Listen to poem:

Sea of Chaos

Cinematic overture
Chagall’s whimsy
Dracula and the dinner guest
Dessert invitational
Dueling hearts

A thousand mirrors old
Stories from the pages of history
Abracadabra
Hungarian rhapsody
Mountains of Bavaria

Tiger eye quartz
Falling from the heights
A storm is brewing
The earth bleeds
The doomsday clock

Eyeing the hour glass
Of weighted crown
Spirals in black and white
Birds of paradise
Moon goddess

Sleeping with prince charming
A snowqueen tale
Brokenhearted sunsets
Sky with no regrets
Love expressed at heaven’s door

Before the echo of raindrops
Exhausting the colors of the day
Open the flood gates
Domino effect
God will not be mocked

The beginning and the end
When all seemed lost
A moment of silence please
Serenity of circumstance
Pearls of perpetuity

Threads of deceit
The fairy tale must end
The winter cemetery
Saturated in solitude
Mourning’s in the eye of the griever

Writing with weeping words
Emotional brush strokes
Death overrules all judgments here on earth
Thirteen seconds from heaven
Tomb of the unknown poet

Death, where are you

It was so much fun to play with your beautiful titles, Kim. This was done a while ago and was somehow lost probably in a moment of confusion because I reworked it to create a shorter version called 'Sea of Chaos'.
