Pashang Salehi Poet Rubaiyat

Broken Heart

Broken Heart…

I am enslaved to my heart for love until when?
My heart always demands and seeks to love until when? 
Once if I find a knife, I will cut him in pieces.
Hope to find strength and live without the love until when?

I rather live and not have any love in my heart.
All of this pain is there, but nobody shares its part.
Regret that life is passing everybody way too fast.
If I don’t have my love, I do not know where to start.

What is this heart that has four different chambers in?
One is for love, the rest pain, it’s always has been. 
If I was born again, I want to have no more heart,
I do not mind muscle, bones and live in my skin. 

The love that hurts, is not love, it's a painful burn.
If you survive the pain, you definitely will learn.
Let me have pain again I want to burn one more time, 
What a nice pain it is, I positively return.

The love is light, delight if you have it awesome flight.
No kiss or touch you need, all that you need is your sight.
When you look, all the look will be the kiss and your touch.
All tomorrow will be your everlasting tonight.

Susan Ashley February 5, 2023 at 9:12 AM Dear Pashang, the rubaiyat poetry form frames and contains the passionate power of your poem's emotional confliction so beautifully. Your painting arouses conflicting emotions as well. Both your word and visual expressions are potent and lovely to behold. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Paula Goldsmith May 31, 2022 at 8:12 AM A powerful write. A "Broken Heart" can cause death. I wish you would write more. Have a great/blessed day writing away. Pashang Salehi August 6, 2022 at 11:44 PM Thank you Paula I'll do my best to write more.

Jennifer Proxenos April 25, 2022 at 1:31 PM A heart does suffer pain ,it causes pain if you love, it causes pain when you don't so why have it at all, except for the fact that it keeps us alive, only a tick tock away from death, and my heart has only beat for one man ever. Your poetry is truly magnificent Pashang. Hugs, Blessings, Jennifer. Pashang Salehi August 6, 2022 at 11:43 PM Thank you again

Jennifer Proxenos April 15, 2022 at 7:50 AM Love is ecstasy, when both parties feel the same, but if one only feels this encompassing passion it will surely result an a 'achy breaky' heart - sung by Billy Ray Cyrus in 1992. Really great poetry, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Pashang Salehi August 6, 2022 at 11:42 PM Thank you, Jennifer... you hit the bullseye...

Judy Ball April 3, 2022 at 4:00 AM Like they say in all the old Country/Western songs, "Love Is A Hurtin' Thang." Unless ofcourse it is returned. Nice job here my friend. God Bless, JB Pashang Salehi April 8, 2022 at 12:26 PM So kind

Valsa George February 4, 2022 at 7:47 PM Life is more dominated by pain than joy. But when love fills all the chambers of the heart, life becomes all delight. Beautifully said , dear friend ! Pashang Salehi February 5, 2022 at 10:40 AM Thank you, dear friend... You're so kind.

Besma Riabi Dziri February 4, 2022 at 11:42 AM Love is the joy of Life.. and pain when it drains the soul.. Love is the breath of Life.. and narrow chambers when it chains the soul.. Love is the essence of Life.. and a blank inside the soul when we fail to survive the bonds.. "Broken Heart" bathes the soul in the depths of your thoughts, the mystery of Love and the beauty of your poetry! An immense pleasure to see you and read your unique poetry, Pashang! A wonderful painting! You are an Artist! My deepest regards and blessings. Pashang Salehi February 5, 2022 at 10:33 AM Thanks, Besma... You are so nice. I have a quote about love... Love is light, love is warm, If you have it trust the storm.
