A Woman's Plight, Reclamation, The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense

The Ripple Effect

“I must be losing weight because as I lean forward typing on my phone with arms resting on upper thighs, shadows cast from an overhead light show in extreme relief the myofascial damage done by the car accident to tissues on the inside of my upper arms and across my biceps.

I’ve got to try slide-cupping this, again”

“Turn The Page” (Song)

By Athena Stairs, Octiber 16, 2025

You turn the page some
Even when not fun

And you always try to do better
And I love you all the more for it

I want to know you
Yes I adore you

But you’ve got your work cut out for you
Come say Hello while in my groove

And all the days and nights
We’re tossing turning

Could someday turn into
Our love that’s burning

If only we could find the way
I’d hold you in my arms each day

And everything we fought through pain
Once death in loss our hearts regain

So tell me how to reach for you
I’m falling

I know that we could see this through
My darling

And from this day ever more
Two hearts entwined they’ll sing of lore

And we can focus upon
Our just flying

Yeah

A Return To Innocence, Reclamation, Where Demons Tread

My Love’s Muse

I know we are both wrecked
And armor has layered thick

Yet we can unpack slowly
Or even cut straight into it

Dismantling past injuries
Chinks in mail adhered to

When had no other choices
But to adopt others’ retinue

We know the warriors creed
To never let down our guard

But you and I were born for more
Than bloody-battled fealty tartars

We can take the skills we’ve learned
Weave coloured paradise paradigms

For you, for me, and the world
To restore belief in love again

Oh say you want this with me
Let’s embrace this life’s gaety!

In daylight spiraling galaxies
At night tending our wounds

(Title of multiple meanings)

A Return To Innocence, Myths & Legends, Reclamation, Where Demons Tread

Awaken, My Love, Awaken

Like Orpheus and Eurydice
Lovers entwined in tragedy

You and I have sung songs to
Awaken what was lost to death

Only this time, my love, my heart
Sings you back into human form

Undead, arise my beloved intended
Ever art thou of the noblest crowned

And though I look over – for I must
To ensure you are still pacing beside

You shall not fade to aggrieved destiny
Follow me, follow me, follow me home

To the mundane where love still roams
Come home, my life, my hope, my world

Be at peace, come rejoice and be heard
For ever art thou my deliverance’s boon

We shall trace our names upon Eden’s trees
As its blooms are restored by love’s eternity

And we shall not want no matter sacrifice
For we‘ll find our souls’ promises redeemed

A Night’s Flying

She had brought her walking sticks, planning to keep head high and stature elegant – but in the rush to don final pieces and help get them all through the throngs to the ADA window, she’d forgotten them.

Yet, somehow, she found her legs were working in tandem as they carried her with careful, determined purpose, gliding and turning on heals as needed.

Her magic had arrived to support her.

Funny how when it was over, her body went back to being injured.

A Woman's Plight, Reclamation

You Fit Me

This is it, the place where the tears flow
I guess that’s when one can know again

When you find someone who’s heartbeat
Takes you where you’d not choose to go

If knew what was good for your survival
Where the bodies of broken dreams rot

In shadows of past potentials’ haunting
Tormented by disillusionment of lovers

Too toxic to remember their humanity
And that we’re here to reclaim destiny
