Well done Temps this was a really well thought out poem, the only suggestion i have is to swap simply and cannot around at the end of your first verse i think it will change the meaning of what you were saying for the better as it stands it would mean it cannot be said with an easy understanding, in its altered form it would mean, the heart would not have been able to verbally express itself without the puzzle pieces.
Anyway its an excellent poem and i loved the metaphors in it, and the whole concept of the poem, you wrote something beautifull and expressive and still managed to keep the flow and meter perfect
a resounding well done Temps
5/5 and it has my weekly vote

Let me start by saying as far as I am concerned the flow is flawless The content and word choice is beautiful.l love this style but I cannot hold a candle to you. moore praise well come after I nominate you

"Tears escape from misty eyes down a pale face soaking it with emotions,
delivering words that a heart cannot convey through each silent beat."

^^ loved these lines ... though I found them very long... but the meaning it conveys is touching... and beautifully penned ...

I found the first stanza very beautiful... the beauty somewhat dimishes in the second stanza...

"yet tears come to it's rescue to piece together the words that it cries."
^^
the last one is again wonderfully penned ...

overall a wonderful read...
keep writing..

Wow, this is such an emotional piece, with th feelings portrayed so vividly. However, there is a spelling mistake, and a few commas need adding, which I have added and pointed out :)

Tears escape from misty eyes down a pale face, soaking it with emotions,
delivering words that a heart cannot convey through each silent beat.

^^ This is an awesome start, grabbing the reader right from the very beginning. I added a comma in the first line, as the words merged together a bit otherwise, but apart from that, brilliant :)

A single teardrop leads to a stream, verbalizing distinct feelings,
connecting like puzzle pieces to form words the heart simply cannot say.

^^ I love the way you have referred to the title again in this line, linking all the time, great. I added another comma before 'verbalizing' which I think is a great word choice, the voice of the heart :D

A forlorn heart left speechless, suffering intense pain from heartache,
seeking words that it cannot find, sheds many tears of despair.

^^ Such vivid imagery here, and such raw emotion, it just reaches out and grabs the reader! Beautiful choice of words, and another comma added :)

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.

^^ I love the word 'soul' being used instead of excessively using 'heart. I personally think it could be 'loved oneS', but it's your choice. What I think might be interesting is ending these two lines like you ended the last two line, e.g. 'sheds many tears of joy', as it would empahsise this great comparison. Well done :D

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.

^^ Subtly starting to conclude, with this great way of saying how the tears tell everything. 'It's' does not need an apostrophe ('its'), and I added a comma, but apart from that, it's lovely :)

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.

^^ And finally, we end with a very philosophical stanza, but I like it! A comma has been added, otherwise it would have been a very long line.

Overall, this is a beautiful poem, it gets my vote of 5. If I haven't already used up my weekly votes, it will get that one too. And if you haven't featured it... FEATURE IT! Seriously! It's awesome :D

As to the genre, I would put it into the misc. poems. The reason, well, it seems a bit ironic to put it into sad poems when you write about tears of happiness also. It just seems to fit :)

Keep writing, this is awesome,
Emily :D

I want you to tell me which sounds better, honestly:

VERSION 1:

"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."

VERSION 2:
[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]

- I can't and won't make the decision for you. But as the reader I must say that I feel as if the lines are drug out, extremely too long and it takes away from the poem in a sad way. This is an oustanding poem. Written exceptionally well by what seems like an exception writer. But, you need to take another look at it. And, think about the change I suggested to each stanza (not just the first one). It's in extreme need of a face 'down'.

You have such wonderful wording, Forever. I hope you realize that. Don't drag it out, it ruins a poem. (I don't mean the long lines, sometimes they work for a poem, but sometimes they do ruin it..)

I love the fact that this poem has no rhyme and really no beat. It kept me wanting to read to figure out what was going on. The words that you used were very vivid and allowed me to picture each different reason that the person in your poem was crying. Lastly I completely injoyed the fact that the theme TEARS can so easily be redifined by the reader. (if that makes sence)

If I had to correct something, I would shorten the title, but that's a personal me thing. Thanks for the read.
(~:Spirit:~)

Ok let me start with this: well done, there is just one part that laks emotion in my opinion. Other than that this is a beautiful poem.
"yet tears come to it's rescue to piece together the words that it cries" this is my favorite line, this poem had me tearing up reading it

"It is the hearts unique way of speaking",

very powerful "and my favorite line in the poem. Overall i like the poem, and especially the idea behind the poem. What i did not like was the often repetitive words and ideas throughout the poem. I am not going to say how i would revise it because i do feel that you are a good writer and it is your poem (therefore if you choose to do so i am sure you will do fine without my telling you what to say). Often we find that an outside opinion reveals small mistakes that when corrected can bring much more life and power to our piece of work.

Of course my comments are not going to be as long as the others, I just want to comment and say that this is a fantastic poem. keep it up.

It is a poem which i recall touching the subject on. i think its so true that is what tears are. you touched this lovely. so sadthough. but well done.

I loved it

I dont know but it sure was beautiful good job
keep writing

The imagery is great and you have such a good idea here!
but it all kind of blended together and it didnt really stand out for me.
There were a few too many descriptive words.
If you cut it up a bit it would be easier to read and it might flow a bit more.
But you def. have talent :D
4/5

I usually hate poems that don't rhyme but this was one I actually liked. Good job!

This was outstanding,
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.

I never thought of it in that way but you are right, without the tears it would just stay bottled up inside. Excellent message and well written.

Loved it continue to write

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

This poem was very well written!! i love the line "A forlorn heart left speechless suffering intense pain from heartache,
seeking words that it cannot find, sheds many tears of despair." it's perfect! keep it up! please read/comment some of my poems???

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.

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 =)

5/5
