Poet, My Friend

What is friendship to me but a culmination
Qualities with signs of kindness and compassion
Earned respect for fair play heed no hesitation
Backbone and humility in the equation
Striving for lofty ideals and ambition
Rising above the mundane orientation
Hints of spirituality’s revelation
With a penchant for beauty, art and creation  

For you, my friend, I have but words of ovation
Your heart thunders proud flaunting determination 
Wielding words like harnessing intoxication
Epitome of virtues’ crystallization
