Tentacles
tantalizing tentacles
tightly trap their victims in
          strongholds,
squeezing out all that they once were.
they tangle and struggle,
          creating a tussle
          that quickly becomes a tormenting hustle
          as the deep sea life
          becomes aÂ
          grim reaper.
tentacles, once aÂ
          beauty,
now a scare,
          forever there.   Â
