A Shadow in the Night

by

Jada Wong

Quietly, and swiftly she goes to the window.
Quickly, she looks around.
Slowly, she explores her surroundings and makes little marks.
Immediately, she grooms herself and fears nothing.
Gracefully, she makes herself feel comfortable for the night.
Elegantly, she puts her head on top of her arm and rests.

Jada's Cat Prayer

by

Jada Wong

My life has been blessed by you my adoring and cherished cat.

I pray that God will protect you when I'm not around.

God has given me a chance to nurture and nourish you.

You hear when I call you without saying a word.

I hope you will be happy and will blossom in my care.

My day brightens when I see you greet me in the morning and evening with your gentle and quiet purr.

I pray that God will give you the same happiness as you have given me.

Solitude

by

Jada Wong

Solitude is needed to refresh our minds and
to gather our thoughts.

Solitude can heal the pain we experience from time to time.
At times, solitude can be our most trusted friend.

Solitude can help us to re-evaluate our lives -
It helps us to shape our thoughts.

Many times solitude is a time to invest in ourselves:

A time to nurture our souls.
A time to capture sunsets in our hearts.
A time to acquaint ourselves with new discoveries.
A time to smell the fresh and blossming flowers.
A time to think of someone dear to us.
And a time to renew our promises to ourselves.

Whatever it maybe, solitude is a true friend.

Alone

by

Jada Wong

Many times I wonder, many times I fear.
Too many times I pondered 'why am I here?'.
I prayed to God and He will answer me in time.
But many times, waiting feels like a crime.
As I watch people come in and out of my life.
But, I wonder am I living a good life?
I so surely treasure my moments ALONE.
But I do not wish to end up like anyone's clone.
Love is what life has to offer
Love is one thing I seek to relieve many burdens
I seek and I've found, I sought after and I got laughter.
But what do I seek most in this life?
Is to live and to learn and be as one with the Lord and Savior.
Greatness is one who serves and one who gives
But what is life if it isn't lived?
All these thoughts are but one.... But they come to me when I am alone.
As I am alone I will be with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Heartbreak Performance

by

Jada Wong

Bright Lights, dark shadows, with stirring unemotional eyes

Empty stage, used props, and deserted places

There was a time when song and dance filled the air

With different players with different flairs

Many came and many went with many highs and many byes

Many came with happy faces but some left with sad faces

Many possessed great insights and many just wanted to fill small spaces

Some players added spice to their ways but some had natural graces

When it's time to be real, time to show the spirit and life of a craft

When all is said and done... the center stage is filled with a secret heartbreak.

Looking From the Outside

by

Jada Wong

Walking through the crowded halls
Tension and energy fills the air
The idea of not knowing what will happen creates conversation
Many come for different calls
Many with dreams and hopes only to be met with rejection and frustration
Only a few can achieve the coveted places
Those few will shine on the temporary pedestal with directed faces
It is there that one can become another
And it is there that dreams come true.

Light of Wisdom

by

Jada Wong

I wish the light of wisdom will shine upon me as it did upon you.

You guided me when I needed it most - even though I didn't think I needed it.

You insisted that I should explore and be inquisitive about the world around me.

You saw to it that I had the best that life has to offer.

You knew I can be a better person.

Even though I felt pain during the correction - it was for my own good.

You wanted to bring out what you saw in me and what I can be - and not what the world saw me as and wanted me to be.

That is a legacy that will never end.

My love for you has not and will never change.

As Our Father has called you back home

I pray that with all the wisdom you possess that wisdom will shine upon me.

And if it is in your will I desire to pass on the light of wisdom that you have so kindly passed upon me.

