Maybe... Still A Chance

I'm back with another set of poems tonight. These ones were written during my days at the College Of the Bahamas as I sat about with my friends in the library or computer lab. I found them tonight and thought to share them with you. Enjoy!

Princess Natasha

Maybe

Maybe I should rethink this

Maybe I should keep it to myself

Maybe I should do as I always do

And think over it

Let it simmer inside

Just keep it pent up within

Until it seeks to destroy me

By exploding on a whim.

I may as well say it now,

It just seems scary but I just have to,

This would have come out someday anyhow

The thing is that-

I really like you!

Still A Chance

By: Natasha Tatania D. Rufin

Fall 2003

Wondering through the desert,

In the dark and cold night,

I’m alone and afraid,

Yet in the distance I see a bright light.

I run towards it feeling safe at last,

I know instinctively that here I can forget my past.

Then I see that the gate has a lock,

I read a sign that tells me what to do

It says that the occupants are waiting for true love to pass through.

I look down at my talisman it has a key,

Maybe it can open this door for me?

I read the story about this royal family,

The Prince had been placed under a spell by a witch you see,

She’d spoken over his life words of hate,

Words that made him lock his heart and the castles gate,

Then he fell under a deep sleep,

A sleep he’d stay in until he felt his loves kiss finally.

I looked at my reflection mirrored in the water in the moat below,

Could I be the one to awaken him so?

With my plain face and soft curly hair,

I see someone beautiful in her way with nothing to fear.

If I’m the one it’ll be okay,

If not, love will come to me someday.

I push in my key, it turns and the lock opens,

I open the gate and I walk in,

My search for the throne room then earnestly begins,

I find my prince sleeping and loosing heart,

I hold his head in the palm of my hands as under my lips his lips slightly part.

He awakens and opens his eyes and sees,

I am his true love, we’re both happy,

Slowly around us the castle reawakens,

We celebrate our union with a grand party!

Then it seems that I awaken from my dream,

Yet my prince is next to me,

Yet unlike my dream where he can see me,

He’s asleep to the fact that we’re meant to be.

Will he awaken at our first kiss?

Will I ever be on the Prince of my heart’s list?

Will he ever be known as my man?

Will I ever feel his heart beat erratically under my hand?

So dream Prince why can’t you see all I see?

Why can’t you see the princess you have in me?

It’s time for you to open your eyes to love,

Time for you to come and claim what was destined for you from the one above,

So stop sleeping thinking you’re not worthy to be loved,

For I’m here still wondering in my desert,

Waiting to see the light in the distance,

The light that tells me there is for us still a chance.
