By Athena Stairs,  November 13, 2025

Take me to the alter where
We’ll worship on our knees

Our love will never fail as
Souls in paradise redeem

No one can tear apart destiny
Holding hands our lives unite

We’ll celebrate Fall’s rejoicing
As the season love takes flight

Nervous Beginnings

Candid Corvid Productions

Will our inhibitions keep us stuck in a rut?
What right do they have to mess with us?

Is this what it means by leaping in faith?
But what if we’re frozen stiff at the gate?

How do we propel ourselves into momentum?
Does speaking in code assure of same intentions?

I know desire to kiss you coaxes temptation
But is your approval implied by arrival’s attestation?

If reached out my hand, would you offer yours, too?
If counted one to three, would we crash into

Each other, bonk heads, then laugh all jittery?
I’d like to be smooth, yet awkward is temporary

In This Room

Candid Corvid Productions

In this room I hurt
In this room I break

Facing brain injury &
Physical disabilities

In this room I play
Briefly connecting

Fragments of myself
Blown into segments

Following music trails
Along windy highways

In this room I dream
To bridge with a man

Building castles in skies
Where promises fly high

Because love is why
Life is worth living
