Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

Opportunity

Closed door ahead-
New one opening up instead-
...

Wait a minute
What was this day about?
Going by so swiftly
Like a sail in the sun
...

Came a long forboding glance

From whence it 'twas creeping
In the shadows hidden lurking
...

...A Journal page empty
No remembrance -
...No reflection...
....Glaringly white...
...

O' such sweet surrender
As our time together 'tis nigh
Awaiting your eyes of loves Holy Baptism
And your ever gentle sighs;
...

The ancients tremble in anticipation
E'er wakeful to her gateways of fire
Restless winds of time surely could devour them
Will she be swallowed up in jealousy's mire?
...

Outcast of the Winter wind
A Rose fights for life and lingers on
But a bitter chill-has cast it's fill
And most of the gardens Roses are gone;
...

You awakened the very breath of me
Oh how it stirred
Caressed by your generous lips
Picture perfect passion without words;
...

Windmills spin
...As the wind swirls 'cross the plains
Our once Summer green fields-
.....Hydrated by Summer rain.
...

A shining coil of wind flaunted itself-
In a desperate ploy as the snake slid away-
While Goldfinches reach for the top of the tree-
A tinsel-eyed fish jumps the water in play...
...
