Gap Monster
It made her mad to be
Limited in manifesting
She might have that job
That was temporary yet
Only part of the answer
To the larger equation
Which required more
Struggling to innovate
Against time-lagging
Stick-taffy responses
What The -?! (Got Me)
Critter Dance
How Courting Should Be
Buff
“I’m still working on reconnecting with my body, but it seems that I am pulling in mass in exchange from wherever those parts of me bamfed off into.”
Lint
“I got to the gym and realized that I was a fuzz monster.”
The Final Parallel
“Through every version bringing me closer to you, I have rediscoveted my other levels.
When will it be enough, I wonder, to bridge us at last to each other?”
Aiming Well
“It seems that I may have been appointed!”
(You May Be Right – Billy Joel)
Typicality
When a guy knows they have me
They disown – discarding worth
Craving the chase rather than
Mundane of dreams in reality
Come Away With Me – A Lullaby
By Athena Stairs, August 30, 2019
Close your eyes and dream of better things
Close your eyes and find your inner wings
Soar among the stars, follow where your heart carries you
Soar among the stars, donβt be afraid to own your truth
Come away with me to where you want to be
Come away with me, Iβll be there gladly with you
Come away with me, my darling do
Come away with me, I love you
Fly among the stars with me
Seek for where your soul is free
Do not fear what you see around you
Trust whatβs inside to guide you
Come away with me, up above the world
Come away with me β you do not need to fear
All that really matters is that weβre here together
Know that where you are, Iβm always near
Sleepβ¦sleep and rest your heart
Sleepβ¦we are not far apart
Lay your worries down upon the soft pillow
They will be there if you choose, tomorrow
Come away with me β where the leaves are falling
And the birds are calling you home to me
Come away with meβ¦I love you
And thatβs all you need to know

Dear Alex,
I am the method in your madness
I am the glory in your wrath

Infinite Baths
She could hear him near
Drifting gently, splashing
Happily singing to himself
Relaxed, so did not disturb
But thanked gods gratefully
Her soul full of love for him
As worry resolved into tears
She had not known she held
While praying for his safety
With his emergence, exhaled
Feeling triumph elevated by his
Rapture’s infectious catapulting
Her heart lept from own demise
Longing to kiss and just hold him

Traditional adherence
Politicized necessary
Only aids as guidance
When flexibly inclusive

Blade tip cuts
Wealing blood
Rinsing river
To cleanse

Undercurrents
“Where do you travel now, my love?
In your heart, where is your home?”
(Children Of The Sun – Dead Can Dance)
Garden of Arcane Delights
In her ancestry’s lore there was a place forbidden entry to most humans, and only welcome to couples who loved wholeheartedly.

Grabitty-Crab
(About Damn Time – Lizzo)
Goddess Divine
“Removes herself from such earthly caring.”
(Organism – Two Lanes)
Transient
“I keep having these dreams full of sensual thematics that show I have not been seen.”

(Almost Human by Dirty South)
Appreciation
“Thank you to every artist who has ever dared to share their inner visions and dreamscapes with the world – thereby allowing the rest of us to experience connection’s light and goodness from dark to bright spectrums.”
Guardian Angels
“Music has been the one constant companion and savior that I could depend on.
It is how I have made it through every harsh trial in my life’s journeying.
It has held me in the worst moments when I had no one to trust, hold onto, or help keep me safe.
And when clouds have parted, it has lifted me high and sent me soaring.”
(The Offering – Sleep Token)
Set Apart
“When I was a teen, I was not shown that I was wanted nor cherished.
I watched my siblings get everything they needed: held and comforted when they cried; love and nourishment; friends, toys and clothes; the free-flow of emotional expression – and they had me as an extra guardian and protector.
I got picked on and jumped at school; attacked nd predated upon by men of different ages; yelled at and beaten, terrorized; told I was a slut for putting on makeup, groped and molested by a trusted adult no matter how I tried to evade him – and then ripped away from everything I worked hard for, despite all of these negative influences.”

Progress
“I might have a part time job, and my office situation is restabilized.”
(Waiting – Camelphat)
Money
When I wake up
And feel the hit
Coming at me like
A smack from God
I realize that the only
Solid issue is finance
If I have money then
All else can be stable
So that’s the goal
The focus of hack
Redo my marketing
Get out and make it
Then other worries
Really have no basis
Darling
“You make me happy. Can’t you see that in your loving arms is where I want to be?”
In The Making
And he’d scoure the earth to make her be his accountable, but she’d ever been and kept on waiting for his signal that they could begin and love again.
Naughty Boy
Having had little positive experience in relationship, he kept hanging back just out of sight, trying to get the courage to approach her.
My Lover
Her conjurings were always incomplete because she refused to tamper with the will of another.
