“Never Enough” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, February 1, 2026 Early AM
Close enough to hear it
From the other side of doors
Close enough to almost smell
It coming from their pores
A hidden glance
A wayward chance
Two mistep’s
False proposals
A grand debate
Doors sealed to fate
And a world embroiled in upheaval

The Music Of Love
She just wanted to know.
—
(Multiple meanings)
Precipice Of Tomorrow’s
The veranda strip of grass at the top of the hill sloping down to the huge maples where “Red Light/Green Light” used to be played, and later, Grandpa’s ashes were scattered in a ceremony that she was not invited to, the back entrance to her grandparent’s home entered through his piano practice room.
You Are The Only Partner
“Who cared for me enough to show up and do something about it – despite all of the obstacles.”
Oh, That’s Right…
“‘Severe’ exhaustion…”
Just In Time
“Doctor,” said the nurse, “she has fainted from exhaustion.”
She To He
And as their children came to visit their home safe at last, she reached out and grasped his hands as she looked up into his eyes and said, “Thank you for this. Thank you for your love and your trust.”
I’ll Be Here
“Nothing else matters,” he told her.

(Metallica and Elderbrook references)
She To He
“Let’s both forget.”
—
(Sleep Token reference)
She To He
“For how else can the air feel the earth’s passion?”
She To He
“You remind me of those fireworks – and I love it.”
Me To He
“Won’t you show me what it’s like to be loved by you? Let me feel it through and through.”
He To Me
My life has been like a cage to me
I will get in your way to protect you
From influences that threaten your peace
There’ll be no more harm this day onward
Risk
Axiety suddenly hits the solar plexis with a blast, as the whooshing shockwave knocks leaves off from nearby trees.
My Darling,
I don’t know how to speak with you like this in real life.
I’ have been waiting for so long…
I Feel So “Dated”
Naughty Green Flag
Need Anything?
My Love,
I want you.
And you are worth the wait.
But I hate waiting.
Me & You (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 31, 2026
And I
Long for you in wastelands
Where life is bitter hell
I long for you in darkness
Where hope can barely tell
I long for you in mountains
And through the hills and dales
I long for you in sadness
Where swollen tears once fell
I long for you in madness
Where mind’s gone out of sight
I long for you in gladness
As wish to share your might
I long for you when wistful
When love is just a wish
I long for you impassioned
As dreaming of your kiss
And if you were a demon
I would want you just the same
And if could find my voice right now
I’d always call your name
And when you’re seeking solace
I will be right here for you
And as the puppet becomes man
We’ll make a life brand new

Hey Baby
“Catch me – if you can!”
(Drift – Kasbo)
Grate Expectations
“As I pulled the cheese grater out from the lower wooden cabinet, its sharp edges grated against the side and I wondered and checked to see if there were now wood shavings in the contraption.
Not seeing anything, but worrying about the microscopics, I thought to myself, ‘Oh well, they mix wood pulp in with prepared powdered parmesian cheese – don’t they?”
(Not the same, I know…not that I want to be eating wood pulp, anyway!)
(Midnight Blue – Melissa Manchester)
“Room With A View”
(Zombie – YUNGBLUD)
Hug?
“Sunset Silhouette”
Mutually Assured
“Peaceful relations still assured, I turn to deal now with growing migraine and nerve twitching, entering next descension levels.”
Fanfare
“With the text of arrival suddenly an hour sooner, I go to the bathroom cabinet, and upon opening it, the open bandaid box tips – launching all of the bandaids flutterimg down through the air.
“The Light Of Truth”
Cheerful
In the face of adversity.
Today
The notice arrives.
Dear Alex,
“I want the man behind the mask, but he can bring his mask with him, for they are two halves and I would have him whole.”
Dear Alex,
“As I have noted, this category has been about an ideal.
I chose this name to reference the concept of Alexander The Great because much like my emboldened spirit, he took his passion to the world and conquered – asserted his beliefs against societal resistances.
However, in a fashion, I am also a peace keeper.
And to maintain ‘greatness,’ one is often engaged in a war of attrition.
I do not need banners waving along a sea of conquests in the usual way.
I need them behind the scenes where love means everything and conquers fears in quieter, more enduring ways.
I want to share love with the world, not dominate.
I want love to rule because it’s the obvious choice and solution that people choose for their selves and for each other.”
Give
My Love, I want what you want.
Anaphasia
What was there to do, but face the storm?
(Dreams You Remember – Euan Ellis)

(Half Door Open – Nova Pulse Beats)
Leveling Up
They were so well matched that they were both capable of swimming in the shallows forever in person – unless one or both of them broke through the barriers.
Lady Blue
She had spent the day rallying and cleaning, putting things in place a bit better as she had wanted to.
In the evening, like every evening, she subtly kept an eye out for him, trying to not feel like a fool – because what guarantee was there that he would appear?
And there was the balance of timing and not looking at every single person, because frankly, to do so would be exhausting.
The Bible Tale Of Job And Current Affairs
“This story was another illustration to me of the concept of the Devil and God making wagers at human expense.
Then how are we not all just puppets on a string?
And if we are being manipulated, then we do not truly have ‘free will’ – which is what humans were supposedly given upon our ”creation by God.’
Being ‘good’ is necessary for humanity’s productive, flourishing continuance because ‘being good’ propagates cooperation and gentle utilization of our resources to ensure our own sustainability.
Just sayin’ for those looking at ‘the bottom line’ – the current trends going on now with excess consumption and large scale purely destructive behavior in humanity has no plan for longevity capabilities as everyone and everything is getting burned down in this abhorantly negligent process of ‘evil.’
I prefer to not worry about whether I am being f-ed with by other forces in my decision to be ‘good.’
I am just going to be ‘good’ despite any of these forces because to not be ‘good’ amounts to pure tantamount selfishness.”
Associations
Sorting through vitamins and lifting the orange prescription bottles to take ending antibiotic and supports, she was reminded of past grandparents’ medication stacks and others’ imbedded culture of using these containers for their marijuana storage.
