Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

Prepared and ready for the heat...
You could dupe the Pope...!
You-a tasty treat-complete--
A confidence man that is no dope;
...

'Antiscipation' isn't that a Carly Simon song?

It needs to resolve itself into an answer... 'NOW'...
...

The frozen water tears me down-

For i am upon thin ice...
...

Rolling in the gray-black -
Dust of another axe to grind-
Fresh graphite-leaden
Grounds-
...

In swirlded the stardust...
From the corridors of the galaxies gates-
Dancing in joy and unison (a ballet of comets) -
Super Nova's of yesterdays fate.
...

White walls and steel gurneys-
Antiseptic fills the air-
Outside the OR in the waiting room-
The night whispers a familys heart-felt prayer;
...

Mystical Morning Song came whispering
It's melodious rhythmic sounds
For the spring time lays in the Garden's
Of lovers floral bouquet abed in the ground
...

It's them back alley wanderin's again-
And i got them sneak around blues
Your footsteps on gravel-crackle heavy
Cigarettes with DNA-foot prints from your shoes;
...

Using her guile to her advantage...
Playing a much younger part-
Many believe her yo be but maybe 38-
When she is truly 57 at heart;
...

It was in the cathedral of open dreams
The firmament, we call the sky...
Nearby birds were on the wing
My eyes, met yours, with but a sigh;
...
