. That is where I stand.
