Just watching TV and flipping channels and thought how easy life would be if we could control feelings and emotions as easily as we control our TV's...


Poem Artwork

Heart Remote

 

I wish there was a special switch

To shut this heart on and off

Maybe some sort of remote control

Oh please, oh please…don’t scoff

 

So I could turn down all my feelings

Change the channels of my heart

With luck tune out all myt sadness

Insert instead a brand new start

 

A dial to turn down the longing

Another to turn up the happiness

A button to turn off my yesterdays

So I’d somehow love you less

 

But I am only flesh and blood

No electronics or micro chips

I feel the pain way down inside

Teardrops taste salty on my lips….

Felix, without the memories of pain and longing, how could we appreciate the wonder of love? -- to taste love's honey dripping lips, we must have tasted rejection's acrid kiss -- to savor joy, we must have memory of sorrow -- the heart -- a two bladed sword for certain -- this is a very creative, what if, poem -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

Fee - spot on - I very much identified with and enjoyed - it isn't easy to manipulate love. I wish you (and self - laf) the best. I enjoy your poetry!

No, no, Fee. You and Georg must stop plotting the creation of your "Remote Control." It would make life too safe--another word for boring.

Sometimes, I think it would be wonderful to have a remote to be able to turn feeling on and off. You pull at the heart.

Oh boy Fee, don't I wish because sometimes down deep inside it really hurts, but outwardly are always the smiles. Forever and always you are love....



Be always safe,

Yes, I think we all feel like this sometimes, but we go on without such a remote and get through things. I also agree with Christine-would we want to turn it off, and if it worked that easily, would the feelings be real- probably not, so that is why we have no heart remotes, only truths. Great poem, Felix.

,,,,I think of the song 'Feelings' it is a special heart that can feel so much...and you possess just that...impossible to turn it off and on and I don't think you would really want to...as it is what makes you ..'You' ....your poem tugs at my heartstrings.
