Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

When it rains-it pours-yes it does

And when it snows it becomes bitter cold
...

My address 'tis 41 West 25th Street-
I am living my dream in New York State...
'Tis my very own: 'Show Place'...
My 'Gracious Home'-my fate;
...

Did you know
That there is a Firmamant
Between us?
Amid silent box springs
...

It's the in between...
...Before the now
After the today...
...Where i am at peace
...

...The Valley Swallow...
...Nears the Country Wren...
...Blessing it's soft wings...
...Near Emerald Isle Glen...
...

Hidden regions of the Soul...
Emulate the shine of starry night...
Lending to a curtsy and bow--
The Light flows ever bright;
...

Its a captivating song and dance-
A seduction of thrills sublime...
Its what Lola wants-she gets-
Throughout the annuls of time;
...

I am a Phantom of the opera
My breeze it unties the air
I have blue whispered vison's
And some very long silver hair
...

It can be in the roll of the dice - oh happy day! ! !
As in, perhaps, more than one address...
Anyway you look - it is a huge gamble...
When speaking of Pamela and this filthy mess;
...

They call themselves Warriors...
But believe drugs and greed are their core
A conspiracy(ring) of like minded for too many years
Who always seem to want much, much more;
...
