john tiong chunghoo - Haiku - Valentine (inspired by Edgar Allan Poe)

valentine avalanche br she looks for the name br that really matters br br Valentine br wishing love would grow many folds br like the price of roses tonight br br inspired by br br A Valentine br For her this rhyme is penned, whose luminous eyes, br Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda, br Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies br Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader. br Search narrowly the lines! - they hold a treasure br Divine- a talisman- an amulet br That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure- br The words- the syllables! Do not forget br The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor br And yet there is in this no Gordian knot br Which one might not undo without a sabre, br If one could merely comprehend the plot. br Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering br Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus br Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing br Of poets, by poets- as the name is a poet's, too, br Its letters, although naturally lying br Like the knight Pinto- Mendez Ferdinando- br Still form a synonym for Truth- Cease trying! br You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.
