SYLVIE

Her so seductive songs
Touched me in a deep place.
Inspired by cyber ceremonies,
Snapshots of intercontinental
Virtual reality,
I travelled five hours, or more
On four trains, maybe five
From Windermere to Formby
To see Sylvie sing
About some of the same things
That Leonard sings about.
She has the same sensuality
In a female form.
Seductive siren sounds
Inviting you to come around
A little closer
If you care
If you dare
I was tired from the day
Then a man planted
Himself by her side;
I didn't even try.
I saw what I came to see
I was happy.
