Best Maelstrom Poems

The maelstrom keeps pulling me inwards, 
Whirlpool's spinning slowly downwards. 
My strength is waning quickly; 
Hope’s waning silently. 
Perceive no rescue; 
No help’s in view. 
Life I'll misss. 
Abyss; 
Void...

I heard the drub of rain pelting the roof
Unaware that a storm had been brewing
Roar of thunder, flash of lightning gave proof
that I had no idea, no inkling of what I was doing.

Spirit numbed and body drenched
I ventured into the maelstrom, unaware
or perhaps I didn't...

Penning it down helps me sort it out."

From seas of green, to darkened woe
The winds do blow the grief
In Maelstrom's tide, to havens low
We waken death from sleep

Harkened to the evening star
The evil calls the foe
Into the tide of the Maelstrom
Into the deep below 

Dark haven, cruel Raven
Where shall you then depart?
The...

A situation or state of confused movement or violent turmoil. (dictionary definition #2 of Maelstrom)

Today’s opinions are so contrasting and divisive that nobody seems to know up from down!
I believe fairly strongly in what I believe.
Others, I am sure, perceive me as a lunatic, yet...

this is a story...

of courage
and heroism.
after agonizing months
in captivity, withstanding
the churning maelstrom
of unspeakable horrors
day in, day out;
frequently subjected 
to torture, mockery,
psychological warfare, etc,
the long-suffering prisoners of war
miraculously 
make a break to freedom.
the great escape, 
however, 
tasted too bittersweet
to celebrate.
all but one was accounted for

Caught in the maelstrom

A world of darkness and misery
for bewildered and tortured souls
A world where howling winds
reside in vortexes of black holes

A world where hope is just a word
whispered in a soft murmur
A world where psychotic episodes
revel at hopes murder

A world where even light can't...

Fiendish and gruesome phantasmagoric

I fell in a maelstrom of Skonivie

When things seem dark, down, dreary
all you feel is oh so weary.

When all seems bleak, you're about to break,
thoughts are so very deep.

Raining, blowing all over the place
boundless thoughts are streaming
in a seeming embracing race.

The firestorm calms eventually, 
dreaming, reviewing, ebbing,
calming; self-love returning.

Midst mild and wild tumults like eddy, vortex, swirl, and whirl,
A maelstrom is a summation of curl and twirl and hurl;
Weather and season get amalgamated with currents,
Winds, storms, gales, squalls, haboobs, and wuthers become deterrents;
Vacuum, like caves or tunnels, into hearts of water,
That curve and...

Love is a Maelstrom sucks you in
Dive deep to drown insane smiling

New music to soothe the savage inside
just incites a riot of rampaging neurons
painful emotional waves coalesce into
a tsunami, 
a solid wall of feelings
ready to wipe out 
several small villages

it is a nightmare inside him,
unknown by even the closest companion,
he treads twisted, chaos waters;
the smell, jagged...

Maelstrom

In this little hell world,
with its thorns all unfurled,
it seems we are  all born to suffer,
subtle as hell,
 fire burning so well,
into the maelstrom we’re hurled.,
