No transgression
Despite well meant
Is allowed to smother
One heart over another

Not This Time
“I would not wish to see this one hurt.
Gods, be at last generous and kind to him.”
One Could Say
“‘Greater men have fallen'” – but rarely a man’s heart has loved to that immense and wonderful capacity.”
A Gesture
Is that all that it would become, now that the world adored him?
The Competition
“You’re actually considering being with her?
But she’s not already established like the rest of us – and further more…”
She Could
See him actually in her life – and oh, how wondrous they could be together!
Static
She turned the knob to find the music, but there was nothing there.
(Differences – Ginuwine)
Dear Alex,
“When I first began writing to you way back when, I soon began having similar dreams of my shirt just bamphing out of existence – much to my quickly scrambling-to-avoid social embrassment.
I guess that means that my love for this man is equivalent – if not more so – to the original love that I had for you?
And also, it seems that the inadvertent baring of breasts signifies my vulnerable heart is again being displayed uncomfortably wide open.”

If she could get the jammed cervicals to release and reintegrate, the others would not be so sliding-compression-pinching hypermobile.
Was It Right
For her to want and need him
When he deserved the world?
(Tears on cheeks)
ReCalculating
“If hip joints are being twist-pulled forward and out away from structural stability due to over-torque tension in the quadraceps, will lower abdominal restrengthening pull back and tighten the sheaths that should wrap tight the capsules – or will this just increase the overall load?”
“I Found Somebody” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, October 18, 2025
I found somebody to love
But he keeps on hiding
Maybe afraid of the world
And of our hearts colliding
Or maybe he’s found
Some other love
But then why do our hands
Fit like two gloves?
I’m in darkness again
And don’t even know
How best to find him
To beseach him
To come home again
I need him
He’s my best friend
I don’t want to spend
The rest of my life
Without him

More Dreams
“And the last still ended up with my shirt spontaneously off.”
(What the -?!)
Partitions
She was afraid to be trapped again by another’s lack of comprehension and participation.
Even worse, though, was her past patterning of becoming blind to it to retain any comfort in closeness – unable to vocalize her needs as instincts clutched onto ‘safety’ – and the fear of loss if she shared that inside her needs were screaming.
The Younger Man
She waan’t looking for an age, she was looking for the right fit.
And she had lost that time to live, caring for others in their complexities.
But if she found someone at that life stage, would they both be relegated to standard life-patterned growth rings?
What she’d been learning back then was how the push the ceiling off from everything.
But the people around her had just continued trodding scenarios unfolding slowly, as if sleepwalking.
No Safe Havens
A few gentle, quiet and tenuous but sharply clear-so-she’d-hear piano notes came from some chamber in her mind to her left, spanning across time and space.
But the plane shifted, cutting off the connection, and she couldn’t reach out to touch his crisped white collar.
A warm, dim-lit parlor opened where an umber-smoked piano beckoned soothingly and an older, stubble-faced confident was ready to lend an ear.
But she only played very litle and in private, and this person was not real in life to her.
Another room – a bar this time – filled to brimming with beautiful younger women, viscious in their competetive trimmings, ready to jeer and leer at her for trying.
Then that feeling over-riding everything as she turned another corner in the portal maze lacking any grounding.
“No, no more bathroom dreams please – where clothes go suddenly missing, and I’m scrambling.”
Tonal Connections
“The song ‘Someone You Loved’ by Lewis Capaldi sounds similar tones to Leo Faulkner’s cover of ‘Sex’ by the 1975.”
(Someone You Loved – Lewis Capaldi)
Genetics & Accidents
“It turns out that I have hip dysplasia.
My hound has it, too.
Only her left hip will twist out of its socket – even in her youth.
I have to rub her associated muscle spasms to get them to release her hip so that it again properly repositions when I see her limp.
Oh wait…
Both of mine now behave like this, too.”
Bone Tired
They speak of love
In certain language
Which implies it is
Perhaps replaceable
But, no, it is specific
The right match fits
In ways that make
One’s spirit access
Primary potentials
Without its blessing
Twitch itching bones
Barely Holding On
She’d been afraid of this
His presence promised
That at summer’s end
She’d have his comfort
But instead fall rushed
Hurtling toward winter
Where cold saps bones
Sucking delicate dreams
From marrow as atones
Believing in saving grace
From love’s healing balm
On Her Own, Again
She was afraid to howl for him, flinching at the implied sting of rejection.
Writing Songs
“I’m at last taking a class from a teacher who is relatable and helps make this knowledge accessible.
Lyrics, chord charts, and rough sample demos.
Three ‘simple’ pieces that an artist needs to be able to compose in order for their artistic concepts to be well conveyed.
The perequisite is having taken a Music Fundamentals class before, which I’ve done twice – the last time about eleven years or so ago.
I have a refresher book, too.
But this foundational structure did not really tell a person how to apply the knowledge functionally – nor, especially, intuitively.
Theory has been presented enough to name the pieces and then get abstract with the Circle of 5ths – much like math can continue building, but unless you are measuring something or getting into physics, all you really came away with practically is geometric measurements or how to count change, for example.
I am finally gaining slow ability to identify notes and tonal relationships on the piano.
Lord help me attempting to convert this same info to a guitar!
And I can see that if you know the Circle of 5ths, then you can somehow begin identifying potential chords by whether there are notes in a piece of music with tonic, sharps, or flats aspects.
Then, you could go on to say a note is augmented or diminished, or at a degree counter to its original position within the chord structure.
But I’m still workung backwards it seems, trying to just find the notes to match my singing because trying to write chords to chart seems to me to be not enough info to convey a song’s details properly.
For now, I’m still at the place of clarifying the little details – which might be making my learning curve more difficult than going for generalities.”
Return Of The Bird Tribes
There’s legend
Steeped of old
Telling of those
Of birds’ likeness
Facial bones contored
Body shape emulating
Creatures capable of
Traveling mystic airs
Magic pouring from
Sweat when working
The arts coming
Natural attuning
For now few yet
Have been born
But the chosen
Grow stronger
(You – DEADLUVE)

He could never
Be her consort
Tradition demanded
Much more than this
“King Of Hearts” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, October 18, 2025
King of Hearts
Where’s your start?
Do you see the
Way is open?
In a glance
Hidden chance
Now we feel the
Future welcome
In all of the
Days of searching
Our souls had to
Keep learning
How to love again
In ways that never end
And while I was dreaming
You’ve been creating
A song to sing again
My Dearest Friend
My Dearest Friend
King of Hearts
In a flash
I see our
Lives unfolding
You and me
We make a team
Hand in hand
Our lives are golden
For all the pain
We suffered through
I wouldn’t change
A thing or you
Because we’re here
In paradise awakened
What was lost
Is not forsaken
But becomes
Reborn again
And Heaven’s voice
Opens the Gates
Calling us home
(Its throne our Home)

Faded Tracks
She went back to the area, but that had not been her usual place. And he was gone, long gone. Vanished without a trace.
Magic Kisses
“A lady bug landed on my nose!”
King Of Hearts
High born in the lands of legacy
Sought oceans’ siren entreaties
Unkowing he’d rule air’s landing
Crowned to marry any kingdom
Yet never was he of pedantry
Mastering creation of realities
EEE-YA-AH!
“Aparrently, lifting weight makes my hip joints lose their sh**!”

Dear Alex,
“I wish you were here to help guide me, to help me find decisions that align with you.”
