Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

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

Back handed hints-oh how they now abound...
Just rollin' on in with the tornadic wind...
Tossed about-with most tremendous clout...! ! !
Back to where it had once been! ! ! ;
...

So breath-takingly dressed in Earthen garb--
Moss and dandelions for her hair---
A chocolate brown-evening gown--
With accessories so rare;
...

I have been advised of having tunnel vision...
You know when you are near blind as a bat?
Worried and in fear-for my eyes my dear?
Nah, my nose works and i'm sure i smell a rat**! ;
...

Tranquil seas they oft' beckoned to me~

From the deep fathoms yes they did call~
...

Enthralled in his easy chair of desire
He ever slowly unbuttons the night
His wanton fingers fumble to work the zipper
At last, opening up-an uninhibited delight!
...

It was a ceremony of Sparrows
Their Psalms sung on bare branches
Of Fall
Breaking, 'tis the dawn, through my frosty window
...

Shadows cry in loneliness this day...
As dusk peeks in, for but a short while
No sanctuary for the immigrants of noon-just yet
Soon darkness arrives with no denial;
...

It started with random ramblings
So alone i would talk to the wall
My body giving in to wear and tear
And from my eyes the tears would fall
...

Celebrating our common humanity
i am inspired by a seemingly endless divinity
Drawing on the information of my muse
Pen in hand i write of an 'imagined' eternity;
...