Mom

by

Jada Wong

You surpassed all expectations
Now that I've met with devestation
I wish you can see me in my glory
but now I'll be another story

You will live on in my heart and in my mind
You will always be looked upon with heavenly divine
As you transcend into your new home
I can always go back to our heavenly dome

When you left this world a part of me died
I remembered those times when the pain for you was so unbearable and how much I cried

I know that you are being comforted and cared for
I will treasure all that you have done for me
I will always cherish the time you spent with me
You never stopped telling me that raising me was one excruciating chore

As I yearn to hear your voice
You leave me with little choice
I now have to live with the memory of your face
God in heaven is giving you grace

Wherever I go, whatever I do I will always remember
that you taught me to be free.

I love you Mom.

Searching

by

Jada Wong

There is a heavy burden upon me.

Sometimes I feel I am not appreciated or valued.

No matter what I say or do no one will ever appreciate me for me.

At times I sense rejection even when it is done secretly.

If I have time to explore an avenue usually there's no one there that can accompany me in the journey.

Sometimes I feel overlooked.

When social gatherings occur no one thinks about me.

I feel like I've been abandoned on purpose.

It makes me feel like I'm nothing.

I feel like I've been made to be an outcast.

Sometimes I don't feel like getting up from bed.

I fear the next day will be the same as today.

I feel at times a wall has been erected so I can't see the world.

I feel abandoned.

Oh God, help me.

For I am willowing in despair.

Lord, I wait for your answer.

The Way

by

Jada Wong

You have been my friend
You have been my enemy
You have seen me at my worst
You have seen me at my best
Many times we have been rivals
and many times we have been the closest of friends
I've always admired you
In more ways than one:

The way you handled people with ease
The way you learned quickly
The way you practiced what you've learned
The way you hunted down what needed to be known
The way you cherished every person you came into contact with

The way you respected others while others overtly disregarded you
The way you hid your emotional turmoil you felt when someone openly rejected your heart that you gave away
The way you disguised your hurt so that you will not be a burden upon us

The way you understood me without saying a word
The way you remembered my birthday
The way you wrapped up the Christmas present
The way you comforted me while I was in pain
The way you loved me
The way you remained true to yourself even when others didn't believe in you

The way you were there for me when I needed you most
The way you helped me to be a better person by challenging me to rediscover myself

With all of this, you showed me the way to live life and to love you once again.

I Believed

by

Jada Wong

I never doubted
I never questioned
I never diverted
I never went astray

As I learned the true meaning
I started to question
My questions were never answered
Instead I was told to keep quiet and to not question authority

I object
I question
I disagree
I fight
I stand for myself when no one else does

With the corruption and agony that was inflicted on the followers by the leaders
With the beauty and innocence that still prevails
With the belief that surrounds one
With the tragedy that enslaves one

And yet I still BELIEVE

The Quiet Soldier

by

Jada Wong

All my life I always believed you to be invincible

You were always a hero
You were always a fighter
You were always the favorite
You were always the leader

All hopes and dreams were destroyed by a tortured past

All aspirations and wishes were not fulfilled

Injustice has been done to you

Your spirit was crushed before you began your journey

Your will was suppressed

Your heart was broken

Yet your soul remains unbreakable

Your soul belongs to the great universe - you will never be defeated nor will your fortitude be buried in a sea of despair

Your achievements will be honored and you will be given respect

Your spirit will soar like the eagles in the sky

You will always be a great warrior seeking truth in a world that believes in lies

You will never be forgotten

My Soul's Faith

by

Jada Wong

Faith resides inside of me
Discipline keeps me alive
Ambition is my passion

I am tortured by my faith
Pride runs through my veins
Yet I cannot help but to feel greater than the lost souls of purgatory

I tame all of my self righteous commands
I reject any sin that will divert my bond with God

For I am cast aside with all grave sinners
I fear the worst impending judgment that is coming upon me
I fear that judgment is too heavy for me to bear

I cannot endure the eternal silence I am about to face
The eternal separation in the evil abyss

I am but one who keeps the word etched in my soul
I love the doctrines that discipline the heart

I live in a world that doesn't value the immortal spirit
But in lustful, greedy, and proud fortunes that blinds one from God's merciful grace

