Sunlight pouring through the window
Onto pages that remain unwritten
The poet has stayed away
Not sure what to write or say
Until now...
I wonder what she will cover this page with
Will it be okay?

Dearest Daddy
Songs to meditate upon as you read this:
All In All- Lifehouse
Don't Want To Go- Avalon
Prayer turned into a poem written by me... (7th April, 2007). I have not chosen a title for it as yet, but if you think of one let me know.
I pray that you enjoy it and that you keep Matthew 11:28 & 29 in your Spirit. Oh and you have my permission to pass it on.
Nattie
Dearest Daddy who is enthroned in Heaven
But lives in my heart,
I humbly bow before You
With my Heart extended to You,
Wanting just to talk and spend some time with You.
Daddy, today I come before you tired,
Tired of so much.
Daddy, I am tired of the comfortable,
Tired of the numbness,
The bland and solitary life
Tired of blending in,
I'm tired dear God of quenching your Spirit
Fearing what may happen.
Lord I just need so much more of you,
I want to try and catch you,
Like a little girl who follows her daddy's footsteps hoping for a chance to touch Him,
I want to be captured by You
Like a lover captures the one He feels is the apple of His eye,
I want to be the one dear Father
The one you choose to dance in your arms.
Lord I want no more of my filthiness
I want only Your Holiness,
Help me to become
The woman you created me to be.
Help me to deal with the hurts, the aches, the loneliness.
Help me to find my joys, my treasures in You.
Help me to begin fully seeking after You
And not just the things of You!
Dear Father I pray that You ruin EVERYTHING!
Everything that is not of You!
I only want You!
You alone can fill my heart thirsts, soul thrists, mind thirsts.
I want to be filled with You!
Teach me how to be Your precious daughter,
Teach me how to dance
I'm tired of reading and watching others do what I long to,
I want to be in your arms
I want to dance!
Talk is cheap Father,
I can talk all day of what dancing with You should be
But I want to live the dance
For I have realized that my life is the dance
Make it perfect.
But Lord this prayer is not only for me
I love my friends,
I want them to know more of You,
No more learning of who You are,
Dear Father it is time that they knew.
We need your presence Father God,
Impact to us all what You want us to know daily,
I love You and I want Your love to be bestowed upon them
Just like how You have bestowed it upon me.
Lord I also bring before You my family,
Take care of them, love them, teach them.
Show them how much You treasure them.
We love You
We need You
We want You
Make me an example to them
And help me to continue to grow with them.
Finally daddy I bring before You my enemies
Help me to love them just as You love me
Help me to not see them as foes
But to see them in a manner that will help me to be their friend
Help me to be Your witness.
Thank you for all that You have done
Thank you for taking away any feelings that do not glorify You,
Thank You dear father for reminding me that sometimes I just have to let go,
And let You have your way.
To You only does my Spirit yield,
To You only am I lead to,
Father capture me in Your arms,
Enfold me in Your life and love,
And take me into the dance.
Loving You in my ALL!
Your Loving daughter

In the stormy rain...
In The Stormy Rain
By: Natasha D. Rufin
Cold
Wet
Hungry
As I stand here
In the stormy rain
Watching you move on
Hating that it was because of my fear
That I missed out on you
On the shelter that your love would have provided
On the beauty and truth of your kiss
Never thought I would end up like this...
I miss you
I want you back
But I have come to realize that
Maybe just maybe
My heart was meant to be like this
Left without protection and sustenance
In the stormy rain...

untouched and whole
Untouched And Whole
By: Natasha D. Rufin
You must not be serious
You think you could say what you did
And I be the same way with you?
You showed me what you really wanted
A quick liason that would have cost my heart a lifetime
But would have given you your release
Given you a piece of me I could never regain
But guess what?
I was smarter than that
I saw through your lines in time
And you left me just as I was when you came
Untouched and whole!

Fingerprints
Fingerprints
By: Natasha D. Rufin
Fingerprints all over the shell
Of the man who knew it well
The only one to taste it
The only one to break it
Lines as fragile as the ones he used to capture it
Still surround it
She was the treasure he thought he wanted
A delicacy
A beauty
Something unique
Until he made it commonplace
Now she finally knows and understands
That you never cast your pearls to swines
No matter how fine
No matter how much they wine
Leave the pearls for the ones who are willing to pay the price
Leave the pearls for the king
He's the only one who will
Be willing and able to pay everything.

You don't understand me
You don't appreciate who I am
Or what is important to me
Or who I love.
You don't know how to make me happy
You don't appreciate what makes me free
You don't understand the way I feel
I guess for us it was just not meant to be.

Craving...
Craving
By: Natasha D. Rufin
6th June, 2009
Craving to be loved
Craving to be touched
Craving to be held
She allowed you in.
She was stupid.
She bent to your way
She turned to you
Hoping you would be true
Only to be rejected
To be left standing in the cold
As she watched you leave
As she watched you run to another
As she let you have the power to hurt her.

Whenever

Current mood: hopeful

Whenever
By: Natasha D. Rufin
To: my Cadbury angel...
Whenever I say your name a smile lights up my face
Whenever I remember the way you look
When I said something that surprised you
My heart hurts
Because I wish i was there wherever you are.
I hate how we're apart
I hate not being there near enough to hear the beating of your heart
I see us dancing under star filled evening skies
Hugging each other as we watch the sunrise
I hope that I love you the way that you need
Because whenever I look in my heart I see you and me
A picture I pray lasts eternally.

Gade mwen nan tout ke mwen ti chouchou dous mwen
Se ou selman ki gen ke mwen
Se ou selman ki fe tout ko mwen kontan
Kontan tankou on fle sou primye jou prentan
Kontan tankou on papiyon ki ap vole ale a
Se ou selman ki fe mwen konnen mwen libere.
Se ou selman mwen vle rete avec pou tout tan
Paske le mwen reveye minuit avec rev mal
Se ou selman mwen rele
Le ou gade mwen ou we plis pase lot moun
Ou we tout ke mwen
Ou gade mwen le fini ou we tout namn mwen
Se ou selman ki we tout kote mwen toujou kache devan lot yo
Se ou selman mwen vle fe konfyans
Paske se ou selman ki gen tout sa mwen bezwen!

Look straight into my heart my sweetheart
You alone have my heart
You alone make my entire body feel joy
Happy like a flower on the first day of spring
Happy like a butterfly who is flying above
You alone make me know that I am free.
It is with you alone I want to be with forever
Because when I awake at night with nightmares
It is you alone that I call
When you look at me you see more than many people
You see my entire being
You look at me and you see my soul
It is you alone who sees all of the places I try to hide from everyone else
It is you alone that I want to confide in
Because it is you alone that has everything I need.

Melt
By: Natasha D. Rufin
29th October, 200...
I felt the ice inside me thawing,
I've been am ice princess for years
Yet finally someone has come along,
That brings me joy and tears!
You're reaching places no one has ever been,
Places I've kept hidden so far beneath my ice,
So far beneath my cold,
Yet just one look into your eyes
And my heart was yours to have and to hold!
Your smile shone bright ways
That always make me smile and laugh
So much that inside I began to feel the ice melt,
Until I experienced emotions I never felt.
When you're hurt it seems to make me sad,
It makes me want to forget being cold
Yet as I try to it seems that the unmelted ice
Still has me on hold.
So I'm melting into someone new to see
I may hate change yet you're changing me,
As my icy feelings melt and begin to heat,
I'm becoming sopmeone totally complete.
Be blessed!
