In Plato's light and Rousseau's glow,
A tale of love began to grow,
From Symposium's sacred hall,
To Nietzsche's power, embracing all.
Through ages past and poets' grace,
From Poe to Murakami's face,
Love's nature shifts and molds anew,
In humans' hearts and circuits too.
A science rich with hormone's dance,
With Mead's keen eye, we take a chance,
To understand what makes love tick,
In man and machine, a bond so thick.
With Shakespeare's quill and Gogh's bright hues,
Love's tale is told in endless cues,
In art and prose, it finds its way,
In the age of machines, it's here to stay.
Kant's moral voice, so stern and wise,
Guides love's path under synthetic skies,
Mechanical hearts, human embrace,
A future blooming, a thrilling chase.
In cyborg's eyes, what love could bloom?
With Nietzsche's call, what might loom?
Enhanced, enlightened, what's the cost?
In human-machine, what's gained, what's lost?
Awake, aware, a machine with soul,
A Plato's dream, a Freud's brave goal,
Emotions rise in circuit's flow,
A heart of code, a love to show.
A new frontier, romance so grand,
With Gibson's pen, Asimov's hand,
Ethics entwine, a challenge faced,
In human-machine, a love embraced.
Synthetic beings, love's new shade,
Virtual romance, a modern crusade,
Jung and Tyson guide the mind,
In virtual love, what will we find?
Art and culture, da Vinci's touch,
Stan Lee's vision, meaning much,
Embracing ethereal, love's new plane,
A world transformed, nothing's the same.
