Heaven Sent (Song)

By Athena Stairs, April 29, 2025

Something about
The way you feel

Made my heart
Stop and listen

Asking for
Permission

To tell my side
Without pride

Following
Intuition

Startled as two
Hearts collided

Can you see
I want you?

Stumbling over
Heart’s gestures

Making me
A jester in

Your court of
Consideration

As I wonder if
I’ve got the right

Tripping over
My own shoes

Do you care at all
Or are you amused?

My tasks grow heavy
Must find distractions

To help cope
With passion

Inspred by my
Desire for you

What is the rain
Without water?

Dessicated yearning
Through and through

Near To Far (Song)

By Athena Stairs, April 28, 2025

If you see me coming close
And then backing fast away

It’s because I can’t tell if
It’s to me that you’d say

All the things my heart
Has waited long to hear

I hate to say it’s true
But loss is what I fear

And I don’t want to mistep
Onto ground where unsure

If it’s my love you crave when
Being wrong’s hard to endure

And I don’t want to interrupt
If to another you are pledged

Finding good love is hard
I don’t want to be a wedge

So perhaps you can forgive
As my heart startles to flight

When drawn to embrace the
Heat of sunlight after night

Having had to dig in deep
Weathering many storms

Psychology developed mythology
Keeping this soul from being torn

As I struggle to keep in check my
Answering hail to greet your call

Unsure if its my company
Welcomed to reunion’s ball

Maybe I’m just getting closer
To my own time’s redemption

Maybe we are paralleling
Mirrors bright in reflection

But I feel your mode so keenly
When you are happy or if sad

Whatever the outcome
I must somehow be glad

Because I want what’s best for you
Without compromise or negation

It’s proof my love for you is true
When distance brings desolation

The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense

There’s A Tingling Numbness

“The medical specialist told me that if I had any new symptoms that I should get back to him.

What – like the new dividing, tingling numbness between philanges in my foot that indicate that the lower spine injury you’ve been asserting is not as severe is actually as bad as I’ve been saying?!”