As humble as a lamb about to be sacrificed
I concede my life to this world
For I must bear the shame and agony of the world's cruel judgment
But I cannot bear the thought of loosening the bonds of pious belief

As a saint weeps for lost souls
I weep for mine

Reticence

by

Jada Wong

I am reluctant to reveal my feelings

My thoughts are hidden from the world

I want to transcend the limitations of space

I want to be free

Free from the stangnating struggles of a body that limits my spirit

My body is delicate yet strong

My passion roars like the ocean hitting the seaside rocks

Strength is my power

Love is my enemy

And yet no one will know my soul

A Journey Back to Me

by

Jada Wong

For all the laughter you brought into my life
For all the tear drops you have helped to wipe away
For all the joy you gave to me
For all the happiness you have shown me

I am so fortunate to find someone like you who understands me

For all those times you helped me to understand my limitations
For all those nights you stayed with me on the phone when I crying about a lost love
For all those times you comforted me when I was in pain
For all those times helped me to broaden my horizons

I am so grateful to have someone who is willing to spend time with me to help me grow

For all those times I didn't understand
For all those times I trusted you with my insecurities
For all those times you were patient with my imperfections
For all those times I spent questioning myself

I am so honored to be with someone who cared enough to teach me to be in accord with myself

With all the times that you were there for me
With all the precious moments you shared in my life
With all the lessons that I have learned from you
This life of mine has been a journey

A journey that leads me back to me.

A Different Look

by

Jada Wong

As I look in the mirror, all I see is someone trying to be what the world wants me to be.

I can not reveal my true self or reveal my true feelings without the fear of being reprimanded.

Sometimes when I go out I sense that others do not feel comfortable around me.

I do not know if it is because I look different or if it is because I sound different.

At times I feel ostracized and kept away from many of the intimate joys that people share with each other.

Intimacy is not easy for me. I fear that I will be emotionally crucified.

I get tired of all the games people play.

"Yes" means 'no' and 'no' means "NO" and "maybe" means nothing.

Many times I feel like crying or screaming out for solitude even when I am in a crowd.

The world will never accept me.

Sometimes I judge myself harshly because I do not feel I measure up to the world's beauty standards.

Sometimes I wish I looked different so people can find me attractive.

The beauty standards tell me that I look odd.

But in all of my heart's desire I know I am beautiful.

Hidden memories

by

Jada Wong

Sometimes when I am alone
I open up the a secret door
A door that is kept closed
Deep within my soul

Where no one is allowed
And where no one can see
A part of me that my soul has hidden
Deep within my heart

All the past joys, love, tears, laughter, sorrow, grief and life
All lay in a dark slumber waiting to be reawakened

A tight chain is wrapped around my heart
As all the memories form images that are dearly cherished

My soul refuses to believe
That these memories are no longer meant to be

As I look forward to see what will become
I will always carry these soft hidden pictures within my heart

Kenya, My Love

by

Jada Wong

It was time to leave
Yet I can't believe

My heart still yearns and aches
For all those times you
Came to me to awake
It had to be
For it was too much
For you to take

My love for you will always be
Now I know you are free

Free from all the heartache and pain
That was too intense and insane
The aches you tried to hide
Deep down inside you bitterly cried

But now you are gone from me
I pray one of these days together we will be

Treasured in my heart is your paw's soft touch
Now that you are gone
Your warm caresses I crave all so much

Those times when I was to eat
You enjoyed my giving you tons of treats

When I first found out
I knew without a doubt
All I wanted to do was to scream and shout

But deep in my soul
I still can't let go

The day after all I can do was weep
Your passing cut me way too deep

Kenya fly high and free
Forever in my heart you will always be

Kenya, my love, my heart, my soulmate,
And my little best friend
My heart will know of no end

Forever you will be
A sign of what goodness can be.

