A Perfect Paradise
“Where despite our flaws, we stay and keep loving each other.”
(Miracles – Colton Dixon)
Everything
“Are you kidding?
Of course I want all of you!”
(Hold Me Close – Victor Soltanni)
In This Room
Dust, crumbs, and
Tracked dirt gather
The vacuum trips
Ready for struggle
Muscles clenched
Having chased cat
Out from under bed
Mop stick left angled
After forcing his yowling
To flee to the front room
Shaking frustration residues
Disconnecting followthrough
Clothes piled over in hampers
Replay excited venue venture
Yet now block functionality
Bumping into past reveries
“Virtual Reality” ( Song)
By Athena Stairs, November 6, 2025
If I am yours and you are mine
It seems that I am going blind
Only in dreams I see your face
Your body absent without trace
It’s a trick to stay positive
Left with photo’s negative
Never before has materialism
Clamoured desire’s experience

Ghosts In The Machine
He sought for ways to connect with her through virtual reality experiences.
Wherever I Roam
She dreamed of his
Tender love carress
The hot sting of his
Claiming scruff bite
And snuggling together
Protected by den’s safety
Remedy
When one is injured
Healing advances
By shared receiving
And giving of love

Dear Friend,
“I know we ‘know,’
But I didn’t know
I wish that we
Could clarify.”
The Difference
Day vs. Night
Sense of Him
How it affected
And influenced
Were differentiated
By degree intensity
“Flam-Buoyant”
“Relevance”
Switchbacks
Time for switching tracks again
About to hit more dead ends
Where am I going?
The world spins
Trying to find
Cognizance
Closed Room System
Pounding on walls
Closing in
Constricting
Sense of freedom
Limiting belief
In reparations
Finding my way
Becomes limited
From miscalculated
Neurofeedback session
Attempting to help
Brain’s injury
Forcing tied mind
Into corners
Happenstance
Constricts play
Object Identification
“Making it to the brief haven of a larger handicap bathroom stall, I stop abruptly, trying to figure out why I cannot see/recognize/identify the toilet paper rolls.
It’s because the dispenser has been removed since the other day!!!”
(Coward’s Way – Lowlife)
Exot Strategies
“Blipping in and out of realities.”
(Don’t Bring Me Down – Electric Light Orchestra)
Between Heaven & Earth
Designs of structure
Simple plans of action
Need not be complex
To be most effective
“Between Heaven & Earth”
A Moment’s Pause
“I must rest amid transitions to allow my pieces to catch up, rest, and reorient.
Translation: I am ever late to any destination.”
“Lord Of Light”
Prospects
“I’ve seen enough of society to know that as far as material wealth and performance expectations, my positioning as viable for marriage on those levels is no longer market competitive.
When I rush, my hands falter and parts of my physical connections try to tear apart going different directions.
I did not deserve to have simplicities of my youth stripped from me.
Yet, I am not the first to fall.”
Things Gone Awry
“I tried powdered gelatin in watered coffee, yesterday.
Can’t say that I liked it, but I got it down.
So this morning, I thought that adding it to hot tea could melt and assist it in dissipated distribution.
And at first, it seemed tasty,..
But then as I stirred and went to pull my tea bag out of the way, there was this extra, large clumpy lump.
So curious, I chewed on it.
No.
Nonononononononono.
It tasted like a hoof and bits stuck to my lips!”

Drift With Me
Never Fade (Song)
By Athena Stairs – November 5, 2025
Remember me
Do not fade
Though time has pulled you away again
Remember me
Do not fade
I’m here
You’re the reason I comprehend
Waiting
We’re always waiting
Debating
We’re always hesitating
Neither one to blame
Don’t let them own your flame
Someday you’ll cut that chain and we’ll reclaim home again
Struggle isn’t what you think
Just a trick in how you blink
A balance to be struck that claim’s your wings my friend
Remember
It’s our destiny to push beyond these boundaries
On sacred paths we’ve been tracing
Love’s grace will guide your heart to me
Keep walking straight by what you know
Emotions like waves have ebbs and flows
Remember
Do not fade
Know that you’re more than worthy
Remember
Do not fade
These fears are only worries
Remember
Do not fade, my love
Remember
Do not fade, you’ve won
Remember
Never fade for I walk beside you

To Kiss
For little to bigger things
Playfully deep-hungering
Smiling through days and nights
Remembering with love’s candor

Some men will not
Take “no” for an
Answer
Yet,
Used to chasing
Some might experience sudden
Difficulty accepting “yes”
In their favor
This Side Of The Veil
How had the sun been gently
Yet brightly slant-glowing him
As if late morning but
When late afternoon?
How was that area then open
With time sharing rare view?
Now when she parked near it
People lounged in cars by her
Which seemed odd as she waited
For why were they there like her?
The place was always busy now and
If went closer pedestrians observed
As if they expected something
To happen from her presence
Everything had quick-shifted into
People always using the pathway
The doors seemed to have closed
Firmly barring his return entrance
(Lane 8 – Be Mine)
