The Insufficiency Poem by Varanasi Ramabrahmam

Can the companionship formed
By connected intellectual interests sufficient,
And gets sustained and lasts between sexes
In the absence of shared romances of the hearts,
The inner recesses not filled with mutual love and affection
Emotions not stirred and longings missing?

I feel the feelings blended in each other’s admiration
Respect, appreciation and nearness felt
And intimacy cultivated when not transformed
Into blissful oneness and does not cement, strengthen the bond
Is a mere dry mathematical relation;

Without any chemistry involved;
They remain two parallel lines which never meet

And actions, interactions and reactions not taking place
Makes the relation warm but never cool
May be alright but no pleasure
And is insufficient and incomplete
