Infinity, once my forever shine so bright,
Your heart now blinded by wealth's fading light.
You prioritized position, power, and gold,
Over love, care, and time our hearts once did hold.
Did false pride make you forget trust's gentle might?
In our love, transparency was once our guide,
But ego and show-offs slowly stepped inside.
You started measuring love by material worth,
Leaving me, Mine, with a heart that suffered dearth.
Do you regret now, Infinity, that love's true birth?
Time once stood still when we shared gentle nights,
Whispers, laughter, and adventures felt just right.
But your pursuit of status and lavish display,
Made me feel like a trophy, not your heart's sweet way.
Is your heart still capable of loving without pride's sway?
Infinity, I wish you could see my pain,
A love that's pure, true, and forever remains.
Your wealth and title never won my heart's race,
Only your love, care, and gentle, loving face.
Will you return to me, and leave your ego's dark place?
Now I wonder, Infinity, do you feel alone,
Surrounded by riches, but a heart turned to stone?
I'm still Mine, loving you with all my might,
Waiting for the day you'll choose love's pure light.
Will you come back to me, and make our love shine bright?
Dedicated to the last love Infinity.

"Poet's Love" by Thala Abhimanyu Kumar S is a poignant and emotionally rich poem that explores the sorrow of losing love to material pursuits. Through the symbolic characters of "Mine" and "Infinity," the poet reflects on a relationship once rooted in transparency, care, and emotional depth, now dimmed by ego, pride, and the pursuit of wealth. Each stanza ends with a reflective question, emphasizing the poet’s longing and internal conflict, while challenging the reader—and perhaps the subject—to reconsider the value of genuine connection over societal status. The tone is deeply personal, lyrical, and filled with heartache, yet maintains a hopeful thread, yearning for reconciliation and the return of pure love.
The poem’s structure is consistent, using quatrains with a gentle rhyme scheme that supports its musicality. Symbolism and imagery, such as “heart turned to stone” and “blinded by wealth’s fading light,” effectively highlight the emotional shift in the relationship. The use of "Mine" and "Infinity" adds a layer of poetic abstraction, portraying the universal conflict between love and materialism. While the poem is emotionally powerful and sincere, a bit more sensory detail or clarification of the metaphors could enhance reader connection. Overall, it's a heartfelt, thought-provoking tribute to enduring love amidst emotional loss.
