Never Fade (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

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

A Woman's Plight, Male Bonding, Where Demons Tread

This Side Of The Veil

Candid Corvid Productions

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

A Woman's Plight, Where Demons Tread

The Trouble With Love

Candid Corvid Productions

Ok, so here she was, sobbing for being unable to reach out to and hold him.

No way to assuredly contact, so just hoping he was listening.

Can’t go and directly petition because not even confirmed what they are to each other.

Yet, in person immediately defaulting automatically to high self suppression because the situation is so important that her system overloads and freezes.

Let alone, it has never been safe to express her deepest feelings in person about loving a man.

How to be authentuc in person on such a profound level?

Especially exposed out in the open?

What if she suddenly burst out into tears and crumpled?

Was it acceptable to fling herself forward into hugging him?

What does one say simply when entire internal worlds press in wanting to rush out through a body for greeting and welcoming?

How to reach out and touch without clear permission given?

And then, how to unthaw one’s system to respond in any measure to match right timing?

It’s an equation that she had never before experienced – and therefore, could not ensure any perfection.

“Hunger’s Kingdom” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

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

Songs, Where Demons Tread

Falling Leaves (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, October 29, 2025

Oh I’ve been wakin’ up
Under Autumn leaves in Fall
If only I could bring the summer back

‘Cause I was so much braver
When thought I could look forward
To a partner who would have my back

I’m wondering
What do we do about love?
The stars and heavens above
Are waiting

In firelight
All I can see is you
And things that we have gone through
Want to hold you
It’s true

But if we can’t unite
And give this a try
Then winter is goin’ to bite

And I don’t know how
I get through each day
When I ache for you every night

And all this charade
Has been a parade
But its gotta give reality back

‘Cause if it’s a dream
It’s turnin’ obscene
And my heart is gonna have an attack

You see
For me these vibrant leaves
In spiral rhapsody
Remind me
In every way

And I know
That you belong in my arms
The farthest place from harm
Cause’ I told you
That I want you

And when I look ahead
And you’re still not here
An emptiness fills me up

And I don’t know how
To get through this life
Without hope to fill my cup

And if you stay away
What else can I say
But its clear that I’ve run out of luck

And there’s no way to think
If I start to drink
That it’ll do anything but suck

No consoling
Because (slowing to end)
You said you wanted me too

Longing’s desperation.

“Turn The Page” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, Octiber 16, 2025

You turn the page some
Even when not fun

And you always try to do better
And I love you all the more for it

I want to know you
Yes I adore you

But you’ve got your work cut out for you
Come say Hello while in my groove

And all the days and nights
We’re tossing turning

Could someday turn into
Our love that’s burning

If only we could find the way
I’d hold you in my arms each day

And everything we fought through pain
Once death in loss our hearts regain

So tell me how to reach for you
I’m falling

I know that we could see this through
My darling

And from this day ever more
Two hearts entwined they’ll sing of lore

And we can focus upon
Our just flying

Yeah
