Poem Synopsis by Mr. J. Igwe and Co.
"A Tale of the Silent Hour: 5 Poems on the Philosophy of the Heart" by Ogbule Chibuzo Isaac is a philosophical exploration of the human condition through poetry. The poems explore themes of heartbreak, love, memory, and healing as logical processes intertwined with the philosophical journey of understanding and growth.
The work challenges the traditional dichotomy between emotion and logic, presenting emotion as a crucial tool for understanding and processing life's experiences, especially in the context of love and heartbreak.
The poem "Disappointment Rules Her Heart" narrates a journey from sorrow to hope, a process that is emotional yet follows a logical progression. Memory plays a significant role in the philosophical discourse, as it serves as a bridge between the past and present, helping individuals make sense of their current emotions.
In "Broken Hearted But Still Breathing," the theme of resilience emerges as a logical outcome of emotional suffering, suggesting that even in despair, there is an inherent strength within the human spirit that drives one towards healing.
The most profound philosophical insight in the article is found in the poem "When The Heart Cannot Speak," where the heart is depicted as possessing a "universal language" that transcends words and intellectual understanding. This can be interpreted as a philosophical statement about the limits of rationality and the importance of intuitive, emotional wisdom.
Isaac's work stands as a testament to the idea that philosophy is not just about abstract reasoning but also about grappling with the realities of the human experience. By integrating emotion into his philosophical exploration, he provides a richer, more holistic understanding of the heart's role in shaping our lives.
(Mr. Rubinshtein's Note: This beautiful series of poetry describes the logical process of heartbreak recovery in a very emotional way! The series can serve as testimony that logic and emotion do not always contradict in philosophy, for the end justifies the means! What I mean by that is simple: If the reasoning presented here is true, and describes what one needs to recover from heartbreaks in an on-point manner, then yes! Logic and emotion are not always contradictory! Hahahahahaha! They are only contradictory when emotion distorts information, not, of course, when it helps emphasize it further!
It also proves how emotions are tools for content creators to get their message across in a way that resonates with the audience, and help them understand the information they receive, more.
As such, a way to further highlight the relevance of philosophy is to use emotion as a tool to sharpen the understanding of the readership, and it's something that many great philosophers failed at doing. Arguably, Nietzsche's legacy is remembered much due to his emotions which he integrated with his content. For example: Emotion can help us better distinguish Kli from Tochen, primary from secondary).

Disappointment Rules Her Heart:
Disappointment rules her heart
With a heavy hand, it grips and clings
A shroud of sadness, tearing apart
Her once bright spirit, with sorrow it brings
She tries to shake it off, but in vain
For it seems to follow her every step
A constant reminder of her pain
A shadow that refuses to let go, it creeps
But still she rises, with grace and might
Her determination shining through the night
For she knows that happiness awaits
And the sun will rise on a brighter day, it awaits
She'll find the strength to break free
From the chains of disappointment's hold
And see the beauty that surrounds
Her life story, to be retold
So let her heart be filled with hope
And let her spirit soar once more
For she deserves a brighter tomorrow
And a life that shines with endless love.
She Want to be Loved:
She wants to be loved, with all of her heart A love that's pure, and will never depart With a passion that burns, like a fire so bright And a happiness that shines, like the stars at night She wants to be loved, with a love that's true A bond that endures, and will always be new With a heart that beats, with a rhythm so strong And a love that grows, and will never go wrong She wants to be loved, with a love that's warm A feeling that comforts, and keeps her from harm With a touch that soothes, and a smile that shines And a love that brings, peace to her mind. She wants to be loved, with a love that's kind A compassion that's real, and always so fine And with each passing moment, she only hopes For a love that's true, and one that she'll always know For she wants to be loved, with all of her heart A love that's pure, and will never depart And with each passing day, she holds on tight And prays for a love, that will always be bright.
Memories of Time Forgotten: Memories of time forgotten, like leaves in the wind Drifting and swaying, away from where they've been Remnants of moments, that once felt so real Now just whispers, that we can barely feel They echo softly, in the depths of our mind Reminding us of times, that are now left behind Of laughter, of love, and of moments so bright That now seem distant, like stars in the night But still they linger, like a fragrance in the air Bringing us back, to moments that we'd like to share And in the stillness, we can hear them call Memories of time forgotten, standing tall So let us hold on, to these memories we've made For they will always, be with us, never to fade And in the stillness, we'll be taken back in time To memories of time forgotten, a love that still shines.
Broken Hearted But Still Breathing: Broken hearted but still breathing, In this world that's so deceiving Where love can be so unkind And leave you shattered, and confined Broken hearted but still standing, Despite the wounds that are expanding And the pain that cuts so deep And the memories that you keep Broken hearted but still trying, To pick up the pieces, and surviving And find a way, to heal and mend And rise above, this heartache and bend For though you're broken, you're still alive And there's a strength, that will thrive And a hope, that will grow within And help you heal, and begin again So hold on tight, to your dreams and your faith And trust that love, will come again one day For broken hearted but still breathing, Is a journey, that you're worth achieving.
When The Heart Cannot Speak: When the heart cannot speak, and the words won't come, And the feelings inside, are a burden that's numb. When the pain is too deep, and the tears won't dry, And the silence is deafening, as the soul starts to cry. That's when the heart takes over, and it starts to heal, With a language that's universal, and a power that's real. It's the language of love, and the power of care, And it reaches out, to heal the soul with its rare. For the heart is wise, and it knows what's true, And it speaks in a way, that only the soul can construe. It's a message of hope, and a promise of peace, And it lifts us up, when our spirit wants to release. So when the heart cannot speak, and the words won't come, Let us listen to the heart, and the message it's spun. For it's a voice that's true, and a love that's deep, And it will heal our soul, and send us to sleep
Thank you for such nice poems; I find it quite true and handsome that the heart can understand what the rational part could not cope with when such emotions overwhelm us... And, in this instance, using emotions and dealing wholeheartedly with those emotions can enable healing faster I think!
Thanks again
