Colossal Squid

The deep is unforgiving, only as crushing blanket housing fears.
A creature forever stranded, but right at home all at once.
A silence-stricken worldview,
Any resemblance of sound, muffled and unrecognisable.
Hellfire eyes, somehow peering through the salty depths.
Curling limbs wrapping around every crevasse.
A burning passionate red lined with fear,
Reaching out seemingly infinitely, never ceasing to expand.
Mysterious, elusive with questionable features,
Floating along the wretched paths of the treacherous deep.
A wandering soul, content with just being,
A back-handed attempt at a distant reality.
Colossal, titan of the sea.
Tentacles woven with indented teeth.
Repetitive movements of gills, ongoing loops.
A beak speaking no words, but only hunger.
A calm, forward spirit.
Ravaging and inescapable in the blink of an eye.
Terrifying predator of the deep.
Wounded prey of the deeper.
