Midnight Poet Strikes Again, Toot-toot-tootsie, goodbye
An ostentatious move.
Was he trying to prove
That with such talent
He could carry the show?
Doesn’t he know?
We’re already smitten.
I’d, before now, been bitten,
not by his outward and worldly procession,
nor by a face with it’s gallant expression,
but by goodness and grace –
no pureness effaced
by some talent obsession.
Such aggression
for spotlight
dims my excite,
for trying too hard
can simply bombard
My patient threshold.
I needn’t the handhold,
or bit of convincing.
My love for him, truly,
is simply existing.
So breathe, Gabriel,
but not in the horn.
Just relax and be fatter,
and trust that we love you,
and nothing’s the matter.
