niceties
Jade Feb 2013
"good morning"
a distracted nod
the door opens

"have a nice day"
a preoccupied glance
the elevator closes

"have a nice weekend"
an abstracted smile
the register clatters

oh the niceties of the ersatz existence
yet another day in paradise

transformation
Jade Jan 2013
who shall I be
at the end of transformation
this painstakingly
beautiful
miracle of remaking

the wisp that morphs
to modify perception
deceptive
reflection
that masks the truth

she must die
for the butterfly
to emerge
with wings that are exquisitely my own

limbo
Jade Mar 2013
my soul is trapped in limbo
i ache to soar
to breathe

inhale the light of nature
exhale the pain
live free

Spark (2011)
Jade Feb 2014
my soul's hibernating
tucked safe behind walls
illusions abounding
protecting from falls

well masked eyes
hide the lies
hide the fears
hide the pain
the chameleon guard dragon
provides warmth in the rain

my heart hears the truth
my soul starts to stir
a smile slips my lips
my spirit
it purrs
the end of a poem found tucked away from summer 2011, a time when I was deep in confusion and depression.  there was this little spark, however dim.  it has taken me years to uncover and begin to recover.  this little tiny spark of awakening :)
