ENTANGLED
It was a mysterious part of the ocean floor
A much deeper dive than I ever had before
Lost in the wonder of never before seen
Awareness distracted, senses less keen
Tentacles gripped me and I wrangled
In the depths of darkness I am entangled
I saw the vastness of its shape and form
Looked into its eyes so fierce and forlorn
It pulled me in close and tightened its grip
With a gleam in its eye and smirk on the lip
Suspended in this blackness bedangled
Eying the beast that has me entangled
Struggling to break free and low on air
The balance of fate was tipping to despair
All at once released I swam upward fast
Not knowing if or how long this would last
I broke the surface gasping, head angled
I fear any day, I’ll once again be entangled
