kaavyaa kriday - My mistake...

I was a born genius having great skills,
Everyone was awed by my presence,
I could drink sea and break hills,
All knew about my essence.

Nobody had the courage to face me,
I was completely unbeatable.
But one day a lady dared to me,
For me she became totally unforgettable.
She defeated me through her charms,
Then she stole my heart away.
For her, I was ready to accept all the harms,
Then we decided to tie knot and stay.

She wanted my care and I made many sacrifices,
Act of accompanying her, I never wanted to ignore.
I started getting many failures and vices,
I was genius and unbeatable no more.
My competitors became more stronger,
I lost many battles and power.
Her love for me then started getting smaller and smaller,
My status started going lower and lower.

She realized no more I was great,
She left me and went for someone more powerful.
This was my biggest defeat till date,
Now my status became sick and awful.
I learnt only a fool compromises for career,
A man must possess money and power.
Only then he can remove every barrier.
Sometimes a person wants partner having nothing but a golden tower.
