Riddle

along these harmonies of words
     devoid of any reason, 
lie an enigma here 
     contained within this poem of Passion.

attempt, you might, you'll never find; 
     eyes alone cannot see.
if all could search inside my heart, 
     if only, then perceive
educated minds alone 
     best read what's hidden, simply, 
          —Love, I said, would solve this riddle.
