Question

Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

To beguile the hours, to tame the restless heart,
One must embark upon a quest, an art,
For love's bright flame doth dance in shadows deep,
And those who seek it oft must fiercely leap.

Wouldst thou, fair maiden, court a lover's glance?
Then listen close, for I shall thee advance,
Through winding paths and twisted corridors,
Where love's sweet whispers play with deceit's scores.

Firstly, divine thyself with introspection,
A thorough gaze into thine own reflection,
For understanding soul must come before,
Thou weavest love's tapestry with golden lore.

Take heed, fair damsel, in thy choice of hearts,
For not all suitors wear virtuous arts.
Beware the fool who hides a serpent's tongue,
And feigns devotion whilst his plots are sprung.

Seek thou a man of noble countenance,
Whose character is bound by honor's fence.
For true love blooms when trust and kindness blend,
In union forged, that neither doth offend.

Yet beauty's grace alone shall not suffice,
To win the heart of one who would entice,
One must present a mind deep as the sea,
And captivate the soul with potent free.

Engage in wondrous discourse, filled with thought,
For intellect, when duly prized, is sought.
Embrace the arts of wit and clever jest,
For laughter oft unveils love's soft caress.

In every encounter, strive to be sincere,
With words and deeds that hold thy heart sincere.
For fickle is the mind, and quick to turn,
When falsehood's mask betrays what truth should earn.

Be patient, fair maiden, in this ardent quest,
For love, at times, is not so swiftly blessed.
'Tis like a flower, slow to bloom and grow,
But when it blossoms, fills the heart aglow.

Yet, if perchance, no suitor dost thou find,
Fear not, fair maiden, 'tis but fate's design.
For love, a fickle mistress, hides her face,
To test thee, in this intricate love chase.

In solitude, find peace and self-content,
With passions ceaseless, purpose remain bent,
And if true love should find thee in due course,
Embrace it and be free from life's remorse.

Thus, fair maiden, in thy search for amour,
Take wisdom from these words and do not soar,
On flights of fancy, but seek love's true core,
Then shalt thou find a love to last evermore.
