“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

A Return To Innocence, Reclamation, Where Demons Tread

My Love’s Muse

Candid Corvid Productions

I know we are both wrecked
And armor has layered thick

Yet we can unpack slowly
Or even cut straight into it

Dismantling past injuries
Chinks in mail adhered to

When had no other choices
But to adopt others’ retinue

We know the warriors creed
To never let down our guard

But you and I were born for more
Than bloody-battled fealty tartars

We can take the skills we’ve learned
Weave coloured paradise paradigms

For you, for me, and the world
To restore belief in love again

Oh say you want this with me
Let’s embrace this life’s gaety!

In daylight spiraling galaxies
At night tending our wounds

Awaken, My Love, Awaken

Candid Corvid Productions

Like Orpheus and Eurydice
Lovers entwined in tragedy

You and I have sung songs to
Awaken what was lost to death

Only this time, my love, my heart
Sings you back into human form

Undead, arise my beloved intended
Ever art thou of the noblest crowned

And though I look over – for I must
To ensure you are still pacing beside

You shall not fade to aggrieved destiny
Follow me, follow me, follow me home

To the mundane where love still roams
Come home, my life, my hope, my world

Be at peace, come rejoice and be heard
For ever art thou my deliverance’s boon

We shall trace our names upon Eden’s trees
As its blooms are restored by love’s eternity

And we shall not want no matter sacrifice
For we‘ll find our souls’ promises redeemed
