Sing to me Katy
Sing to me Demi
Sing to me Ellie, and Sia.
Give me your glam, your aery
your mezzo-soprano
in the wan light
of the last quarter moon.
Beguile me
with your magnetic style,
your wild and winsome fashion,
elegant enchanted hands
trace sublime choreography
across the lucent screen.
Surround me
with your siren song,
your mystic longing lyrics,
sing of heaven, your heart
sing of harmony and the rising
resilient morning star,
please, sing to me . . .
