“There are worse prisons than words” (A Sunset Haiku)



“There are worse prisons than words”
           Carlos Ruiz Zafon
       (The shadow of the wind)
1
Once words were stones
thrown at me
just to hurt me.
2
Words can bring
more pain than
all weapons.
3
Words freeze
the water when
one’s thirsty.
4
Ten “I hate you”
are less
than one “I love you”.
5
Hateful word
make young souls
take their souls.
6
Words are thoughts first.
Before that –
nothing…
7
Words will harm
as one would
allow them.
8
Let no harmful
words
to harm you.
9
Imagine a tongue
with good words 
only…
