Christopher Rowland Poet Rhyme

Emotions As Cash

"Can you consider emotions,
As a possession 

Like shoes or a coat,
Bike or a boat 

Can we claim what we cannot see,
I’m sorry you just have to believe

Some emotions however we can see,
Like those exposed on your shirt sleeve

Happy, sad, perturbed or irritated,
The end of something you initiated 

Can we accrue emotions like cash,
Impressing friends with our stash

Or are they kept in the back of our closet,
 Susceptible to forget

Their feelings intent,
In hindsight’s lament

Emotions are not tactile,
But they make hearts fragile 

You can sense their loss,
If you’ve ever been double crossed

Or invested them too much,
Elsewhere and lost touch

Best to keep them stable,
Recognizing if you are able

Emotions can’t be held very tight,
For they need to take flight

Unencumbered with arms wide open,
No truer words have been spoken 

For emotions need to be free to run the gamut, 
Understanding that’s life and it’s gambit"
