My Heart Is Torn Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

My Heart Is Torn

Rating: 4.8


My heart is torn.
Where is the lovely moon today?
Where is the light falling on the flowing river?
Where are the melodies of the flute
which the shepherd used to play?
Where is the child which smiled all the way?
Where is the rose.. did it lose its colour today?
I hear only mourning women.
Did anybody die in the village?
Why is it all gloomy although the sun shines?

My heart is torn
My beloved, my heart is torn.

I need the oil of gladness.
Who will pour it into my grieving soul?

O God will you command an angel
to fly down into my misery
to embalm me with the oil of love?

I am so lonely.
I have no one in this busy world.

O come, O come heavenly beings,
hug me, kiss me, caress me and care for me.
For my heart is torn

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

A feeling of total emptiness and abandonment come from beneath the surface of these lines. How does one give their love across the miles? Will only words ease the pain of another grieving, When experiencing loss we tend to go within ourselves, our sorrow is so all-encompassing that we cannot see the world and it's beauty around us. Our sorrow must be experienced fully, we each must find it's understanding individually in order to surmount it. Yet, a loving, caring heart of another reaching out can go a long way to easing the loneliness that is always felt. Someone who will just BE there for another, not having to talk, listening, bonding in the silence of sorrow and loss. It is the one experience of humanity that we must all go through, therefore we all need to BE there for each other, doing whatever we can to help one another in these times of abandonment and need. My heart and love reach out to you, I feel the pain of a torn heart across the miles and offer my love. May the knowing of your grief and sorrow by another bring some peace as your tears continue to fall. We are still just children no matter our age, we need to know love, caring, compassion from others. Your poem is poignantly beautiful, touching the hearts of many. Take care. You will find the love of self and God within your broken heart, it takes time, it will come. Thank you for sharing your heart-felt emotions and feelings, they have not gone unfelt. RoseAnn

Sad! You write on varied topics and all of them beautiful. This poem really did wrench my heart. and everytime i read sad poems I only hope they are imaginary. The world full of color when in Love! ! and mute, black and in a void when heartbroken.. this piece is beautiful.

A deep touching poem of a sorrowful heart feeling empty on separation from the beloved.There are moments in ife when one feels unloved, un cared, being drained of energy as if life's all pleasure has been snatched and beauty of flower or moon lose their relevance.The torn heart cries for love. If one cares to see into one, s own soul one can find love sitting there.It is God's kindness that love manifests in many forms.Even in separation there is love.The insight and faith can find love in small things of life.
