For My Friend…

The missing diamond on my tiara
You are the one who completes my jigsaw
Like a tinkle of the golden bell,
You light up my face when you yell!

My comrade, my muse
Who can blow up a gasket and the fuse!
The spine for my back, the bamboo for my shack
A controversial avant-garde composer
Who leaves us in dire straits!

You, yes you, are an eager beaver
The one who wouldn’t give a hoot
If I fall or slip,
You will be the one to snatch away the Tulip!

Many came and many went
But you have left my heart with a dent!
Life’s incomplete without your vainglorious brash
You are the aerodynamic stall that prevents the plane crash!
