Don't let the
Sharks
get to you

What do you do when the woman
you love grows weary of you?
She slams the door in your face.
You realize she no longer
desires you in this place.
She indicates you must cooperate.
Citing it would be useless to resist.
For in her eyes you no longer exist.
Just like the Titanic
you are going down.
Not enough lifeboats
and sharks abound.
At this exact moment
what do you do?
Swim for the lifeboat.
You can make it through.
Whatever you do
do not let the sharks
get to you.
They will tear
you to pieces
and spit you out
when they're through.
Don't let the Sharks
get to you.

Ouch!  I live near the beach, so this poem has very literal meaning to me!   This was a very flowing read.  Good job!

Gosh James, I hope everything is okay
with you and Jin.
~Hugs sweetie~

dancing with you in the summer rain~

No, don't let the sharks get you.  There are more fish in the sea
More shells on the beach.
More women that want and need a good man.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

For as many sharks as there are out there James there's many many more good women.....So don't you let the sharks get you ....just be patient and swim with a mermaid!

I like the idea of finding a mermaid instead of the shark.
Hang in there, with the rest of us, almost going under..

The teeth are sharp and bite is deep
An angel's harp sings love to keep

Keep the fish that bite at bay
cause your love..is here to stay...


hang in there JM...
