At The Alter
You are more than silence
More than a gallant retreat
More than self absorption’s
Collapse in despair’s deceit
You are a garden under all
Entwining hearts by a call
You are a sacred reminder
Love deserves rediscovery
(Your Song – Elton John)
My Love,
“I cry so hard when I think I’ve lost you.”
(The Very Thought Of You – Nat King Cole)
Baby,
“We’ve got a problem…how do we overcome our shyness with eachother?”
(Open Arms – Journey)
Dearest,
I see you
I forgive you
I love you
I believe in you
Darling,
“Do you know what and how much you mean to me?
It’s what’s inside of you, Baby…
It’s the core of your truth.”
Christmas
“A time of thankfulness, joy, warmth, and comfort.
Full circle, I get to see my children and their lives expanding.
The only thing missing is you, my love.
I hope that your day is what your best dreams are made of.”
Dearest,
“I have a gift for you.”
Merry Christmas, Baby
“I hope your holiday is perfect for you.”
Dear Friend,
For all you have overcome
And for how you’ve grown
You’re my heart’s champion
My greatest venerable hero
Mirror of my most sacred beliefs
Bringing love into manifestation
(You Give Good Love – Whitney Houston)
“Here With Me” (Song)
Baby
Come
Home
Show me
The way
Every day
I need you
Guiding me
Get inside
My reverie
Because
You need
To see
How much
You mean
To me
In every
Touch
Sparking
Energy
Pure
Ecstacy
Nothing
Before
Compares
To this
Rarity
Got me
Falling
On knees
Begging
But I
Don’t let
You see
Because
I’m a
Queen
No no
You can’t
Get away
With it
Oh no
Baby
I’m so
Into it
Need to
Tell you
Without
Words
Come
Closer
Closer
Still
Until
You know
You know
You know
How much
I want to
Give you
Everything
No more
Hiding
Just
Reviving
In our
Own
Dreamstate
Paradise

Dear Heart,
In my mind’s eyes
I’ve seen you there
Walking in ways
Only I recognize
Paralleling where
My own haunting
Takes ease in
Reminiscence
I hope that your day
Was what you hoped
And that your dreams
Bubble effervescence
(My One And Only Love – John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman)
My Love,
“I hope your day is wonderful.”
Where I Find You (Song in progress)
By Athena Stairs, December 21, 2025
I’ve been searching
For a way to replace
Somewhere that
I can show my face
These rare moments
Come alive with you
Oh
They come alive
With you

Baby,
I don’t need to show them up
Everybody has their reasons
I just need you in my life
Holding me every season
Dear Friend,
“I was delayed…”
Dear Friend,
I just dreamed of you and
You were sharing thoughts
Strange-to-me reasons for
What, why, when & where
It was clear you were driven
& you wanted my agreements
When I understood your intent
It all made much deeper sense
I realized then you were mine &
So began kissing your forehead
Over and over and over again &
Then your face & then your lips
I have always wanted this bliss
Your heart & soul’s redemption
Why the heck did I
Wake up from this?
I am going back to sleep
To try to find you, again!
Dear Friend,
“I am proud of and for you.”
(Saint – Forester ft. Shallou Remix)
My Love,
In moments, I ask myself why?
Why have I been so injured by an accident?
And then, why have I been injured, again, by another?
Why am I now so prevented from external physical and mental manifestation in this material plane?
And why am I blocked from making music by calculating these blissful mathematical numerics, which take longer to identify and capture while my brain is on fire and hurting – even in just trying to navigate the simplest beginnings through eyes that can only dream now of how my life could be?
The only answer I can find is that I am supposed to wait for you.
For if I had all of my facilities, I would be wired by now to keep running and launch myself far beyond where you could reach me – so trained have I become in thinking that I must find ways to be content to be alone for the rest of my life – and so afraid, apparently, have I become to allow myself to believe in the truest art of loving again.
Yet, I would search the world, looking for you in every large to small venue and turning over every stone for any trace if I knew for sure that I had the right to – as well as had I the finances to support such a venture, which I lack, and so therefore find myself stuck in place here relegated to being my own restricted lady-in-waiting.
And know that there would be nothing and no one and no thing to stop me seeking for your soul’s truth and shaking it out from you up to the surface to be able to hear you say that you love me and for us to claim our rightful destiny together if I knew that this was what you truly desired and wanted.
Always
You (Light Up My Dark – Monolink)
Dear Friend,
I see so many versions of you around me
That I am becoming even more cautious
It feels like I’m being tease-tormented
To lure me io make the wrong choice
I hope that you’ll understand
That I will need confirmation
When,
“Will you?”

“Flow Through”
(Flow – Crooked Colours)
Song repost from January 2023.
Dear Friend,
“I wish you were here so that I could learn to stop evading and get to build trust with you.”
My Love,
Do not disappear with the dawn
Instead, stay – stay with me here
Dear Friend,
“I remember.”
(Telomeres – Sleep Token)
(The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face – Roberta Flack)
Dear Friend,
What is it like from the other side?
I’m not sure that I’ve experienced it.
(Come Sail Away – Styx)
Dear Friend,
It doesn’t seem right or valid
To need you at the levels I do
But maybe you need me, too
For similar bonding reasons
Yes,
“We are aligned, Baby…”
Sleep Well: The Wind Rises Clip
Dear Friend,
Don’t suffer for me
Just be here for me
Dear Friend,
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to give
Say Yes
How do we heal our wounding?
By kisses and mutual indulging?
Sincerity
Let’s figure out what
Works for you and me
You’ve No Idea (Song)
By Athena Stairs, December 14, 2025
What I could do when
I get my hands on you
First – just to touch you
Ah, the wonder of ease!
And then imagination
Is however we please

If I Were Honest (Song)
By Athena Stairs, December 14, 2025
Baby,
There’d be Hell to pay
For you walking away
You see,
You’ve put a harder load on me
Where our love could set us free
So tell me,
How are you gonna make it up to me?
I don’t need a huge display – just honesty
Stop being hard to get
I am tired of it!
We deserve so much better than this
What’s the excuse?
Too complicated?
Too confused?
Do you think I can’t handle it?
This lock isn’t that hard to tumble
But I need your help to release it
Stop teasing me and
Get right down to business!

My Dearest
Know that I am thinking of you
When your birthday arrives
And sending you my love
