daybreak is coming round the bend
can't you hear em?
i smell his rays....coming from off the pane
can't you hear him?
see alls i do is cry all night
i can't quite figure out why
see there he is tipping in again
i can hear him coming round that bend
he pulling up the shades as if he been here all day
i can smell him stretching
he lean now
when he stretching he go clear cross the waters
best part is....when he comes in
i mean when he gets here
I get to be the kind of girl he wants
(they all wants)
best part about it is
i get to be pampered in his shadow
like the kind of girl he wants
(they all wants)
cause when he leave....everything goes to sleep
i mean the waters stays the waters
and i mean sometimes my space is clouded with stars
and i mean sometimes after he leaves
i shine
but lately....i just cry all night
can't quite figure out why
but i can hear him
coming round that bend....smelling like
mourning
Ow....child i can feel his smile
yes he smiling
and when he wrap his~self round me
Lord sometimes i just can't breathe
cause he lean
yes he is lean
best part about him is.....his kiss
it covers my skin
and the world can tell i been wit him
even born from him
adore him
see when he comes....pathways that wasn't there before
become clear and i'm sure he be opening
them doors for me
cause sometimes i am weak
and get ta going inside of ma~self
and be crying all night
not quite figuring out why
but he coming......now i can get up out of this sky
wipe my tears
and find these here pathways

Love takes on many mantles and the old adage "you never miss the water til . . ." well, you know, is so true and this poem bears that truism out loud and clear. Damn good.
You mesh rhythm and emotion to weave a spell of sacred hallelujahs and yes ma'ams in real time. This poem is one profound pathway into the beautiful yet painful experience that authentic love can bring into even the most protected corners of our lives. As rich as a kingdom out of ancient Africa. I stand and I applaud.
You are so special Mitzi...you open up a whole nother world and lay it out for us to delve into with all of its wonders and warts. You never fail tor bring it all to life from rich vibrant colors to faded grays.A gourmet feast Brava sweet poet!
It is difficult, at best, to pull of a good write in dialect, but you have done it here. Your artful blending of emotions and the conversational flow of this is grand.
