Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

The evening wrapped herself
Neatly around my inquisitive mind
Dimming somewhat
The well-used Sun-light of day
...

A broken heart
Lays scattered;
Strewn shards of
Jagged sharp edges
...

When Golden Ages just fly-
Fly-fly-high away...
And Saturn just passes by-
By-by-into the sky-to stay;
...

Filled to the full of enuff yet
Deluged by after thoughts;
Tantilizing memories of
Affluent days of erotica;
...

Carefully i tiptoe heedful not to allow-
My Cat astrophe to step on or irritate
Your Dog mas!
As many disasters are borne of
...

Destinies are up in the air, daily now
Speeches with consequences prevail
Dragonflies now replace the lofty Monarchs
While warring word factions, still assail;
...

Did the white lightening strikes, alarm you?
Was the Thunders plowing, too deep?
Breaking, near to the sound barrier
...

The Midnight Train to nowhere is boarding-
My life-long luggage has already been brought on-
The tracks of non-mobility are ready and waiting-
To sings its droning railroad song;
...

Vigilance once tempered in solitude--
Brazen honed in strife--
Casualties of demonic spawns---
Slice bitter with the knife;
...

Through pastel winds of evermore
I blaze my way
Upward and onward
Climbing impossible mountains of chagrin
...
