the breaking of a heart
produces no sound
not like glass smashing
or the crunch of bones
heartbreak is as silent as a feather’s flight
extinguishing the light within
the world slows its movement
and angels stop playing their harps
for the heart is god’s abode
heartbreak is the only sin
that justifies the existence of a hell
(Came across the first verse of this poem I had written a while ago.
Decided to finish it today)

Your poem made me sob. You described true heartbreak so profoundly. I believe heartbreak doesn’t come from the sadness of a particular event, but from the constant wearing down that eventually succumbs to complete hopelessness. Namaste.

Dear Sonya,
Thank you for this wonderful poem. You are gifted.
This poem brings to mind teachings shared with us by Fariduddin Ganjshakar. Baba Farid speaks often about how we should strive to never hurt the heart of another.
All good wishes,

If it so be a gift, then it is merely flowing though me. And for that I am eternally grateful. Thank you Robert. Also Baba Bulleh Shah’s words are :
You could tear down the mosque, break down the temple
Break all that can be broken
But never break anyone’s heart
Because that is where God lives.
