Poems from Another Lifetime Part 8
by Marijo Phelps This is part of a series of poems which were written years ago before I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Some were written when I was a professing atheist and an alcoholic. If you have read my pieces since I came to Jesus I think the contrast is evident. Poems from Another Lifetime Part 8 SELF SUPPRESSION Where did it come from This silence of ours From nothing unspoken From nothing unsaid Where did it come from This anger of mine From self hatred due to dominance Over a second self This anger, this silence Multiplied and magnified Through no response It grows Where did it come from This overly aggressive girl From passiveness On the part of another Where is it going This happiness of ours Suppressing anger I become less than I am This happiness returned Rationalize I For another It is really there Where did it go to This love of ours It was destroyed with the creation Of "less than I am" LOOKING, LOST, SEARCHING Will I ever know Will I ever be sure Or will I always go Looking, lost and searching Through the years I searched for it Yet I still couldn't find What love was supposed to be To bring peace of mind Searching for it for so long I never really did know That I lost love When I lost you So very long ago MY EYES, AT LAST SEE ME The mirror reflects Herself, herself, herself Echoing and reechoing Across the many faceted green So real as to touch With sure gentle hands As he did to start The season's change She sees In the mirror reality No more an image hazy In the fog of sublimation Or askew in line With self deceit But real For she was touched by his hand The hand which held hers Gently Over the paths Through her mind To honesty, reality Echoing and reechoing Across many faceted green Her eyes reflect Herself, herself, herself. THING CALLED LOVE Yours want to be I always Mixed up has me This crazy thing called love Happy, strong, wonderful and bursting Feel I that it is that To work, to live, to love dream I Love is a word overused and trite Some often use it But do they have it right?
