Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

In the melancholy, of my mind today
Tucked, but not hidden away
Is the 'Blue on Blue' of my entire life
With the sorrows, of my yesterdays.
...

You were like the gift of Spring--
A bouquet of Red Roses and Babys Breath...
You rescued me from an empty sea...
Saving me from a loveless death.
...

As if to dare fate...
Possibly courting disaster...
i paint the town RED;
Enebriated by the--
...

Empty hours accumalate -
And take over;
Nothing ventured and definately-
Nothing gained...
...

Time flies Phillip, you know-
I think black and white will work just fine-
Many people have been out to make their Mark...
Everyone is involved this time...
...

O' treasure of my heart simply linger...
Where sweet memories have gone astray
For, i need desperately to see your image-
Through these lost neurons of yesterday;
...

...A vision of Splendour...
Cast light beams through ebony sky
...Radiant Wonder of Wonders...
Of the days of by and by
...

Whether or NOT its a Bluff-
Makes little difference to ALL concerned-
We MUST Always Be Prepared-nevertheless...
As if we're not careful we might get burned! ;
...

The lily white brillance
Of the silken full moon
Engages the shadows
In the alleys of hardened goons;
...

Reality bites with its wicked sharp teeth
Yet, another day of emptiness spent
Eating me alive with its caustic erosion
Each moment- another hour despondent;
...
