“Do you believe in ‘One Love?’
I mean, there seem to be issues when it comes to lack of – or even – proximity within intimate relationships.”

(I Started A Fire – Tin Licker & Hero Baldwin)
In The Hype
“When and where is the time for love’s smoldering?”
Simulation
Moments passing by
Crammed overlapping
None of them retainable
As if love is negotiable

And gave…
And then gave more…

City Of The Urn (Song Concept)
By Athena Stairs, April 7, 2025
City of the urn
My years
Have wasted
What can I do
Oh
What can I learn
Oh
To get my self
At last away
From you
Oo yeah

To Have You (Song)
By Athena Stairs, April 7, 2025
Deep frustration of
Lifetimes wasted
As I walk along
Misleading roads
Rubbled by others’
Broken dreams
Looking for answers
Never found or fleeting
I hear their calling out
In desperation’s quest
So many before
And after me
I have learned
And understood
Yet it’s not enough
If I can’t have you
My mind’s held
Singular imagery
Feels my heart
Still aching empty
Bleeding out
In yearning
As tired eyes
Search horizons

Vale Of Hearts (Song)
By Athena Stairs, April 7, 2025
Falling like water
Love pulls me into
Your spiral energy
Coalesce-swirling
Heartbeat synergy
Creating rhythms
Healing schisms as
Given permissions
To enter valley of
Souls’ prosperity
No one knows how to
Find it on their own
They just know that it
Always feels like home
Searching far and
Wide for the key
The deepest yearning
Leads to you and me
If you tell me that
You feel it too
There’s nothing we
Can say or do
That will banish us
From its shelter
As long as we stay
Vulnerably aware
Falling like water
Coalesce-swirling
Heartbeat synergy
Given permissions
To enter valley of
Souls’ prosperity
Embracing ecstacy
In love’s eternity

In-Between
“I must hold myself in a type of balance.”
(Right Love, Wrong Time – Leon Majcen)
Classic, Hot Ladies: Tina Turner And Cher
James Brown, Baby!
(Ain’t No Sunshine – Bill Withers)
Gently Broken
“It didn’t seem gentle at the time, for how quickly their illnesses tipped into finality.
But we had a little bit of grace with each in which to attempt to counter, and to prepare ourselves for the inevitable goodbye.
Sitting in front of the fire with the three no longer present (except maybe in spirit) makes me just want to cry.”
Always On The Edge
“Is it ok and safe to rest and recover?”
When The End Comes
“When true love is suppressed, deflected, ignored, and humiliated under years of extreme pressure, one’s soul can begin to die unless it fights back with equal measure.
He was surprised to find my anger raging.”
Parting Parcels
“In today’s dating scene, love is used like a commodity.
Find a person for your head, another for your heart, and another for your body.
But how, then, can one’s soul be unified when experiencing aspects of self and others as mere fragments?”

There’s a disconnect, there.”

“Daring To Believe” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, April 5, 2025
Breaking vigilance
Amid the violence
I see you reaching
For hope’s dictates
Ethereal forms
Transcending
Carbon into atoms
For souls’ remaking
Redeemed
Unforsaken
As planned by
Sleep’s awakening
Your sacrifices were
Beyond satisfactory
Granting clemency to
Those who’ve grieved
Opening arms now to
Claim your own needs
Do you see the way unfold
Paved by rebirth’s flame?
Battles fought and won
Have only just begun
Tempered warriors’ truth
Wields mightier from love
Remove gloves so that
Hands may reach anew
And know my heart
Believes in your truth
