Kraken
You have released
the Kraken.
The mighty eye opens,
thrusting to the swelling surface.
I come for you in waves,
fists strapped to the starboard bow.
Your tentacles are draped
like twisted sea dreads
swaying across your varnished shoulders.
I am the captain’s daughter.
You are the mutiny of FUCK,
painted and tainted with exotic tattoos,
canon balls crashing
against my soft ocean innocence.
I am the salty, white foam
and the shackled brown curls.
You are the rage
of maritime tempest.
Daddy’s never seen
his little girl
ride a seahorse so hard
though I warned him
straight up
about the riptide.

Billy's gonna be predictable though. When I read your line: 'Your tentacles are draped' I misread it initially as 'testicles'. I enjoyed reading of this loss of innocence though, much to Daddy's disapproval, I'm sure or shore... maybe? 🤣

Loves this stanza especially Maritime Tempest fucking brilliant!
Then again this is oozing with visual impact too!

Poetic comment:
"The kraken wakes,
his lust thirst slakes
with the mermaid
land renegade."

I was caught up in the poem's repertoire invoking mythical sea creatures. (The first line was inspired by an actual book title.) I have never met a real life mermaid, your question reminds me of women who claim to have enjoyed sex with space aliens.
