Oh great leader, zero work ethics in your name,
A mastermind of doing absolutely nothing but claim fame.
You are a leader who does nothing right,
But still you act like everything’s perfect in sight.

Your work habits are lazy, your mood swings wild,
You insult others, but play the victim child.
We are in awe of your bravery in absorbing endless praise,
For accomplishments that others achieved, while you lounged in daze.

You are a bad example for others to see,
A leader who fails but still wants to be free.
Your legacy will be one of failure and shame
A reminder to all of your lazy leadership game.

So here’s to you, great leader,may your empty titles abound,
May your lack of substance be masked by loud sound.
May your incompetence inspire a generation of idle pride,
And may your name become synonymous with laziness inside.

Dedicated to the leader with brilliant incompetence.

This satirical poem delivers a scathing critique of a leader who embodies incompetence, laziness, and hypocrisy. With biting sarcasm, the poet exposes the stark contrast between the leader’s self-proclaimed greatness and their actual lack of contribution or accountability. The leader is portrayed as someone who basks in unearned praise, shifting blame onto others while presenting a false image of perfection. Their erratic behavior and manipulative victimhood are highlighted as traits that erode the integrity of their position.

The poem also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of such leadership. Through clever wordplay and sharp imagery, the poet warns that the glorification of incompetence can have far-reaching consequences. The “empty titles” and “idle pride” symbolize a hollow legacy built on illusion rather than merit. Ultimately, the poem calls for reflection on the values society upholds in its leaders, stressing that true leadership demands accountability, integrity, and genuine effort.
You turned away from me with a false heart,
A broken promise, a love that fell apart.
Your lies hurt me deep, a painful wound inside,
You chose money and fame over our love to abide.

My honest heart loved only you, so true and kind,
But you left me for a life that's flashy and unkind.
You gave up our real love for things that shine,
And now my heart is broken, lost in a dark decline.

You were unfair to our love, so good and bright,
You traded it for a life that's not right.
My love was pure, it only loved you,
But you didn't value it, what am I to do?

You made a big mistake, leaving our love behind,
Now my heart is sad, my world is not kind.
True love is selfless, gentle, and always true,
A treasure lost by you, now shining through.

Your duplicity revealed a heart that’s lost its way,
A treason against love, in endless, greedy day.
You must realize now, the value of our past,
Regretting every moment our love didn't last,
Do you feel the guilt of leaving a heart that loved you?

Dedicated to that leaving heart.

Your designer hands, once gentle on my skin,
Now grasp luxury bags, and wealth within.
Amidst the ruins of our love, I search for yesterday,
In the wasteland of your beauty, where charm stay.

Only you exist beyond my family was your say,
Now, after a year it’s just a say, just a say .
For actions speak louder, a love that wasn’t there,
You are my everything, a vow that echoed empty and bare.

My heart is broken, shattered, lost and sore,
Forever changed by the love we had before.
I mourn the loss of trust and our love’s demise,
It’s just a laugh for you, not so wise, not so wise.

Dedicated to such blind pride not so right.

This poem reflects the deep emotional pain of a person who feels betrayed and disillusioned by a once-loving partner whose values have shifted towards materialism and superficial pride. The speaker reminisces about the intimate past they shared, now replaced by luxury and pride that have corroded the foundation of their relationship. The lines reveal a sense of loss, not just of love but of trust and sincerity, painting a picture of emotional decay amidst material gain.

The repetition of phrases like “just a say” and “not so wise” emphasizes the speaker’s disillusionment and bitter realization that promises once made were empty. The emotional contrast between the speaker’s sincere love and the partner’s current indifference is striking. The poem serves as a personal catharsis and a commentary on how pride and wealth can blind people to genuine human connection and love.
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.
Your false promises broke my trusting heart,
A two-faced love that played a cruel part.
You hid your true intentions from my sight,
And with disloyalty, ended our love's light.

Your lies were spoken softly, yet cut deep,
Your ambition consumed our love's sweet keep.
You chose power over me and our love's might,
And climbed the ladder of betrayal in the night.

Your touch, once gentle, now controlled my fate,
Each whispered lie, a fatal kiss to wait.
My heart is broken, shattered, lost, and sore,
Forever changed by the love we had before.

I mourn the loss of trust and our love's demise,
And weep for what could never be revived in your eyes.

Dedicated to such changing love.

The poem "Shattered Love" by Thala Abhimanyu Kumar S delves into the emotional aftermath of betrayal in a romantic relationship. Through vivid imagery and emotive language, the poet captures the pain of broken trust and the heartache that follows deceit. The speaker reflects on the duplicity of their partner, who masked their true intentions behind soft words and gentle touches. The metaphor of love as a light extinguished by betrayal illustrates the depth of the speaker's sorrow and sense of loss. The line “You chose power over me” emphasizes the partner’s ambition and selfish choices, suggesting that the love shared was sacrificed for personal gain.

The poem also explores the transformation of love from something nurturing to something destructive. The lover’s touch, once comforting, becomes a symbol of control and manipulation. The poet mourns not only the end of the relationship but also the erosion of trust—an essential foundation of love. With a tone of sorrow and resignation, the final lines underscore the permanence of the emotional damage and the impossibility of reconciliation. The poem is a powerful expression of grief and disillusionment, dedicated to the experience of love that changes, falters, and ultimately breaks under the weight of betrayal.
In Infinity's eyes, emptiness resides,
A hollow echo of promises she devised.
To lure Mine back, with deceitful grace,
But her heart remains a winter's frozen space.

Like autumn leaves, her words wither fast,
False vows scattered, leaving love aghast.
She forgot the gardens of my loving soul,
Where roses bloomed, and wildflowers made whole.

Infinity's spirit now a restless sea,
Tossed by waves of wealth and materiality.
She navigated away from love's calm shore,
Leaving Mine to drown in sorrow evermore.

My love was a rich tapestry, intricate and bold,
But she reduced it to mere threads of gold.
Used and discarded, like a worthless find,
Infinity's heart now a relic, left behind 💔.

Dedicated to the heart now a relic.

The poem "Heartache" by Thala Abhimanyu Kumar S is a poignant reflection on love betrayed and the emotional aftermath of being abandoned by someone once deeply cherished. Through vivid metaphors and symbolic language, the speaker recounts how "Infinity," a person once loved, lured them back with false promises, only to reveal a heart devoid of warmth or sincerity. The poet likens her words to withering autumn leaves and her intentions to a cold, unyielding winter. These natural elements emphasize the fragility and transience of her affection, contrasting sharply with the deep and nurturing love once offered by the speaker, described as a blossoming garden filled with roses and wildflowers.

As the poem progresses, the focus shifts to the spiritual and emotional cost of Infinity's choices. Her pursuit of wealth and superficial gains transforms her into a "restless sea," suggesting inner turmoil and instability. The speaker, left behind, is metaphorically "drowning" in sorrow, highlighting the depth of his emotional pain. The final stanza carries a tone of bitterness and loss, as the speaker compares his once vibrant love to a "rich tapestry" reduced to "mere threads of gold"—beautiful yet stripped of meaning. The heart once full of life and passion is now labeled a "relic," underscoring the irreversible damage caused by betrayal and emotional neglect.
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.
