Category: A Return To Innocence
But, Then Again
She did have that same phone meeting, tomorrow…
What She Wanted
A very good man to lead and help support her positively, for she would give him what he needed, in return.
To Her Man
“You could have my late to earlies, for a start.”
Almost There
If he had cast his net a little wider, he would have found her.
Wednesday
She couldn’t try until that eve because she had to meet with others.
(No Distance Can Dim Our Light – Christian Loffler)
By Rights
They were just two people who loved and wanted each other.
Caring For Each Other
(Sunshine – Elderbrook)
Well-Matched
For they were both so ameanable that no stone need be left unturned, and all could be understood – and forgiven.

Haven’s Trust
They had much to unpack, together.
“Aria” (song)
A form of bliss
To Be Funny
She asked him to walk a few paces away and then come back again, whereupon she cheekily sighed and stated, “You’ll do.”
And then, he grabbed her with a warning, possessive growl to their mutual laughter.
Hidden Desires
But she wanted was to hold him in her arms and give him everything.
Dreaming Of You
She dreamed that she met him – but then, it wasn’t him, so the bonding went no further.
But the thrill of the simulation made her hope more than she’d been able to, before.
Transfixed
His lover’s eyes
Heavy-lidded in
Shy submission
& That knowing
Smile to swoon
A million hearts
Broke her in
A moment
Enraptured
(Running In The Night – FM 84)
Challenge Accepted
“Why’d you choose me out of everybody else?” she asked him, curiously.
“Because I calculated the algorythm – and you fit it to a ‘T,'” he reassured her.
“Is that right?” she challenged, playfully.
“Oh, Baby,” he moved in closer to take her hands and look sraight into her eyes, “You have no idea how ‘right’ it’s gonna be.”
(Straight Line – Keith Urban)
“Look At That!”
The Little Pieces
“Even Now”
Curmudgeonly
“I saw the movie ‘Barbie’ right before my accident – and had cried, hoping that I’d get my chance to feel young and alive again.”

“Turn About” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, October 19, 2025
If you must go
Then just go
But if you would stay
Then please stay
Either way
You are free
To leave or be
With me
But know that
If you stay
I will never
Let you go again
Because you’ll
Belong to me
Eternally

“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)
