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
...

Like a melodramatic tsunami-
You self destruct our: 'To Be'-
Your harbor-wave of monumental catastrophe-
Washes away, the only remnant of me.
...

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;
...
