Tears Are Words The Heart Cannot Say.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jan 3, 2009


`Written for a title contest.
[Unsure of what category to put this under.. any suggestions?]

Tears escape from misty eyes down a pale face soaking it with emotions,
delivering words that a heart cannot convey through each silent beat.
A single teardrop leads to a stream verbalizing distinct feelings,
connecting like puzzle pieces to form words the heart simply cannot say.

A forlorn heart left speechless suffering intense pain from heartache,
seeking words that it cannot find, sheds many tears of despair.
Whereas a soul overflowing with pure love, cannot find the exact words
to express how they feel towards their loved one, cries tears of joy.

Life sends us through different stages leaving our heart speechless,
yet tears come to it's rescue to piece together the words that it cries.
Without salty tears our hearts would never have had the ability
to express what it feels; it is the heart's unique way of speaking.

    Ahhh when I saw the title, I knew it'd be really in depth about feelings. Your poem has amazing imagery, and love the fact you link both tears and the heart together.

    Great poem =)

    This is so true. I really like the title; that's what caught my attention. I haven't been having the best week:I had to cry, and I cried the words of this poem but I guess it wasn't meant for me to write but read them; thanks, you did a better job than I probably could have done.

    There's a lot of repetition in here .. Maybe try to find better words ? Even though it doesn't rhyme , there's still a flow to it which really helps along the read . I really like the puzzle piece imagery , it's probably my favorite part . I don't really have much more to say .. You're a better writter than I am lol . 5/5
