In this world love has no color -- but how deeply my body is stained by yours
- Izumi Shikibu -
found an interesting article in strait times.. the author spoke about this interesting lady, Izumi Shikibu, a japanese poet who lived during Heian era, a century ago.
i thought the poem was beautiful. and such poem, to be written by a lady of her era.. it shows how alive and different she was..
the article told us that during her time, poem writing was an essential part in courting game between man and woman.
i dun think it is the case nowadays heh. but to me, it does have significant influence in whether i would be attracted to a lady or not. i am not sure if other guys operate in the same way ^^
i could be attracted to someone who has zero interest in poetry. (obviously thru her other aspect of interest)
but when someone writes poems,
their personality could be seen thru their writings,
and that is how you tell.. whether you are into her or not.
because in my humble and clueless opinion,
poetry is never about the beautiful and flamboyant words,
it is about the soul that lives within.
