Underwater

You may discover my arcane beauty
Escape to my hidden retreat
Words cannot reach us
And safely we lie
But I am truly dangerous at heart.
I shall steal away your precious breaths
And wrap myself around you
For not only am I marvelous
But perilous to say the least.
And I will giggle as you tumble
And snicker as you snort
But nothing can save you
As you succumb to my deadly depths.
