My Infinity, my love, my soul’s darkest fire,
In your absence, my heart is a desolate desire.
Morning sunbeams that once warmed our entwined skin,
Now bring only sorrow, dear, and longing within.
Chinna, your touch was honey to my lips,
My girl, our love was a sweet wild eclipse.
In your eyes, my heart would find a home,
Dear, with you, I was never alone.
Remembering the rides into sunsets, side by side,
Around Gudivanka beating with pride.
There were definite promises with no shame,
Only love towards each other’s name.
But now, bangari, you are lost in wealth and fame,
Missing love, the touch and the voice which whispered my name.
Do you realise, my love, what money couldn’t buy?
A heart that beat for you alone, a love that said “ you are mine.”
Dedicated to that longing Love.

This heartfelt poem captures the raw ache of lost love, weaving nostalgia and emotional depth into every stanza. The poet reminisces about an intense and passionate bond once shared, now shadowed by absence and longing. Imagery of warmth, nature, and shared moments—like sunset rides around Gudivanka—evoke a deep sense of intimacy and connection that has been replaced by solitude and sorrow. The poet uses affectionate terms like "Chinna" and "bangari" to personalize the emotions and convey cultural depth, enhancing the authenticity of his love and pain.
The poem also highlights the conflict between love and materialism. As the beloved drifts away, lured by "wealth and fame," the speaker emphasizes the irreplaceable value of genuine affection—"a heart that beat for you alone." The final lines serve as a quiet lament and tribute to a love that once felt infinite. Through rhythmic language and soulful imagery, the poem leaves a lingering impression of yearning and the irrefutable truth that some treasures lie beyond what money can ever buy.
