The Kraken
Dreadful maw of endless deep
Thrashing through the sailor's grave
Bulbous head, unblinking eyes
Ever bringing dreamless end
Thrashing through the sailor's grave
Slipping through the darkened waves
Ever bringing dreamless end
Writhing in his filthy lair
Slipping through the darkened waves
Rasping siphon, sucking slurp
Writhing in his filthy lair
Milky mantle flaring wide
Rasping siphon, sucking slurp
Bulbous head, unblinking eyes
Milky mantle flaring wide
Dreadful maw of endless deep
Thrashing through the sailor's grave
Bulbous head, unblinking eyes
Ever bringing dreamless end
Thrashing through the sailor's grave
Slipping through the darkened waves
Ever bringing dreamless end
Writhing in his filthy lair
Slipping through the darkened waves
Rasping siphon, sucking slurp
Writhing in his filthy lair
Milky mantle flaring wide
Rasping siphon, sucking slurp
Bulbous head, unblinking eyes
Milky mantle flaring wide
Dreadful maw of endless deep

Always been fascinated by sailors and the sea.
Treasures underneath the waves.
Great poem, best read out loud since the words are very melodic...
