Whatever you need to do
I will not hold you back
I just wish that
I could hold you
Keep emerging,
Don’t hold back
In The Waiting Room
Is disengaging the same
As freezing dissociation?
My mind does not want to
Be going in this direction
(Emergence – Sleep Token)
(Losing Control – Duke Dumont & Nathan Nicholson)
Dear Friend,
Let me hold you as
We lose ourselves
Where lovers meet
Mutual Consent
When two say I will
Shut doors open up
Restored to sacred
Reign of love floods
Dear Friend,
“Dance with me, like lovers do.”
Dear Alex
“Tomorrow, I meet with the surgeon’s office.”
“Seasonal Shift”
(U Got It Bad – Usher)
Dear Friend,
There is no perfect timing
Just moments for a chance
“Love Markers” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, October 13, 2025
Emotional wavelengths
Undulate erratically
Ebbing and flowing
Depths overwhelming
Reclamation losses
Signaling potentials
Adrift without an anchor
Rediscovering home

A to B
“We do have a hard time getting from…”
“Puenk!”
The incense stick got snagged from the car vent and made a sound as it got flicked into “puenking” right off!
“Growing Family”

And Then,
“Semi-peed on the potty pad.
Sheesh.”
So Many Things
“The new dogs tore up some of my roses, which need watering and tending.”
Retreat
She didn’t like her heart being exposed for the world to see.
There’s A Fork
“In my car…
At least it’s not in the road!”
(Ah-Haaaa!)
Love’s Alignment
Someday,
“I will let out a mighty scream of pain when my right hip joint at last repositions itself correctly.
But though it keeps indicating through a crazy spasming pain, this will likely not happen yet, today.”
Going To Extremes
“It’s a consistency now after mopping floors that the next day or so my muscle attachments spasm and twist, attempting to dislodge shoulder and hip joints from their hitches.”
“Making Due”
Confusion
“Those were my words/my life…”
So Many Tasks
“To get out the door – OMGawd!”
But,
“I can’t afford Kleenex.”
(I Love – Chris Brown)
Puffy Eyes
“It’s better to cry over love, than over injuries.”
Past Loves
Though they’d deeply hurt her, she couldn’t really hate them – for ultimately, they just did what men often do.
Oh,
How she wished it were real
And that he’d come to her
Morning Flight
Unable to bear the grief of his leaving, she fled to get engrossed into her studies.
(Now We Are Free / Honor Him – Hans Zimmer Synthesia Piano Tutorial by Jason Fervento)
There Go I
Of all triumphs
In all of the lands
A man’s soul reclaimed
When he took his stand
Such wonder, such beauty the
Mundane cannot comprehend
But I who have lived lifetimes
Live for this name’s command
Trying To Slow Down
Insecurity
Gold & Crimson (Like My Veil)
Sun Candle
Flamingos In Flight
Self Control
Sobbing insecurity
Had been wrecking
Sometimes a person
Wants another person
So much that muscles
Clench coiled up tightly
And survival’s recovery
Requires disconnecting
Otherwise madness grips
From intensity of desiring
Prismatic Sunrays
Love Letters
It’s complicated
When unknown
She preferred to
Retreat to safety
When unsure if
She was desired
