silence ?

words threaten to consume me,
goading, teasing, twisting, snaring.
i sleep dreaming of words,
noise and disquiet.
my mind chattering,
i sink gibbering
and feverish
like a madman
beyond hope or succour,

looking
for some quiet.

For those words that dared,
To raise its voice against,
Me their master, their creator;
I turned to them with anger,
Wicked smile on my lips,
As I stared back in silence,
Killing their sounds,
Without a noise.
