I am the Kraken
I rule the sea
My heart is black and
Sailors fear me
I terrorize the deep
Squirt ink and change hue
They dream of me when I sleep
And the wickedness I do
My nemesis the whale
My only true rival
Some have tried some have failed
To knock me down, take my title
As lord of the sea
Evil is me
I feed on the terror
And the occasional crayfish
None can better
Not even the swordfish
So rightly fear me
No ship too huge
That I can’t take you
To the endless blue
I am the Kraken
I rule the sea

For reasons I can’t really understand I am in love with the aesthetic of all things nautical. Sometimes I just need to vent my love of the Kraken, broken sailors and shipwrecks. It’s pretty rare I write a poem that rhymes but I felt inspired to post this one to have a break from the depressing jail stuff.
Oh I loved this! I also love everything and anything nautical.

Something about the ocean and the deep always feels so profound to me. Glad you enjoyed it:)
