Brotha Soul

By Po-It 

Brother Soul

Hey you

Yeah you

Can I wish upon your star?

To get me to where you are.

Why does time

seem to surpass around u?

I find myself star gazed by your presence

I haven’t noticed any other existence

Am I breathing?

Is this where heaven lies?

Cause I must admit

you are that;

Heaven that is

A fallen angel

If found please return to:

GOD

But forgive me I retain him for myself

Must I return to Sender?

Surrender?

While

I was patiently waiting

his presence fell upon me.

When he smiles at me subconsciously

I melt.

Soul survivor I

Don’t know.

Could he be?

My opposite me?

Is he my soul mate?

Brother Soul

Love you.

This Texas native blends the complexities of Coco Brown and the Phat Cats, the boldness of Me’shell Ndegeocello with an unveiled taste of sensuality and sexuality.

Her poetry speaks secrets of desire, love, hurt and drama. Simple, subtle, complex and metaphoric. More than a poet; this writer/vocalist is a deep erotic movement of neo-soul music. Her crooning vocals command attention. She is prolific!

Her music is a blend of 70’s Soul, Neo Soul, House, Hip Hop and Rock n Roll guided by spoken words and sultry vocals. It is honest and based on her life experiences and those of others. 

"I love life, intimacy, being loving. I believe today's relationships are not based on true feelings. More to life [exists] than a normal everyday routine. Sometimes you need to drive the sharp curves instead of driving straight ahead; you'll miss the view along the way. I just want the world to view my life of love, pain and happiness in Po-it's eyes."

Hopefully the rest of the world will enjoy Po-It, just as friends, local nightspots, café houses and other artists have.
