I want my heart to be torn to pieces...

I want
My heart to be
Torn to pieces, then each
Of the piece sing a song: the song
of Longing, the song of anguish, the song
of a broken heart; For sorrow
born off torment, is the
sweetest of songs.
I want...

oh Zoya, how have I missed you. For some reason you are not appearing on my page anymore. I had to find you again. So, I clicked on your name and saw you had written and I had missed.
This is so heart touching. I felt each piece of your heart. I heard each note. Love you, Kathy

In these lines, in a simple and beautiful way, you present one of the great themes of poetry in all times and languages: the broken heart's longing, its beautiful song. Thanks!

Come on Kaye! Relax! This breaking of heart is metaphorical. I am not heart broken at all. This, if you noticed, is inspired by Rumi's Persian couplet. Breaking of heart is talked about a lot in Urdu and Persian poetry...
((Hugs for the concern though, Kaye!))
Love, Zoya

This write is so totally you, so soft, so gently sad.. Quintessential Zoya!

heartache is such sweet sorrow, but I think I can go without it a while longer if I may.
