A fragment from my old notebook entitled Love Letters, Memories, and Other Bruises: the sun went down and as i stroll along the silent ground i heard the song of the low rushing wind the twilight hour filled with balsam air eased the burden of my searchihg soul beloved, tonight i will sleep alone and remembering the sins of your lips still burning on my skin In the News: Arguments Over Shakespeare Painting
A fragment from my old notebook entitled Love Letters, Memories, and Other Bruises:
the sun went down
and as i stroll along
the silent ground
i heard the song
of the low rushing wind
the twilight hour
filled with balsam air
eased the burden
of my searchihg soul
beloved,
tonight i will sleep alone
and remembering
the sins of your lips
still burning on my skin

to devide and devour
knowing 't is not enuf
to cure their acute ulcer

The Province of Pangasinan : Its History, People, Culture, the Arts and Literature pages already available on-line. I am still gathering pertinent materials though for content and I'll be posting my new poems in Pangasinan dialect soon in the literature section. This is going to be a long-term project and I am not sure if these pages are going to be a note-worthy resource about the province and the Pangasinense. I'd be concentrating more, however, on writings -- the mere fact that Pangasinan is a dying dialect. Nexus: Los - contemporary poesy & art