Kenya, Rest in Peace

Learning to Become

by

Jada Wong

Reflecting on yourself can lead to
Rediscovering your hidden talents can lead to
Reinvesting in yourself can lead to
Restructuring your thinking will eventually lead to

Learning to Become

Your true self

Phantom

by

Jada Wong

A shadow in the crowd
Trying not to be seen
Emotions are hidden deeply as can be
The soul bled many silent tears
But many were covered in turbulence and fears
Never had a chance to reveal all the tiredness and turmoil
Behind the facade
Stoicism was the daily mood
People can be cruel - abusive - harsh
Patiently hoped for the best
Ever so helpful in times of need
But kindness was met with vindictiveness and greed
As years passed by
When control has withered away
The real soul begins to emerge
It comes out of the rubble that buried
A spirit of hope that is carried
By love and faith

A Fete For You

by

Jada Wong

After all this time
It's hard to forget
All that you've taught me
All that you've showed me
The love, the happiness, and life
can be achieved
Not by work, or by obtaining or by planning
but by just being yourself

You, yourself

Remarkable events in life will take place
When you start to realize the potential of loving
who you are and what you have become

An eternal child of the universe

You taught me that you are a part of me
And I you

Celebrate your uniqueness by being you
So have a fete to embrace
the sorrows, the laughter,
the lonely accomplishments,
the solitary achievements
that only you can claim
as your own

The ever so wonderful you

Seeping Into Darkness

by

Jada Wong

The journey of reality comes to a close
The door of the abyss is opened

Calling
Inviting
Welcoming

The final resting place for one
who is resisting
but accepts the inevitable

The final call for rest

It is a dark room where the hope
of escape is nonexistent

A room that no one can leave
A room that is forever locked
A room waiting for a strong
but grieved, and reluctant soul

A place of rest
for a tortured and worried soul

As the journey closes for one
another allured by the abyss
willingly opens the door
and enters

The End of the Beginning

by

Jada Wong

There are many things I would like to say but can't say it. Emotions, not withstanding, allow me to see what is there.

Asking real questions and hearing the real answers creates fear and just not knowing some answers increases the hurt already there.

If the process did take place please allow me to go and never contact me again.

For I know the answer already.

Plethoric events strain and overburden the soul.

This one breaks my heart.

The Lamb

by

Jada Wong

He's very quiet and patient with life.

His nature allowed him to be kind, caring, and rarely selfish.

He is a soul with many dreams yet to be realized.
Yet he's so scared to set them free.

He was taught to be humble but when the daily lesson of anger turned to pain he complained not.

He did never found himself even through the toughest times in his life.

He never had a chance to develop his identity.

Feelings of deep emotion, pain and sorrow stir my mind.

Life has been hard on him and he tries his best to make the most of what he has.

Yet he is understanding, and did not lost his gentle temper.

Being abused at an early age he did not question the circumstances, nor fought with authority.

Through all of this, someone was watching and waiting.

This someone gave him life, mercy, hope, and grace to live.

It was this person who made him less fearful and alleviated the constant pain.

It was the One who came to mend all of the emotional, mental and physical wounds.

It was the Lamb that came to give rest.

Convoluted emotions

by

Jada Wong

I became quiet in the midst of the storm
to listen for truth and to see what the hidden message is

There is too much inconsistency
to believe in what is being said

Too many promises that are misleading
too many words that cover
the obvious insecurity that plagues the soul

Your mind is filled with thoughts that hurt
the sensitive soul that has been tortured
by instability and cruel haughtiness

All I need is to be secure in an unstable and violent world
I have been punished by arrogant dishonesty
and the hesitations of one who never cared
about my existence

