Hesitant Hearts
“Thinking Of You” (Song)
By Athena Stairs – June 15, 2026 Early AM
Don’t tell me that it’s too soon or late
No I can’t hesitate
Oh I just can’t wait for you
Every day it’s in my way
Oh I contemplate
But there’s no debating my love for you
Ooh
What should I do?
Feelin’ so blue
Don’t debate
It’s too late when you turn around
No solid ground where love used to be
Arms waiting for you

Upon Points Of View
“Selfish and selfless are dependent.”
Mmmmmm, Yum-my!
“Finally bathing clean, to step out of the shower and dry off with a crispy towel reeking of cigarette ash!”
Circumstance
The trust she had given freely had retracted into severe caution.
Four Months
“To get a few free moments to change the batteries in my keyboard.”
Systems Check
Quail-Eeeee-Pohhhhs!!!
“LEO”

Sarcasm’s Nod
“Oh, you can wait.
You’ve waited this long…”
Raised Hands
“‘Any way the wind blows…’
‘Whatever brings you pleasure.'”
Tortoise And Hare
“‘Don’t think I don’t care’ becomes irreverently-irrelevant with the turning of a tale’s tail.”
AlleGory
“The sharpest teeth doth grind their worth – becoming flat and brittle without gristle and bone to sink their heft’s mettle into.”
A Healer’s Heart
Lives for love.
How To Spot A Rip Current
When Powerless,
“One can still find hidden power.”
Example Of A Riptide
Belief Can Take Many Forms
“Even if one is only able to barely cling to one’s integrity.”
The Ringer
He put her through the same trials that others had done before.
But she refused to do the same to him.

What blessings bestowed to be granted a visit with the child one more time!

Matriarch Treatise
“Had she seen how much she and I were alike?
Kindred spirits in how we valued and prized family.
Did she also foresee that I would walk the lonely road for much of my life?”
(The Love I Have For You – Colton Dixon)
My Love,
We do not need to cut off pieces of our selves to be with each other.
Back When
“I remember the place held such mysteries, and how nature seemed brimming and inviting.
But then, one day many years later, everything seemed flat – and expelled me.”
Hidden
She couldn’t let him see it.
No.
She couldn’t just give her self away.
But inside, she begged.
Yes.
Inside, she begged.
I Try To Flex,
“But this is intolerable ‘cruelty.'”
Choke Hold
“The air filter draws in more fumes, and the boxes absorbed so much..
Inside cabinets in kitchen and bathroom…
Inside closet and flowing thrrough any wall opening and door/windows opening.
So much for this being a non-smoking community.
The clogging stench of ash tray reek is suffocating.
I feel quite illl near to vomiting, now frequently.
I need to leave – escape to better lodgings.
Yet, still, I keep unpacking and sorting.
Don’t people throw away everything once it’s exposed like this?
I can’t, but keep on dealing with this..”
(Title of multiple meanings)
The Snag
“Flipped my hand so grasped Q-Tip (TM) went flying.”
Sure
“Everything’s Heaven…
Or Hell…
Or something in between…
But what about outside of the boundaries?”

By Athena Stairs – June 12, 2026
I’ll be your back up singer
Come at beck and your call
I’ll take your mind on siesta
While I’m givin’ my all
I’ll be your bar room maiden
Pick you up when you fall
But I won’t stand by waitin’
Without gettin’ a call
And if you’re cruisin’ for a bruisin’
I’m the one they can’t beat
And if it’s romance that you’re needin’
Sweep you off of your feet
But if it’s time you’re a’ wastin’
Shakin’ white as a sheet
There’ll be no love that we’re makin’
Without heat for your feet
And when the stars are a-risin’
After daylight has set
Your keepin’ eyes on horizon
Lookin’ for that sure bet
I’m worth the risk you’ll be takin’
Bet you can’t wait n’ see
“Cause babe they’ll be no forsakin’
When you’re here next to me
So get your back up baby
Yeah get up off of that seat
I’ll be your back up baby
A life with me’s really neat
So lift your chin up honey
‘Cause I’ve got a nice treat
It’s what you’ve dreamed of darlin’
Ain’t nobody like me
I’ll get your back up baby
So get your back up baby
Yeah step on back up honey
I’ve got your clover luck love
Set aside just for you
Ain’t no one else above
Just saved for you
From Heaven above
