Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

A Tangerine sun glazed The Travis Vineyard
While the Deep Purple haze, just glowed
The aroma's from all of the picked grapes
Filled Napa's Colored-flavored show!
...

The mountains of moss grasping green ~
Hold tight to your agile form ~
Seducing you ever inward ~
Long past Dawns -
Early Morn.
...

Charity it found me
Faith it held me
...

Being blinded by my life
I take the back city alleys
Avoiding the harsh concrete jungle
Of highways and byways of past valleys
...

Nightfall always brings its own requiem...
As it rolls its sleeves down and tiptoes
Into the slumbering shades of ebon;
It has no half-light
...

He got lost in her baby blues...
And in her twist and turn curves
He became totally rapt by the sultry of her voice
Laid down in the humidity that is loves afterglow;
...

The intelligence of the heart
Is really all that matters
All the rest-wasted breath
'Tis but mindless chatter;
...

We've had enough, in fact, way too much
Your cruel streak has worn out it's 'welcome' stay
We are coming after you-yes, coming after you
We've talked it all out today;
...

Kevin keeps calling
With his camouflaged eyes
San Angelo housed
'Neath West Texas skies;
...

So brief the sunshines glow
The lavenders bloom
Or the dusks purple calm
Too quick is the gloom
...
