Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

Before your big brown eyes
My green eyes were always blue
Before the warmth of your arms
The cold of Seattle was all that i knew;
...

Without the boundless infinity of Springtime's sky?
Without my dandelion wishes
Without green embroidered stitches
Of this season of days gone by;
...

Here's to the Chameleon Queen Of verse
You're so gifted in rhyme & prose
A word smith with a haughty attitude
Yes, i viewed your 'reality' up too close;
...

Filled with the deep wine
Of my existance
I embrace my vegetation.
Growing aimlessly silent
...

O Voiceless comes a memory-

Through my makeshift neuron file-
...

She was a medley of synonyms
A jumble of sheer contradiction
Confusing her legions of readers
So busy, trying to paint her world of fiction;
...

On down the river of circumstance
Drowning in a sea of despair
I try to shelter my heart
Knowing that you are no longer there
...

Go gently into the night
....Upon tip-toed feet...
Delicately and deliberately
....Softly. longingly into...
...

You woke me from my deep sleep-
All slumbered for some time~
Nestled near the shrubs of lavender-
Sound sleep it had been mine~
...

Breathing in serenity outweighs death
Four to five hour party of dealers of meth?
Our eyes & ears filled with distress
Will the cops come- not holding our breath;
...
