(((Written In The Stars))) Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

O Voiceless comes a memory-

Through my makeshift neuron file-

Engineered by claims of pleasures past-

Once broken and in total denial;



Chained to a bitter cold winter...

Where many hopes are slain-

'Twas never quite mended-

And at the break of New Dawn - never the same;



We revisit this voiceless memory...

Where sticks and stones had their way! ! !

'Cross the creeks of the Zodiac Valley-

Where the chained nightmares have had their say;



Where constellations Of Leo and Libra above...

Fight tooth and nail for Virgo's hand-

Until Scorpio - on a mission of true devotion...

Takes a most star-studded stand;


'Come hither my sweet one'

Out of the Galaxies Mist...

'Forget, forget those cold bitter memories'

'That were left with your last kiss'



Embrace, embrace now my Starshine-

A new memory with a voice that does not fail...

Coming unto you - 'Sweet Star' - brand new-

Cleverly hidden from view - 'neath ebons- Starlit Veil;
