Theodora (Theo) Onken Poems

Emblazened in your warm embrace
Oh never let me go
So light and ethereal i do feel
Loving the you i have come to know
...

</>The flowers are now shattered
Their thorns bleed the rose
A Basket full of withered Daisies
Where the wild sunflower still grows;
...

In the silence of my being
Never empty
Because you are here
Though i cannot
...

It's two steps forward for you
And three steps back
You, residing in insulation and cob webs
Waiting...waiting...waiting to attack
...

Feeling so alert in the crisp sandalwood air! ! !
My mind draws pictures for me...
Its of two people caught up-'in secret'
What some might call their apt destiny! ! ! ;
...

From a dappled sunset
To their quicksand of Dawn
Ugly souls tiptoe in clearview
Via their destinations of wrong;
...

How long i have waited
For that far-away-trill
Or the appearance
Of the valley Daffodil
...

...Gliding 'cross the skies
Upon a cotton-white cloud
...I gather in the Ethereal
Leaving behind: 'The Proud'
...

Dizzying attitudes oft' disagree...
Swirling in an unbalanced round...
Turning circles over and over again-
And more than not- landing on the ground;
...

The day blew in wide open

With me soaking up the irony
...
