Best Charybdis Poems

There is no silence in a tempest's wake
- no peace in unanswered calm
that's afraid to view the dawn
         but must...
There is no quell in whirlwind thoughts
- the maelstrom lives on.

The Charybdis is insanity
in the eye of tranquility

Between The Devil and The Sea
( Scylla and Charybdis )

foamy splash of the sea azure in tumult, uproarious tide!
tentacular visions i behold
  from deep Charybdis depths...

murmur thick vibrations 
from abyssal floor......
