Sysphus's Lament

With righteous glee
You say to me
"All you want can come to thee:
Just follow Attraction's Law...
for eternity!"

And yet, I become upset
For the rock could not be set
Upon the high ground
Of what I wish to get

I ask you why
And you say "Harder! Try!"
But is it a lie? I can't deny
For stories can only keep you
From what's really On High

Empty Home

Wherever I roam
Sooner or later
I return
To an Empty Home

And though lonely
I know only
That it's always here
And it's always now
And I'm always I
Watching
From my Empty Home

The Thing in My Basement

Dark, it watches
Long, it's haunted
Me- within, I can become
Lost, it whispers hopeless
Chills, it's coming
Don't speak
Angry
That I know- I can't hide
It now
As part of me
But not
