**Hailing from New Haven, Connecticut and joined by her band DigFlo, well-travelled
wordsmith Akua Naru gives us an exclusive live performance of “Poetry: How Does 
It Feel”; a sensually exquisite, jazzy jam of spoken word.**

If love had a sound, this would be that sound
 Love, love. We would be the band 
to play it

My ghetto butterfly flew away from me
 I wait patiently by windows and doorsteps
Play, make, believe as my tears, poor chest Won’t succeed to breathe if not the 
hear of you

Surely there hasn’t never been a shade so blue
 A stank attitude, so not mad at 
you Not a magnitude to encompass the latitude Of my love for you No space or time
compatible

What do I have to do?
 What do I have to do? Uh, my friends say I got it bad for
you I do, but there’s nothing in this world i would rather do, but you

Hey, I want to make love to your existence
 Drenched in the colors of your energy
Then masturbate to the memories I wanna lose myself inside yourself Until you find
me, confine me, to the freedom of your prison

Exist in the same space, same time
 Combine Until your thoughts slow grind with 
mine Combine Until your thoughts slow grind with mine Combine Until your thoughts
slow grind with mine

My, I want to drink the sweat off your intellect
 Reflect and watch your light passion
off my neck Caress the sight of your presence with no question Undress, to the nakedness
of love, pure love

I want to make love to my soul mate
 My soul mate Make love to my soul mate My soul
mate Make love to my soul mate Shit

I wonder how does it feel to make love to your soul mate
 Kind of like writing poetry
till climax Till the point and place where our space and time match And we cross
divine paths

Tell me would you like that
 How would like that Tell me would you like that Now
would you like that Tell me would you like that Would you like that Tell me

I wanna love you more than madly
 Wrap these legs around your words Until your speech
is straddled deep, gladly Swim the currents of your vibrations

Be separate and one
 With the same meditation This is poetry

(Sax solo)

Play that sax. Do ya?
 Play that sax

If love had a sound, this would be that sound
 And we would be the band to play 
it.
