“Take It Slow” (Country Song)
By Athena Stairs, Valentine’s Day 2026
Well
She was a wide-eyed beauty
Lookin’ for adventure
She didn’t know
Who she could trust
So I told her to
Come here gently
Don’t ya let the fear win
I bet you got plenty of buck left in ya
‘Cause your lookin’ for a man
Ain’t been into danger
You don’t need to worry
‘Cause I ain’t in no hurry
We can get real cozy
Take it like we’re dozy
You know I like it when
You’re playin’ hard to get
And I know you need to be cautious
But darlin’ you’re lookin’ luscious
You aint seen nuthin’ at all yet
Come here close and I’ll tell you a secret
We could walk out that door
Promise you’ll want more
And then when we’re finished
We’ll start it all again
‘Cause this is
Oh my mama
Your lookin’ like a goddess
And one thing you’ll notice
Is baby I can take it real
Slow
Mmmm
Yeah
Oh babe
We’ll take it
Nice and
Slow
Mmmm
Mmmm
Baby
We can take it real
Slow
(Music continuing for a while, then fading into distance)

I Guess It’s Like, This: North & South Ending
The Pulse Of Love
They were traveling together for the first time while it was unfolding, and a younger assistant showed her all of the lyrics written out, published in a journal’s paper.
And as she continued listening to it playing while she read how they were printed, she realized that each small grouping of words lasted for quite a few minutes of experience.
Therefore, the song was a very long one – longer, perhaps, than many before.
As their air car landed and she got out with her guy, she wrapped her arms around him from behind as he sat down breifly on a bench, then nuzzled her nose and face into the nape of his neck, breathing in his scent and glorying in the way his warmth and hair felt against her skin.
“It’s perfect, don’t you think?” she murmured as she kissed just below his ear, feeling the heat of his pulse quicken against her lips.
“A real love song should be long and stretch out in a kind of forever so that lovers can expand into and have their joys and hopes supported as they are mirrored by it.”

By Athena Stairs, November 14, 2025
Oh secret smile shared with demure eyes
Angelic blessings can no longer disguise
Come and let me touch the Face of Love
Teeth like a cat’s voice smooth as a dove
Only a halo burning bright for pure Truth
Could survive Hell’s fire walls undeterred
Tranforming ash into heat’s molten desire
Wings of supernova stardust lift us higher

“Set Alight” (Song)
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
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
Rapture
“No, I’d likely not want to go…
I’d likely want to stay and help restore Earth to its Eden.”

Driven To Tears
They were matched in every way that truly mattered – and love would not allow them to turn away from each other.
Adam’s Rib
A good woman needs a good man’s entirety
Designed to protect and help evolve flaws
For she is the missing piece
Which supports his heart
And he is their sustenance
Providing life’s purpose
(Still My Ecstasy – Le Youth & Ella Poletti)
A Perfect Paradise
“Where despite our flaws, we stay and keep loving each other.”
Between Heaven & Earth
Designs of structure
Simple plans of action
Need not be complex
To be most effective
(Let Me Call You Sweetheart – Patti Page)
Loving You
Stringing memories of encounters
Like precious pearls on a necklace
ConvergingWorlds
As she turned to leave because she had to keep attending to her fragile realities, he paused her with a quick encircling of her wrist with his elegant fingers.
“Don’t go…
Stay.
I’ll take care of you…
I’ll take care of everything.”
(Disappear – Avenz)
Solid Ground
Fire consumes air
While lifting higher
Water cools inferno
Whipped into desire
And Earth gives love
Its haven for landing

Status For Marriage
(You & Me – Disclosure ft. Eliza Doolittle, Riva Remix)
I Know, I Know
There’s only so much definition
Before we must just take a leap
Only so much deep discussion
Before two souls commit keep
But it is worth indulging
As we quiver biting nails
So that we calculate our bearings
Moving ship into water after shelf
There are stars to choose to guide by
Though others later share importance
Specific phrasings to convey meaning
So we understand language as lovers
Darling do not worry if I hesitate in a step
Just making sure we will be safe to benefit
This means so much to you and me
I want us to be found in translation
Working Equations
It’s a specialty of mine
In certain parameters
To examine designs
Routing out weakness
Not to trash constructs but
Configure reinforcements
Ensuring longevity’s
Mutual satisfactions

Pair Bonding
It is important to know
Where weak points exist
To focus on collaboration
For ensuring strengthening
Eternally
How is love timeless
Like waves in the sea?
Like the heavens’ expanse
Stretching off into eternity?
What brings two souls together
Uniting to form perfect symmetry?
