On The Edge
“My children try to encourage, unable to support as I keep holding to support them.
Individuals from community agencies try to help when I weakly, but determined, extend my hand.
I don’t know how much farther I can go with this concussion and retorn wounds preventing my reclaiming land.
My moments are reduced where I can make a stand.”
There Are Many Factors
“As to why my heart is under compression and my vagus nerve twitches on edge.”
KNOCK IT OFF!
“I fecking live in a kennel!”

Thinking I Fight Alone
Heart’s Energy
My Heart
Lives in fear
Compressed
Little room
In my chest
No reprieve
From worry
Strained
To hurry
Insecure about
Who it can trust
Wants to pound
In releasing lust
Finding safe haven
Sync with another
Warm arms
Under cover
No More Wasted Days & Nights
She didn’t want to have dreams where past ex’s insinuated their selves back into her life, taking up space just to keep her from being seen as available to the man that she truely wanted to be with.
All that stuff – all those moments from the past were at best half-borrowed because none of it from any of them had been fully meant.
No…
Yes…
Give her the real thing.
She wanted the man that throughout time she would never be forced to forget nor regret.

(Tanana – Portugal The Man)
Dear Friend,
Given both our history
I can’t dare to proceed
Without clearly defined
Understood permissions
And time to build trust
As building connection
This does not mean that
I want distance – in fact
It means quite
The opposite

“The Love Bug” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, November 28, 2025
Oh, smitten
I’m flat-out smitten
I’ve got it like the bug
More addictive than a drug
I might turn away
But can’t run more than a day
Oh, I’m smitten
So smitten
What can I say?

“Not For Me (Brains In A Jar)” (Song 1st Capture)
By Athena Stairs, November 28, 2025
Brains in a jar
Brains in the jar
I don’t wanna just be a brain in the jar
You might think it’s fancy
I would disagree
I would like to have more of my body
Brains in a jar
Brains in a jar
No matter how smart you are you’ll only get so far
Brains in a jar
Brains in a jar
Brains in a jar
Is not for me

You Know…
“Just communicate, already…
All this high-fa-lootin’, ‘airy-fairy,’ New Ageism hyper philosophyin’ is fun until things really matter.
Then you need to get down to basics to build solid grounding.
I mean, you’ve gotta have nets and nests of security for love to catch you if you fall and to rest together in – if you’re gonna fly to the sky!”
