Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

You are the icing on my cake...

The thrill of them all...
...

I was compelled back to the cul de sac-
Located in Marine View hills-
Back to your early happy childhood...
Memories of those days are with me still;
...

Did you perhaps attend my Springtime class?
Participating flushed and imbued from past silences?
Or are you in the mountains now?
Masked in the rocky crags of camouflage?
...

Sunshine and Roses they make us smile-
As do the soft Springs blossoming trees-
Bringing us total delight-ever so bright...
Happiness can be found in Springs most glorious breeze;
...

Oh ye of little faith
Denying the grqce of forgiveness
Erasing your compassion
And turning in the opposite
...

Serendipity it came calling--
Rolling in the clover oh so green...
Glory and joy danced in sheer delight--
With the wind blowing 'cross the scene;
...

It goes with me in Eternal Belief-
The greatness of your Immortal Hand...
You who created this Universe and ALL...
You who 'tis poised tall in Divinitys Stand;
...

Spring bid her adieus...
With but one more teary rain;
The following day each window-
Was already pulsing with hints of summer;
...

Busy trying to keep--
My mind going...
To hide your absence...
I pick stars from--
...

</>My shores are all but gone now...
Time has claimed my sands
Tears i have cried o'er Love that has died
My waves ebb and flow now on command;
...
