FIND AND SEEK (Pantoum)

For I only have one heart to be loved

A heart that seeks happiness and love

A love that is real and worth fighting for

When the love we feel seems to be against all odds.

A heart that seeks happiness and love

If I found you, I’ll accept you as you are

When the love we feel seems to be against all odds

I will remain in your sweet existence and would never let go.

If I found you, I’ll accept you as you are

I will cherish and embrace the love you give

I will remain in your sweet existence and would never let go

The love I found would never change.

I will cherish and embrace the love you give

For there is always sacrifice when you love

The love I found would never change

For I only have one heart to be loved.

Pantoum is a poetic form in Malayan Literature. It is a poem of indefinite length made up of stanzas whose line are repeated in a pattern:

Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

Line 4

Line 5 (repeat line 2)

Line 6

Line 7 (repeat line 4)

Line 8

Line 9 (repeat line 6)

Line 10

Line 11 (repeat line 8)

Line 12 (last line: repeat line 1)

Continue with as many stanzas as you wish, but the ending stanza then repeats the second and fourth lines of the previous stanza (as its first and third lines), and also repeats the third line of the first stanza, as its second line, and the first line of the first stanza as its fourth. So the first line of the poem is also the last.
