Songs, Where Demons Tread

“I Wanna Be With You” (Folk Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 20, 2026

(Intro guitar)

I can’t stand the distance
Been too far away from you

There’s lot’s that we are missin’
I know you know it’s true

And every day I’m wishin’
We could start over again

But the world just keeps on spinnin’
And I’m here without my friend

(Guitar with beat, light banjo, and open folk violin)

And every day’s a highway
Where I long to see your face

I’m hopin’ you’ll come my way
And the world will fill with grace

Weather rain or sunshine
All I need is your embrace

The mountains high to valleys low
You’re the memory I trace

(Big bass and open folk violin carry with guitar and occasional deep blow jar)

So if your happy or your sad
Hon I’ll be the one for you

You know that together
Well there’s nothin’ we can’t do

The sun will rise the stars will fall
And the heavens shine brand new

Our lovin’ is the gold mine
So I sing this song for you

(Outro all instruments filling to the end’s fade)

I caught a passing snippet of a dream interaction as I was waking this morning, where a young folk singin’ man like John Denver played on a big wooden guitar and was slow-roll pick-strummin’ his strings smoothly. I added in an open tic-a-tac beat sometimes joining at transitional points and other instruments. He started the song for me to carry on through to here and add my own lyrics, as well as gentle shifts and the above. Thanks friendly folk singer for giving me a start to another sweet song for the man I love.

In Her Defense

Candid Corvid Productions

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.

My Love, “Reach For Me” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

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

A Woman's Plight, Myths & Legends, Where Demons Tread

Ever, My Love, It’s Always Been You

Candid Corvid Productions

She had been searching…

Gods, for too many centuries long – how she’d been searching!

But she had only caught brief glimpses of him while Milenia called her home ever since the eruption between their worlds had cast them far apart from each other.

They had made a promise that binds before time’s dilation had shifted as it often does to new delineations.

Yet, they had encountered barriers causing such anguished despair as they fought their way to rediscover and at last keep it.

And then, she had found a method – a prospective way to bring him forward into their sharing a new reality.

First, she synced with a host body – though she had had to struggle along its growing years to remember why she had chosen to be born into its reality after conjoining.

She did recall that the eyes are windows to the soul, and so she would search for him in other men’s eyes – though she could not remember why or what she was looking for.

She just remembered a feeling…

And she kept trying – but with no success.

But then, one day, she heard a voice that infiltrated her illusions and reawoke her essence.

And her core felt a recognition that she remembered that she had fought so hard to believe in.

Could it be that her most beloved had found his own way back to her?

And was there still time for their reunion and co-reawakening?

Where Demons Tread

Hon,

Candid Corvid Productions

There are some things that make me feel strong reactions, but I don’t want the reactions’ influences.

I want to know and understand you better.

I want you to know and understand me better.

But if we speak about important things to both of us here, misunderstandings can too easily happen.

And, we don’t have privacy.

Therefore, this forum limits our communication.

I would like us to have another room with a clear view of each other – and nothing filtering or causing distortion between us.

Can you bridge for me?

Can we go some place together where we can have and take time without interruption to get to know each other better?

Heaven’s Gate

Candid Corvid Productions

Along the river where willows part
Lying on a blanket blessed by stars

He wrapped his body around hers
Sinking to depths embracing love

Her eyes spilling over tears of relief
Mirrored his request to never leave

A promise both gave in bonding
Their souls through mortal coils

“Truly, Madly” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 7, 2025

My Love
Come as you are
We don’t need perfection

Baby
Come as you are
Cut through distraction

I need you to see
Everything you already
Mean to me

My biggest regret
Is time wasted
Between us

When we could have been
Together building trust

And honestly
I need you closer
Than ever

I’m glad we’ve had time
To figure out where we stand

But I missed you in the holidays
Not holding my hand

Its a New Year now
Let’s ride this horse
To town

We can share the reins
From slow walk to
Gallops insane

Come on Baby
No need to impress
You’re already the best

Anything you wanna give to me
Help me ease into it and
I’ll welcome it gladly

Hey, Baby

Candid Corvid Productions

“Once we get to know each other better in person, our interactions will be smoother.

Because we are both sensitive and caring accommodators, we will be figuring out how to get along well together more rapidly than is usual in others’ beginning relationships.

I look forward to getting to know you more face to face – sharing our ‘perfectionisms’ to ‘spicey flaws’ – and hope you’ll hurry up and get yourself home to me tout sweet so that we can get our life together started.”
