Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

</></Oh such bitter sweet regret-
Comes the breaking of dawn...
'Tis much too soon, my darling
For you shall soon be gone;
...

I want for nothing
But buttercups
And
The illume of
...

Socket taps
Electrical gaps
And whatever in between
No privacy
...

Across the mountains of once believed...
Where Good Shepherds Lead Their Flock-
I found a sweetheart residing there-
Who ignored the hands of the clock;
...

I bid adieu to my wandering mind-
For i must focus on today...
Caught in between the rise and fall of wellness
And its various shades of grey;
...

...My thoughts are: ' Blue On Blue'
They gravitate in my minds eye this day-
...With remembrances of all the heartache...
And the day, we went our seperate ways!
...

In the twinkling of an eye you appeared...
From out of nowhere or so it seemed-
Walking in to my turned upside down world...
Tell you darlin'-it was surreal-just like a dream;
...

God has left his fingerprints
In Boston town this day...
Where everywhere is centered there
As seen in teardrops of those who pray;
...

Before i knew thine handsome face
Ignorant i'd been in the dark
Trembling finger tips caressed my weary brow
Leaving a golden embellished mark
...

</>The years are weighing me down most beloved
For i am but a shipwreck of a woman, my dear
Clinging to mid-lifes glorified Golden
Yet letting go of agony's bitter tears;
...
