Evil came to dance with me
Under guise, of broken wing
Silence was his melody
He tried his best to make me sing
*
He wore anger on his face
He snapped a band around his wrist
Though I felt completely out of place
a spinning wheel caught in a twist
*
A ghost of ghosts once living
Now mere shadows craving flesh
No sin unconfessed need’s for forgiving
A genie, granting you a wish
*
A shock from out of nowhere
Sending waves of undue stress
A chance to move on, if you dare
Away from all this mess
*
Mayhem in all its glory
Comes to claim another soul
add another chapter to the story
destroying chaos with control

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

Gotta be wary of those with broken wings. We never know their intentions. Awesome poem!
Kelli, is this an Allstate Insurance commercial? (Protecting you from mayhem.) It would be a really good one. (I like it. I'm not sure I get it, but I like it.)
Marvelous!!! Loved it!!!
Shewww this is heavy, but wonderfully written with a lovely rhyme scheme and rhythm. Well done
