A maelstrom of verbal might

Each question supplanted

But write within the maelstrom

Mumbled murmurs emerge
Marooned rumblings wake up
Madcap mayhem threatens
Maelstrom rattles the room
Marred peace sinks in chaos
Moment secret is out
Mad how fast rumors spread...

The pursuit of truth
a lonely endeavor
In stark isolation
veracity found

A choice must be made
to weather the maelstrom  
The trek all consuming
— onto higher ground

a whirlpool black and hot 
i stir up for the 
moon

with just a twist and twirl
of this small silver

to wake me 
up.

guess it's enough, this
maelstrom in my coffee 
cup!...

Car
crash,
melded
bodies meet.
Symbiotically joined,
Steel, bone, blood, oil, a maelstrom broth,
curdled by singing shrapnel of temporary hell.
Metal screams breaking the rhythm
of organic song.
Crow's lament
carries
lost
souls...

The darkness within the heart,  
The flaws of human nature,  
The negativity from superiority,  
The imbalance of rights and privileges,  
The repercussions of unjust acts,  
The soul is drawn into the maelstrom.

The Rapids
~~~~~~~~~
Swept about the river of time
In this land of the living
Like so much waste and debris
Many passers in this torrid stream
Its maelstrom of misery, and grandeur
I reach out briefly
And gently touch another such as I...

They exist
within the shadows of the mind
these creatures of the night.
Unbound by nature’s law
unseen by all but those they torment
hidden in the fearful nothingness
of memories maelstrom.

I am Havoc
born in a Maelstrom
of raging Chaos
that forms perfect Pandemonium
where Calamity breathes Mayhem
birthing Devastation
so my advice to you my dear
give Billy Joel a call
he may just be the lunatic
you are looking for

A metrical escape valve,
  letters in the maelstrom

Lightning on the horizon,
  second child of the Gods

Sacrificial waterfall,
  its current overflowing

A literal dilation
 —of the verbal supreme

in the modern world we have been hurled,
the maelstrom  is inside us,
the greed of rich do cast their pitch,
the feathers can't abide much.
tarred and feathered,
 brainwashed for 2 blind us....

His life spinning inward,
  to its center returned

A whirlwind of intent,
 —through the maelstrom it churned

His end was beginning,
  as the last became first

All time banished outward,
 —evil Gargouille dispersed

Ebon hearted  gravity
Temporal maelstrom

Ancient beyond reckoning
Learned the ways of peace...

the harshest of all inventions
wind machine of origin divine
driving plank through tree trunk
and the animals in the zoo understand

code yellow, orange, red
time remaining: just a shred

deciding what to wear
as the maelstrom cometh
make up your mind
ask the angels...
