“Just come up to me slowly and gently, and introduce yourself to me, my love – so that I do not startle and automatically run.”

Mutual Deference
She was cautious to not place any judgements on possible prior ‘inexperience’ for either of them when sensing what she knew of him seemed to indicate the likelihood of his having so much respect for her that this possibly caused uncertainty about how he could best proceed.
I’m Not Going To Chase You
“I’ve sent you love songs and explained in great detail, despite my pain’s aggravation.
But neither will I deny you.”
(Flicking her tail in his direction as she saunters smoothly away into the forest)
In Her Defense
She had not realized until now that her prior freeze shut down had been her primal instinct’s self defensive checking to make sure that he was serious.
Of course, he had thought (possibly quite rightly from his point of view) that his mere sudden presence should have been enough evidence.
But he had not calculated into his equation the true depths that ran between them.
The Natural Order
If a male large cat senses a matching female’s need and wants to be with her, he shows up.
And of course, she resists at first because she needs to assess his seriousness.
She needs to know that she can trust him to stick around before she shows external acceptance.
But humans seem to need to complicate everything.
Prized Possession
She understood and cherished him in ways others didn’t and couldn’t.
And further, her love would nourish him.

What’s Missing In “Modern Lovers”
They often lack capability of the deeper exchange.
Anemia
She needed prime meat.

Lover’s Tiff
He kept thinking that he should stay away until she felt better.
But she wasn’t going to feel better until he was reunited with her.
A Match Made In Heaven
I don’t know who came up with the idea that an incubus and succubus were not made for each other.
But that person was either very stupid, or destructively conniving.

Dearest,
Do you not understand?
Your emotions feed me
That is why silence harms me
I need your love’s wild energy
Your range of passion
From calming to loud
Where once shamed
Let’s welcome proud
Red
In the Blue

My Love, “Reach For Me” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 16, 2026
Why are you always hidin’ and runnin’
Can’t you see you’re the one I need
Baby you’ve been cryin’ confidin’
Come to me so we both can feed
Oh Baby I’m dyin’
You’re leavin’ me cryin’
And I don’t understand
But you won’t believe
Oh
Hey
Won’t you believe in me
I tried to make you see
That we were born to be
Why don’t you come and share your frustration?
Nothing’s perfect we’ve always seen
Pulling hair as we scream in vexation
God this world’s just filled with greed
Won’t you have faith in me?
Oh Baby can’t you see?
That you were made for me
No
Won’t you have faith in me?
Won’t you have faith in me?
Our love was meant to be
Have faith in me

Once Bitten
She had known that
Falling for him
Could do this to her
Which is why she had
Steered clear of the rapture
Everyone else fell into
Because once she loved
She committed with everything
And to not have it returned
In a way that felt mutual
By touch and communication
Was catastrophic for her
(Violator – Depeche Mode, Full Album)
Unbidden Need
She might be the salve for his wounds
But, her’s were wounds he could feed
(Mine – Cows)
Zombie
It at last emerged from its crypt
As the dark of night descended
But it was not craving brains
More a palate yet untended
Her Point Of View
His Point Of View
Mirror Mirror
(Dracula – Tame Impala)
(Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis)
Bite Me
“In the right way.”
(Assassin – Sultan Shepard)
The Gift
Terms
Uneasily, she turned away to hide her feelings as he began to approach her.
She didn’t like how people played games and inflicted the wrong kind of hurt.
Caught Up In A Frenzy
She grabbed both sides of the front of his shirt, pressing against the heat of his chest with her forearms and hands clenched – rocking him slightly as his dense weight barely swayed from her subtle yet emphatic grappling.
“What are you to me?” she demanded fiercely, but quietly. “What can you – what are you willing to be?!”

Devotion

Priority
While she had wanted to travel externally
There were places unexplored internally
Hell’s Chambers
“If I could get beyond these barriers, ‘Hell-Yes!’ I’d want to be ‘set free!'”

(Multiple meanings)
Chosen
Teach me your desires so that
I may give you what you need
Freeing you from anguish
So we both may fully feed
Trials Of Fealty
She began to see that this was The Test:
Every man before had used up her best
And then rejected her as failed to match
Let alone surpass capabilities provided
So perhaps this is why she was stripped:
Because only the right man would prove
His ability to rule well by her side by
Helping her fight to regain her vitality
Of Milk & Honey
It was interesting…she had to now think abstractedly to retain any sanity, noting that when she felt herself more ready and welcome, the thorns sprouted thicker around her castle – as if the surrounding garden’s wild roses had become very fond of her, and as a result, were determined to let no man near her without him proving his worth by overcoming their obstacles.
She could only allow herself to muse and wonder at their tendency, recognizing their protection’s validity as lesser men fled the scene, for she had become too afflicted by melancholy to risk endulging entrapment’s grieving.
And the enchantment’s spell did not seem to care that she was starving as it maintained its strength by drawing too much energy from her body.
(WAY2U – Texture)
Devotion
She would rather tear her own castle apart than ever turn against him.
(You Are Mine – MDH)
My Love,
“I feel you on the other side.
Do not let the inner conflict tear you apart.
I do not understand everything, but be at peace.
Shhh…
Let the light be your guide.
Let it guide you safely home to me.”
(Fire – Two Feet)
Ghosts In The Machine
He sought for ways to connect with her through virtual reality experiences.
(You Shine Tonight – Tony El Campeon)
The Difference
Day vs. Night
Sense of Him
How it affected
And influenced
Were differentiated
By degree intensity
(Lose Control – Orion Classic & Aziel & Arthur)
Inner Conflict
Self-isolating has been key to survival by staying light on one’s feet and less trackable.
To love leaves marks and imprints, tracing stories upon the firmament.
Yet without love life is empty – lacking meat’s sustenance.
(Bad Liar – MC-DG – Jams Julius)
“Hunger’s Kingdom” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, October 31, 2025
Come, my love
Let us feed now
Place your healing
Hands upon my body
Help reshape my form
To its pleasing beauty
Let me keep your soul
Warm after its freezing
Let us learn to encourage
The wild in hearts’ beating
As we scale the heights
No one dares to mention
We have been taught to fear
What’s right in our intentions
Afraid we’d shatter luck
If looked into the mirror
But we’ve proven truths
Beyond limited scholars
Come now, my love
It’s time we overrule
