The Vortex Poem by Noah Body

The current pulling, round and round
The air vibrates with intensity of sound
Trapped by it's evil chilly mighty grip
Far too late to hope to give it the slip

Spinning ever quicker the spiral tightens
Gasping for air the fear inside heightens
Dragged inward, downward by omnipotent force
Fate set in stone, no escaping this course

Surrender now, the path for which was longed
Taps has played, siren's sung, bell has gonged
The time is now, for each beginning an end
No pain, no tears, nowhere more love to send

There at the core a ravenous icy dark mass
Devours all life, letting nothing get past
Writhing, seething evil, blacker than black
Malignant, chaotic, with no need to attack

An overpowering vacuum that lets nothing escape
Even rainbows of light does it shred and rape
Ripping, shredding, destroying all that's held dear
Nothing left at all, no love, life, pain and no fear
