The art of conversation

sunset rose — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 02:18:42 +0400

Dead end conversations drive everyone nuts, right? I mean, come on, "I don't know, what do you want to do?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" gets old after a while.

Tip #1:

ASK QUESTIONS
The more open ended, the better. Not only is it good manners to ask, "How are you?" or in the more common world, "Sup?" it also gives the other person a chance to share with you and takes away the pressure to provide a conversation topic. Conversations are two way, that means you talk for a while and then THEY talk for a while.

Independent Love

sunset rose — Sat, 15 Jul 2006 10:07:24 +0400

I wrote this because so many people write about the pain of breaking up with a close friend, I thought we could use a few more positive poems out there. I think I did a better job on the ending than the beginning so please read the whole thing.

You left me
I weep and cry
I miss you and I'm asking why
But when this heartbreak's over and done
I'll still be here, my own number one
"If you leave me I'll die!"

The Void

sunset rose — Mon, 22 May 2006 00:16:28 +0400

A middle schoolers lament (you need to read to the end to get it)
sorry its long, but read to the end because though it may sound like its about death its really not so PLEASE READ AND COMMENT

there is a Void
That swallows
every one of my friends
that I love and admire
Someday
I too
will enter the Void
Who knows what I will find on the other side
maybe everything
and everyone
that went before me

Shyness

sunset rose — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 07:29:22 +0400

Shyness lurks, waiting in the shadows
For its chance to appear
Like a plague, out of nowhere
Creeping up behind its unsuspecting victim

Shyness seeps, unseen, into you
With out warning, your mind blanks
Your stomach clenches
You struggle against this mysterious force

Shyness takes over
You try in vain to speak
But your mouth won't move
As if you were a mere visitor to your body

You've lost control

Corpse

sunset rose — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 07:23:49 +0400

This isn't finished yet but here goes:

Hurt a few too many times
Couldn't bear to be hurt again
Shut her heart, shut out the world
Shut out hope

Trying to move on in vain
Left empty and alone
Fading as the moon waned
A gaping hole in her heart

Such a flood of emotions could not be suppressed
It just wasn't enough to try her best
Heart was a life ring,
At that last blow it popped
