Below the waves

 


In the shallows,

flittering movements.

The deep too dark to see,

but you can sense,

feel, a wall of eyes

watching you.

Blood-tainted drool

mixing with the salty water. 

In the depths something lives.

Surface life carries on in ignorant bliss,

but deep down we know

that these creatures exist.

 

We don't live in a yellow submarine,

For if we did,

we would be the beasts favourite cuisine.

Like a submersible metal banana

that he peels

to reveal

the intricacies within.

So, we fear the depths.

We avoid getting our hair too wet.

But oh, we love the shallows.

Through those waves,

dancing feet

soon forget.

 

In the depths, the beast howls

in gurgled neglect. Deep in the abyss

He sits. Watching the nets,

the oceans dirty secrets.

Our disrespect.

We just take our waste, and cast it,

like bait to any

behemoths that wait,

and oh, he waits...

Thousands of years,

he has watched.

Seeding the ocean

with his fleet of mini beasts.

 

In the shallows,

we stare out to sea.

Waves lapping merrily.

Menacingly,

the darkness of the water,

picks up a tint of red.

Then pain

shoots up your leg,

through twitching spasming body

the shooting pain is lead.

As each set of teeth, razor sharp,

devours you, ripping chunks

with hungry teeth, fleshy bits

caught in between.

They devour you

like the piece of meat, you are.

The beasts offspring

taste blood for the first time,

and they think it divine.

So now they have a taste

they may go out to dine.
