Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

Back when the saying was:
'If you're going to San Francisco -
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair'
Back when the English Music Explosion -
Helped shape the music everywhere.
...

You were once the Music of my Life-
Each chord played rapidly one after one-
An arousing Arpeggio of sensual delight-
'Neath a once blossoming Erotic Sun...
...

An ancient river carries your name-
In silver caverns so deep-
A Princess sits crying her heart out-
In the depths of sorrow, she continues to weep.
...

I kept the ticket stub-

......And everything else from-
...Our last theater date;
...

...Of all the moments, that i could ever savor,
This TIME, it would be spent with you-
Courting our: High Esteem, together,
Dressed up in love, are we two...
...

...Where beauty flies...
Wisdom cries
...Near the runes...
Upon the ancient tomb's
...

On my way to the Villa Jovial,
The Summer Mist Christening-
The grass with dew,
Stood a marble pillar standing,
...

I remember The Calla Lily
The Field full to running over
And my most beloved
Running without a care
...

The night beats


It's heart in
...

It is the season of new beginnings...
Spring removes her winter robe
And fades into rainbows of hope;
The sun shines its headlights into April-
...