My emotions are intricately tied to my logic
and it saves me from madness

When Truth Emerges

by

Jada Wong

The facade slowly breaks

It can no longer hide the truth filled emotions

Manipulation was disguised as candor

Present-day truth surfaced as lies and lies were presented as truth

But they no longer exist

Intimate expressions slowly develop into distant memory

No longer are the days of pain, anger and agonizing betrayal

As the truth emerges from behind the facade

Every tear I shed leads me further from you

Concealed Affections

by

Jada Wong

There is much to say, but I can't say
what needs to be said

All too often my emotions prevent me
from expressing my true feelings

I hide behind a mask so that I can be
shielded from any obvious and questionable
ill intention

My feelings and thoughts are too deep
and too precious to let anyone know

My sincerest emotions are concealed affections

For I can not bear the public scrutiny
that exists in the present realm

They are deeply rooted in a well
full of hidden life

A life that has been bartered by death

Unraveling Hidden Sensuality

by

Jada Wong

Slowly
hiddened emotions are unveiled
a touch
a subtle glance
a shy smile
hidden sensual feelings
develop
in mounting anticpation

A touch that creates
a pining for
affection
yearning
passion
that is about to be revealed
and has long been buried
in a treasure chest of
memories
that once existed
a lifetime ago

The luxurious and tantalizing
soft and rich touch
The curves of a lover's back
waiting and hidden
behind closed doors

The Festival of Cats

by

Jada Wong

Full moon illuminates the dark night sky
Clouds and stars reveal the hidden spell
Cats gather to witness the festival
Nature has planned
All come with inquisitive eyes
Expecting a magical celebration
Their eyes glow in anticipation
And the cats start to dance

Behind the Vanity

by

Jada Wong

You have made promises that you couldn't keep
Tender emotions you have ignored

Your intentions were questionable

The truth was changed
Promises for a hopeful future
No longer exists

It only exists in a memory long gone
A memory that tortures a hopeful soul

Your mind has been corrupted
By lust and greed
It has taken control
To fulfill your wicked sinful nature

Cruel intentions are
Hidden by adoring lies and cunning deception

Your intentions were hidden
But not hidden from God

No longer can you hide
Your tragedy and pain

You've allowed your past
To destroy your personal identity

Vanity does not cover your past pain and
heartaches

It only covers the truth

Mask

by

Jada Wong

Memories linger

Instead of laughter and happiness

Your legacy bounds of

hate
corruption
deceitfulness
And most of all

pain

I gave you hope and affection

In return

You leave behind memories of manipulation, unfair and selfish ways
You never cared and were never honest

But now it's time to pick up the pieces

I struggle daily with the heartaches and
torn dreams

Daily prayer finds it way to heaven and to the Angels
Above

Like Sodom and Gomorrah

The Lord above sees what you have done

Remember

You are on earth and HE is in Heaven

May God have mercy on your soul

Just a Sparkle

by

Jada Wong

Something changed
You tell the truth
You've grown and you see yourself
In a different light
I was there for a small lesson
But it left an impression on you
I'm not like the others
I have elegance, dignity and confidence
I refuse to let anyone own me
You are a free spirit but you live by society's rules
I cover myself with ideas and laughter
No one knows about
I treasure the times we spent together
The laughter, joy, pain and eventual heartache
Of betrayal
That is why we can't be together
I must let you go
For it is time that we must part
I adored you but you didn't know
For you were misled by lies and wayward friends
I hear God telling me
That it is time for you to go
Good bye my love

Shy Romance

by

Jada Wong

A quick glance
Subtle flirtations

Shy encounters
Feelings uncovered
Lay buried in memories
Of what once was

Potential hearts
Crave for direction
Yet lack guidance
Intuition leads

But fear steers
Soft thoughts

Romantic gestures

Slowly

Away

Abandoned

by

Jada Wong

Softly connecting with you
Secret expectations
of a life leading
to happiness and love

Quietly

You walk away from
what we had
or maybe so I thought we had

My dreams

Untouched
Uncovered
Lay dormant again

My soul craved for the
lovely thought of
your being near

Of a promise
of a life
of happiness
and ....
security
with you

All abandoned

in a moment

without notice
