Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

Peeking through the yellowed drape
A ray of hope shines in.
...

Love and light beamed down
Upon the city of Athen's
Helenic warriors armed for war
A Thousand Trojan Soldiers
...

Where Moon and stars collide
....Deep in the afterglow...
Wrapped like embellished word's
...Where Super Nova's Grow...
...

Common sense has taken it's leave - it seems
The brazen have lost all self control...
Shooting their poison arrows into our face's
With the continuation of an EVIL witches role;
...

When she left Minnesota...
She left behind her North Star- - -
Heading in the direction of the Aurora Austrailis
She did, indeed, come very far;
...

The days warm wraps itself...
Secure in this heat---
Cozy and at ease-in the sun...
But my yawn betrays me--
...

We are as a heated sauna...

...Your lips and mine are one
...

The Doorman 'tis the guardian of the building-
As the traffic enters in near herds-
Raising a smile is so much easier-
Than waxing poetic 'neath an umbrella of words;
...

Mon amour-'tis such an exqisite night-
Peeking through the fluff of the clouds...
Enveloping stars reach out from afar...
While the love crickets serenade out loud;
...

You were but a diaphanous vapor just passing through...
A nameless enigma suspended in time...
With transparent emotions afloat in my atmosphere-
A most brillant performer in the silence-a grand mime;
...
