Where Demons Tread

Hon,

Candid Corvid Productions

How will I know that it is ok and safe to keep being myself around you?

I have always had to mask due to walking on eggshells around toxic critics trying to belittle me.

You are so important and represent so much that is important to me that it has brought forward such near-painful lockdown shyness!

Will you reach for and keep reaching for me to draw me out of my shell and reassure me?

Because I definitely want to be the one who does this too, for you.

Where Demons Tread

How I Feel About You

Candid Corvid Productions

There is a charge around my solar plexus
A place that has been my warning system

Only it flares and crackling-light bubbles
Like sparkling, popping-igniting fireworks

Yesterday we met a man who was like you
But was missing rare essential ingredients

He held out his hand to shake mine and I
Imagined at distance that it could be you

He kept glancing at me though married
And my gut energy was spiral-churning

So much closer my pulsing energy wanted
To have it actually be you in my life’s realm

I was glad that he finally took his leave
As I then looked for you in the evening

Because nothing and no one has ever set
My instincts alive connecting soul to body

Like feeling you could be here with me
Hard flips my being’s circuits embodied

“Change The Game” (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, January 22, 2026

I keep waiting in your
Time of heart’s debating
Baby you’ve got to be entwine

While we’re demonstrating
Days run by as wasting
What we could have thats divine

And you
Oh

I want you
Dont you know?

And all these revelations
Ache to claim temptation
I just want to make you mine

But even though you feel it too
Nothing that we say can prove
Unless you reach out for me and decide

And you
Our fantasies in real life should collide

And I
Feel terrified to let your heart inside

So we just keep on playing
Check mate darling I’m just sayin
Won’t you come to me and do this right?

Cause every day I’m losing ground
A solid stance no place is found
My love just keeps on calling in the dark

And you
We should never part

And I
Need you to show me how to start

(Rhythm goes on to build into a final clash shout of “HEEEY!”)

Earnest need’s tension in conflict to spark with KOTO-type background clacking sticks and calling out interweaving rhythms.

“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
