However I tried to hide, to flee
He taunted, "You’ll never escape from me”
Once tried to go yet stayed on flailing
Adjusting to the barbs he’s nailing  
Cooperating with my own impaling                                  
Gave up the dream of our smooth sailing
Nothing here is worth regaling
Late at night I keep on wailing
Deciding the step to take by bailing
Staying here means just keep failing
found this piece written long ago, after I left.
Terry Jordan Nov 2015
Last night I dreamed and when I woke
Your kiss still floating on my lips
Together in my dream of waves
You spoke of darting sharks that shared our bliss

The air was fresh with salted spray
Mingled with our skin, hair and breath
Unbridled passion all the way
While sleeping feeling a short death

My misty dream still lingered on
Of loves’s desire, all I missed
Our path emerges comes the dawn
Awakened on my lips, your kiss
This was my last ride on our wave-runner before we sold it...a fantastic ride through a school of sharks that inspired this poem.
