    About this ebook

    "Love makes us a bit stir-crazy sometimes, right? Sometimes I wish I could keep my thoughts to myself, but with you, I can't. I wish I could say all these things to you, but no. I'm taking the coward's way out. I hope you're reading this. This is the only way I can tell you the truth."

    Short but sweet, Beneath Orange Sunsets is a collection of a few dozen or so poems that tackle this unusual circumstance the author has found himself in. In his debut work, Dav Santos expresses his experiences with love and friendship through the language of heartbreak, which somehow seems to follow him around.

    Author

    Dav Santos

    Many things inspire poet and fiction writer Dav Santos. Chief among them are the visual and emotion of blackness, Oriental Asian food, Korean pop music, video gaming, and his personal struggles with epilepsy and diabetes. He'd taken up both bachelor's degrees in Information Technology and English Literature at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines and Xavier University - Ateneo de Cagayan respectively in his hometown of Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. When he isn’t writing and working on new ideas for his books, Dav enjoys songwriting, singing and dancing, plus going "gg ez" on a couple of hard-stuck silver matches in League of Legends or chilling with friends on their relatively peaceful Minecraft server. I forgot to mention he loves the sound of rain at night, and the odd scent of dusk air as cars noisily honk on in a futile attempt to escape the rush hour.

      If I call myself unlovable, I am, practically; if I say itenough times: unlovable. Then, like practical magic, I’m hollow as old garlic; I’m distance-skinned.I’m a long, mean package, a terror-dyke, a nag, a squinting, slut-spun hag—it’s easy, really

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
