Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

I should be more cordial
You know- take the nice lane
Not mention your darkness
Or your endless spreading of pain
...

Affected by airs of pretense...
Haughty companion of pride
Promises of Rainbows Pot Of Gold
Ruthless designs inside;
...

Her voice reverberates in the Night air
And it is swallowed up
By those who need
To know...
...

I am yelling Lucinda...
Asking you to open up your ears--
For you have been deaf far too long--
For way too many years;
...

I remember a shirtless child
And shredded jeans
A pony tail as long as forever
And Mexican Jumping Beans
...

In this still
Winter chill
Upon this sharp
Dewy morn
...

! Lost raindropps in the snow
Covered in ice cold regret
Never-ever to be found
In the chill of Winter-Set
...

You treat my words
As if they were Sacred Text
Kneeling in Reverence
At my un-holy adjectives
...

Memory
Plays the keys
Of my heart
...

The whisper of your name crossed the night
In a gentle breeze a reminder became mine-
O'er this star spangled galaxy of midnight
Long past decades O' time;
...
