Her
Effortless,
boundless,
listless
in this.
Feeling a writer's block coming on. Don't think this stuff is helping me feel
it leaving.

Je vais à la fête
pour boire.
Mais, vous savez
que c'est ma
bête noire.
I miss studying french.

I and the space between us ebbs.
Your presence, I cannot maintain.
As there's nothing I can give you,
And nothing you can gain.

If sweet silver
poured from my
languid lips,
laying out the lies you so long to hear,
would you keep me near?
No, probably not.

If I had Chopin's twiddly fingers,
Or Freddie's range
Would you look at me the same?
Probably.

still smile.
Your silence is a kind of
Yet, still I don't.
A name can be home to many faces.
There's more for me to see
The other way.
I know you more;
You could be the first point of contact,
They both were in love
Make of me, but
And she he;
With melancholy.
Shut;
Unsaid.
An impartial judge to this acquaintance.
Heat,
The words of then are bled.
As to Yeats Inisfree.
Do not be familiar to me.
For he liked her,
But you are self-interested and
If only for awhile.
I am no more than what you
But when swept in a drunken
From words that were left
As we age
But, at the end of the day,
They wish it were
to me
Our bodies decay;
****** upon my hand-crafted pedestal,
But it had to end.
It conjures memories, feelings
Grief,
'Cause I was glad to have known you,
Define me.
No less than how you
Our minds grow and
The sea is.
It's sad hearing yours, although I
and long forgotten places.
But keep your mouth and desires.
I put a few of my shorter poems in a random line generator. This is what came out.

Ag an mbuaicphointe
na coimhlinte
Ní raibh siad cinnte.
An chéad dán trí ghaeilge.
