Set your footprints in a place where it won’t fail. In my world I’ll take you. In a sky unshaken, where both sun and air collapse in muteness... Please roll your breath down on my face, lead it to my chest, lift my voice like the way your eyes open doors--from this day that I am certain, from this day that I am unknown. I have nothing from the very beginning, I'll be getting nothing in the end. Look this is my life, it should not pass you by.

ardent passage: august is my poetry month

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

 

 

The author wishes to start a personal tradition, month long and occurring every August annually. It will be called Ardent Passage.

Ardent Passage celebrates the author’s competence to write poetry, whatever poetry and competence are. Lol. =)

For now he would collect his previous poems he published online and he would try to update his blog (Argunn) during the month of stuff he thought poetic.

So what is the purpose of this tradition? The most obvious is to force him to write more poems. Hehehe.

Other reason is to enrich the universe and mankind with things that inspires him, to harness his aspirations, feelings, defeats, triumphs and thoughts. Parang sagot lang sa beauty contest no?

But any rate the author will still blog and keep it up to date with latest musings and weird stuff that comes his way.

Oh by the way, I’m also declaring September as Love Letter Month but I have no title for it yet. Maybe I’ll nick it Bad Loveletters Transit.

If you will notice, August is the month when man first struck himself with atom bomb. (I know there were a lot of important events that happened in the other eleven months, but I have affectations for war and conflicts. I always believe that the best poets and writers experience the toughest of times.) All emotions and virtues are engaged when men are at matters of life and death, and war being the ultimate of these matters: hope, courage, faith, and of course love are put to the test of distance, and time.

September had the day when two skyscrapers collapsed. Ala lang, emo kasi ako. I think a lot of love was poured in month of September, think of the songs Tonight by FM Static and September (Wake Me Up) by Green Day.

As my parting words, let me recall an old line I used in my defunt blog, the instant pancit canton life.

Sometimes I dream of living forever
And that the universe was for me.

My desire is just to live a hundred times over
so I could be 21 again in my next lifetime.
