Kracken

The monster sleeps 
Release the kracken 
A ogre from down deep 
Straight from hell 
A parting of the waves 

Destroying all emotions 
With a rage filled hate 
an almighty roar escapes 
Black loveless heart 
parting of our ways 
One look 
from you 

Stone cold ice breaks 
Killing me cruelly 
without thought 
My warm heart bleeds 
The kracken's way 
turning cold loveless 
Making a stone 
of your heart 

Leave it buried 
in the deep 
Like the hounds of hell 
Chained to a bottomless pit 
Locked in the deepest depths 
In the chambers 
of your heart 
Only then 
love will shine freely

Yes, love can be a ferocious beast at times. Wreaking havoc and pain wherever it goes. Which is usually straight to the heart!....Excellent poem about how painful love can be, sometimes. Great work! Thanks for suggesting it....And, thanks for nicely commenting on my poem, "Scarred Heart". It means so much!
