“One minute, having hope and running back to champion it – and the next, having it ripped forever from one’s grasp – is beyond tragic, and unforgivable…it’s something worth screaming at the heavens to demand amends for.”

Lost Love
“It’s still f****d that he was taken from me when I had just figured it all out and was on my way to tell him.”
(Early twenties, 1994)
(Take Aim – Sleep Token, Visualizer)
Despair
“When the light seems to leave and I can not hold onto it anymore, I fall into the darkness, cushioned by something when I cannot break my fall.”
(Touch – Blush’ko & Tobias)
Pain
“What I see around me is a tease.
None of it is mine – except what I brought with me and seem to be in process of losing.
I am only allowed to give to others, but rarely receive.”
(Pieces Of You – OKASSUS & Elliot Vast )
Soul Hunger
Sometimes, patience is overrated.
“Blue-Eyed Sun”
Zoom…
(How Many Times – Elderbrook x Andhim)

“Eye Of The Storm”
(To Bloom – LYOSUN)
Word Of The Day: Queuing
I’m sorry, but it’s correct pronunciation – given how it is spelled – is “koo-eh-oo-ing.”
(Chuckles)
Expiration Dates
One in September.
One in January.
One in March-April pending.
And 4th queuing up.
F**K
Today Was A Day
Vet emergency with end of days news.
Crying my eyes out in the car before giving therapies.
Storm’s front suddenly blasting down the street while I was crossing, sweeping me up in wind, dust, and leaves.
Attended to clients, but one missed, causing mark’s miss.
But youngest pitched in, and a peer gave me hugs and my Pink Drink (TM) as a late birthday present.

“If You Want Good Love”
By Athena Stairs, March 26, 2025 Early AM
Baby if you want good love
Look no further – back up
You breezed by me too quickly
Expecting disinterest’s rejection
Bet you were surprised to see
Me lookin’ right back formally
No game was upon my sleeve
As I assessed you respectfully
I know we haven’t built a bridge
Both accustomed to isolationism
But our hearts’ common ground
Yearns deep for loving salvation
Still recovering from losses’ brutality
We could give each other tranquility
I’d step across lines if you asked
And showed me how to manifest
What’s needed to match chemistry
Igniting souls’ passions everlasting
Tendency
“It’s just my…”
(I Want It All – OMIDO)
“Talkin’ Simple To Ya” (Rap Song)
By Athena Stairs, March 25, 2025
Well let me tell ya
Society’s outdated
Got me frustrated
‘Cause don’t identify
No alibi for ignorance
There should be bliss
Just knowin’ who we are
How we’ve come so far
Age is just for guidance
To protect the innocent
Once we reach maturity
Keep livin’ by integrity
Free will’s expressin’
Ain’t gotta hurt nobody
Seekin’ love in this new
Age of Aquarian reality
We all have need to feed
Don’t need envy or greed
Followin’ higher powers
No need for proselytizin’
Whether man or woman
Leads in age or follows
Whether self identification
Leaves monoculture hollow
We’ve gotta believe in ourselves
Spread our wings like a swallow
Take our dreams to new heights
Where love’s sacred not borrowed
All the truths that God spoke
Were meant for wise guidance
Not for launchin’ as weapons
Spreadin’ hatred and violence
Pull those heads outa the sand
Let’s discuss inclusive parlance
‘Cause when each day is done
We all ache to have the same
Someone who’s got our back
And security without any blame

The Haunting
No…it’s not comforting at 2am in the morning when one’s hair dryer suddenly turns on in the other room – especially when the switch is hard to adjust on or off.
Suuurree, it must have been on edge under tension when I turned it off, initially.
Yeah…that’s it!

But for the time being, this space is mine.”
Limits
“I guess it must be ok to realize that I no longer have the answers,”
Burnout
“And what man is capable of and would want to invest in me where I am stuck and seem unwilling?
When I was honestly open and available, these traits were not valued nor encouraged – and they certainly were not given safe haven.”
The Quest For Sanity
“There’s this concept that finding true partnership could restore peace and prosperity
But it’s really more about finding congruency and mutual devotion.”
Crazed
A state that overcomes a woman when her valiant efforts are found to have been wasted.
Get Out, Get Out, Get Out!
When trust can no longer be valued.
Infidelity
“No man should be allowed to bring another womsn into my house – either in concept or reality.”
From One To Two
“There’s this concept that partnership can help cushion and positively redirect difficulties.
But my memories of relationship show most of the work of showing up placed upon me.
So in reality, how would partnership benefit when the ideal has no manifesting history?”
