That we have suffered
And survived suffering
And continue surviving?
Category: Where Demons Tread
(Telomeres – Sleep Token)
Dear Friend,
My love for you softens me
But the pain contort-bends
Dear Friend,
“I broke down in training today while being worked on because of the pain I keep getting hammered by.
But toward the end of my turn to receive as learning, an image and sense of you lying next to me, opening your arms to me shocked me.
I wasn’t looking for you because I’ve been trying to stay neutral – but there you were for me.”
Wild Magic (Song)
By Athena Stairs, November 16, 2025
He’s drenched in it
I’ve got to help him
Better channel conduits
Taking good care of him
I need to learn his ways
Match up to syncopation
Gotta lift him up to reach
Higher levels’ expressions

King Of The Mist
Oh night time spirit of Elden white
Blessing revealed in bright sunlight
Wherefore have gone without a kiss?
Your courage my boon sorely missed

Dear Friend,
“I’m so tired…so very, very tired.”
My Love,
“They say that I shouldn’t – that I should maintain equality, if not demand status.
But I love indulging you.”

“Let’s Aspire” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, November 14, 2025
Oh secret smile shared with demure eyes
Angelic blessings can no longer disguise
Come and let me touch the Face of Love
Teeth like a cat’s voice smooth as a dove
Only a halo burning bright for pure Truth
Could survive Hell’s fire walls undeterred
Tranforming ash into heat’s molten desire
Wings of supernova stardust lift us higher

“The pressures of the years rapidly increasing from the accident’s fallout have produced pronounced silver strands to either side of my cheek bones – which I always thought would be cool, but the Crone is definitely getting to drink her fill.”
(Sinking to Atlantis – KOREmickey & Kung Fu Kenny)
Dear Friend,
“Where is the room for courtship and romance?
Is it enough of a start to have spoken our shared truths at distance?
I wore a mask today to protect my fellow healer students.
But doing so overheated my brain and recycled whatever I was fighting off so now I feel feverish.
So if, for example, we were to meet this evening, my instincts would be to turn you away to protect you.
Or…
The only other option would be to invite you in where we would instantly (hopefully) succumb to sleep together – and I would likely infect you.
Are we allowed to just cross that line and fall into natural rhythms together?
Why do I feel like I’ve always known you – as though we are tethered?”
Dear Friend,
“Is there something that I can do to make things easier for you?”
Me & The Void
Dear Friend,
I did not tell you this because
I didn’t want to seem boastful
But when I was provoked to
‘Go find the man I wanted,”
I had to acknowledge that
The one I wanted was you
Which hard-shocked me because
For so long I’d avoided this truth
(No Holding Back – HAEVN)
Dear Friend,
Of course I want you
I’ve always wanted you
I was just afraid to love you
Because it tugs on everything
You’re always on my mind and
Pulsing in rhythms of soul’s body
How do we get out of our own ways
And together, reach for The Divine?
(The Sea – HAEVN)
Dear Friend,
Do you think there must be a limit
On how much love’s shared between
Two consenting and committed adults?
Dear Friend,
“You were like me…
You gave more than everything.
And I love you all the more for it.”

Days As We Knew Them
She’d heard this evening that a suspected immense ship had come into range of their planet – and begged inwardly that he’d arrive to be with her as soon as possible, while they still had time left.
(Can’t Let Go – Tony El Campeon)
(I Just Found You – NOVRA)
Dear Friend,
“The pain wants me to push against and turn away from you now.
I might push, but I will hold my ground.
Even if the pain distracts me and I am slipping.”
(Oh, How I’ve Missed You – FoldingSky)
Dear Friend,
“When I think of having time with you once we’ve managed to crack this barrier between us, I think of so many good things – and I must admit, just snuggling with you and finally getting some sleep is high on my priority wish list.”
😉
(You Are Mine – MDH)
My Darling,
“Do you think that I expect perfection?
No.
I desire honesty – and that you no longer keep me waiting.
Whatever the challenges, we can work on solutions for them, together.
I love you and you love me.
We belong to and with each other, now.
No more of our being lonely.”
Role Reversal
(Title of multiple applications)
(What If – LZRD)
Dear Friend,
“In that moment, I was seized by all of my inhibitions, and one of them was the ingrained messaging of honoring your privacy – which, but – there you were, smiling!
But I was waiting for the clear “ok” signal of your directly approaching me – and was frozen solid in panic’s confusion as I saw you leave.
I didn’t know what was going on in your heart and mind, and desperately wished to give you what you needed.”
(Gratitude – Brandon Lake)
(Medieval Moonlight – Matthew Reid)
Dear Friend,
“I know we ‘know,’
But I didn’t know
I wish that we
Could clarify.”

Drift With Me
Never Fade (Song)
By Athena Stairs – November 5, 2025
Remember me
Do not fade
Though time has pulled you away again
Remember me
Do not fade
I’m here
You’re the reason I comprehend
Waiting
We’re always waiting
Debating
We’re always hesitating
Neither one to blame
Don’t let them own your flame
Someday you’ll cut that chain and we’ll reclaim home again
Struggle isn’t what you think
Just a trick in how you blink
A balance to be struck that claim’s your wings my friend
Remember
It’s our destiny to push beyond these boundaries
On sacred paths we’ve been tracing
Love’s grace will guide your heart to me
Keep walking straight by what you know
Emotions like waves have ebbs and flows
Remember
Do not fade
Know that you’re more than worthy
Remember
Do not fade
These fears are only worries
Remember
Do not fade, my love
Remember
Do not fade, you’ve won
Remember
Never fade for I walk beside you

This Side Of The Veil
How had the sun been gently
Yet brightly slant-glowing him
As if late morning but
When late afternoon?
How was that area then open
With time sharing rare view?
Now when she parked near it
People lounged in cars by her
Which seemed odd as she waited
For why were they there like her?
The place was always busy now and
If went closer pedestrians observed
As if they expected something
To happen from her presence
Everything had quick-shifted into
People always using the pathway
The doors seemed to have closed
Firmly barring his return entrance
