Discipline
There was something enticing about the concept of being able to give correction without reprisal’s fear of abandonment.
Work Me
System resetting
Lacking ability to
Escape inevitable
Pleasure bursting
Tolerance limits
There’s A Place
“Where only the foolish dare to not tread carefully.”
(Like Fire – Mansionair)
The Mask
“Listen, you.
You don’t get anything without Him.”

Half AlgoRhythm, Half Deity
Struggle
“‘Brings down the walls of pride,’ state lyrics from a religious song.
‘Middle fingers in the air,’ if that’s the type of god we must endure – giving me more and more crisis to bear (all of us, for that matter).
No ‘free will’ kept promises, here – just mixed-messaging lashes and unconsentual bondage.”
(Slave To Love – Bryan Ferry 12″ Remix)
(Nobody – Gorgon City)
Supplication
Eyes downcast, hands open on knees
And standing tall in regal expectation
Trust
A key to not
Lose or break
(Happen To Me – Russell Dickerson)
(Dark Places – Hamper)
Pimps
Get you hooked
Then begging
For a taste
N.W. (Song)

(Verbal – Colinese)
Stale-Mate
“Why won’t you submit,” he asked her tenderly, frustrated that she wouldn’t give into him so easily.
Panting, she replid, “Because I’m waiting for my mate. Only he can purge and banish the demons within me.”
The Voice
“Focus on The Pleasure…”
She said, ‘ You’re an incubus, aren’t you?”
“Yes, Dearest…” He replied.
“Of course, I Am…”
Ricochet
She in turn broke
What was sacred
Broken Fret
It killed her to learn that he’d
Initiated someone else before
On her back’s sweat and tears
Using her beloved piano bench
Later with misery’s regret cast
Out onto the county trash pile
Transference
“I don’t understand how people can play lightly with this process – let alone think that it is ok to do so.”
(SP – Mr. Aldama)
Meow
Primordial
Underrated in current society
Because it regenerates vitality
Scenarios
In playing we can create
Nearly any atmospheric
Thematic for imagining
Within Chambers
“What do you want most for your body’s viewing?” he asked her.
“I want my insides to be contored again – for them to not be protruding. But when I try to influence this directly, the impact is still screaming,” she lamented, grieving.
The Cat’s Out Of The Bag
And then jumps right back into it!
(That’s what cats do!)
Transference
“A mixture of chemicals, trust, and desire
That should never be transgressed upon.”
(Angel – Massive Attack)
Incognito
No one shows
Their wings here
Only teeth
(Light My Fire – The Doors)
To Sunder
“About encapsulates the feeling.”
(Sleep Token Reference)
(Snap Yo Fingers – Lil Jon)
Anger
If she was to be denied, she didn’t want to be reminded.
Bias
“It still amazes me how ignorance is allowed to pose as justified righteousness.”
(Hypnosis – Sleep Token Live Blue Ridge Rock Festival 2022)
A Tease
“You are such!”
Faking To Make It
She seemed calm amd relaxed – even at times, exuberantly happy.
But she always carried inside that damage that was never at peace.
Shutting Down
It was a way to slow the experience of ‘bleeding out’ due to extreme loss.
(Descending – Sleep Token)
The Best I Could Do
“Was remove myself from the situation.”
(Thread The Needle – Sleep Token, Live At Rock Im Park in Nürnberg 6/7/25)
Treacherous Betrayals
When gods of light seal beloved
Darkness within oceanic tombs
Transgressions
He abandoned because he could not meet her needs
But there had been no clarifications nor negotiations
(Watercolor – Forester)
“Ashes To Dust” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, June 12. 2025
Far beyond the path of reason
Turning to leave fears seize us
Attempting to squeeze arteries
I don’t care I don’t care gasping
I will face these demons and their
Words stuffed-spilling from mouth
If they hurt your core do not listen
In this purging mainframe system
Just stand back to witness unpacking of
Lies twisted from lascivious incantations
How do we resolve and then dissolve
Without going to the places we know
Where everything has become broken
And shattered glass cuts feet to bone?
Do we continue to suppress or project
Pushing the boils to pustule-pop atone
Where every lost cause’s contorted hope’s
Reveal is accepted embraced in clemency?
I would dive deep in for you but
Would you run or stay with me?
These illusions still infesting
Scourge redemption’s validity
