Title: Pioneers of the Middle English

Date: 12 March 2025

In Middle English Period, there rose many literary Legends

Through whom, the vernacular language got strengthened

Born in the 14th century

Starting from nothing, but zero

Yet his deeds forever kept him in our memory

He was the commoners' hero

Crowned as the father of prose

Acknowledged by the later generations

Yet went against that period's cross

Termed as a heretic

Tainted the bible of the catholic

Yeah, he's our John Wycliffe

Translating the holy book from Latin to English

Bringing it to the common people's reach

Why only keep it for the nobles

Let the common people also have a read

They were not that literate

Latin was away from their hand

Let the vernacular language shine

"Don't worry, I'll preserve every single line"

That was his conviction

Yet, the church granted him Excommunication

Hero of the 14th Century

Ended with an epic tragedy

His body dragged from the grave

The dead could not stay in a peaceful state

The remains burned to ashes

His beliefs turned into heresies

Wycliffe ended with tragedy

Yet he left behind his legacy

The Vernacular English

Picked up by the later Literary Community

One John went away, another John came,

But both were part of the same literary game.

While Wycliffe gave the Bible to the people,

Gower, with his Confessio, gave love and morals to all.

John Gower with his Confessio Amantis came to the scene

Showing the path of love like an angelic beam

Amantis' divine guidance,

Salvation of Genius's sins

Truly a didactic masterpiece

What we really need to glean

Finally comes Geoffrey Chaucer

The Father of English Literature

Legend follows his name

A great storyteller, known across the European land

Embodied with the vernacular flame

Riding on the common people's train

He wrote one masterpiece after another

Starting a great literary campaign

He didn't choose Latin

Didn't choose French

Far from the Elites

He walked along with John Wycliffe

The very reason he was distinguished

Yeah, he wrote in Vernacular English

Writing in the common peoples' tongue

He managed to convey what was going on

The life of that time people

Be they elite or the common

He wrote about everyone

Without any division

A knightly tale

A merchant's sail

A miller's dream

A friar's sins

A Roman Lady's tribulation

The Royalty's Abolition

He wrote 24 such stories

Collected in the Canterberry Tales

A true literary marvel

Besides the above, there's Troilus and Criseyde

Another major literary contribution

While the former might be the magnum opus

The later couldn't be looked down on

Telling a tragic story of love and loss

United through the half

Later becoming a betrayer

Portraying love and hate to the heroin

A theme based on the trojan warfare

There are more to history than what one could list

There aren't enough spaces to write in this poetic piece

Let's end it for today 

Enjoy the poetic chill

Written in the exam-hall

Based on Literary history 

I wanted to write more

Yet time couldn't keep on

It's running still

Left min 15

Got another question in sight

I'm really in a great plight

Have some pity

For I wrote such a large poetry 

Please a bit of mercy

If the 2nd answer turned a bit hasty

Title: My mother's a warrior

My mother's a warrior

She never loses hope,

She's always fighting on

While struggling on a slope 

She's a warrior

Whom I admire from my birth

Nobody's there to support

She fought alone from the start

She's an entrepreneur

Building her business from scratch

She became a teacher

Teaching people culinary classes

She got many admirers

Because she helps people without any cost

But there's also some who're jealous

Hidden behind the shadows

She's a warrior

But she made some mistakes

She trusts people too much

And that is all what it takes

They betrayed her

Stabbing her on the back

Then she saw it

Her future, dream and hope crumbling to pieces

She's a warrior 

Who once got granted a land

They said whatever she wants to build, she can build it

She was so jubilant

She hoped to build here an office

Teaching thousands of students

But once the project was completed

They denied the said promises

Revoking the land

She had no right to build here

Her dreams crumbling to dust and sand

She's a warrior 

Fighting on a desolate battlefield

She's fighting alone

While people were scheming

She's now so lost 

She's losing hope 

Surrounding by darkness and encroaching shadows

How to get out?

There's no daylight!

But.....

She's a warrior

With an eternally strong will

Her heart was glowing

Showing the path out to a new beginning

She's a warrior

Now starting a new journey,

Never looking back towards the people who succeeded with their scheming.

She's a warrior

I hope she succeeds everywhere

There's thousands of admirers

Who gave blessings from afar

One day she'll climb to the Everest from the dead sea

That will be the time for a new history for all to see

Title: Dandelion

Time: 9:38 am, April 2025

Take me to your world and raise me like a dandelion

I'm a weed; can grow anywhere

Be they a heart of ice or stone

You don't have to take care of me

I can grow on my own

Just let me in your heart

And one day when you turn

I'll be everywhere you look

A field of dandelions Inside your heart in loop.

Title: A crack in the wall which got fixed!

I'm a person who's lonely

A loner but not sorry

I'm used to be alone

I'm used to stay at home

I had no friends

No one to talk

But you came out of the blue

Out of a dark thunderstorm

Was it a twist of fate or destiny's decree

That I met a person like you who talked with me

I thought I was used to be,

Used to be alone.

But no, I was wrong

I missed warm hug and love

Love which I missed from birth

I was really feeling lonely

At home it was me only

Wanted to talk to, but there was nobody

I was not needed by my family

I was hungry of some hug

You came to me and I felt the warmth

I was happy

it was fate

that I met you, a good comrade

I needed your company

You made my heart warm, a feeling so deep

Like honey, both warming and sweet

I miss you a lot

The day you were with me was short

it's not enough

Fate is cruel

it broke my heart.

Would I ever be able to meet you again

Maybe in the next life if there's any or in heaven

See you soon my love

In this life, we fell apart

but in the next one I'll give you my heart.

Title: Going along with fate 

My life is like a boat without a captain

I don't struggle

I don't move

I go wherever the river of time leads me to

I don't think about what's gonna come next

I know that i just need to do my best

I don't worry about the future

I laugh at whatever comes to me

Be it good news bad news

Happiness, sadness

I'm just careless

As i receive everything with a laugh

Laughing at every situation

As i know worries and panic won't do anything

Why not enjoy your life then

I just have to do my best at whatever comes next

Just be cheerful happy always smile

Let whatever may come next while you conquer a mile

5. Title: Where are you mom

Date = 2019, exact date uncertain

Where are you mom?

There's no one in the home.

Dad went to work

But he never came back

And it's already dark.

Mom where have you gone?

You left me alone.

You said that you'll be back

But you never came.

There's no one to help me

There's no one who listen to me

There's no one to depend upon

And I'm all alone.

Mom I'm hungry

But there's no one to feed me.

Mom I don't feel sleepy

But there's no one to sing me lullaby.

Mom when will you return

There's no one to play

I wait for you everyday.

Mom today teacher was angry on me.

But what was my fault?

They just only scold.

They can bully me because I have no one to depend upon

They can bully me because I'm weak and alone.

Mom I'm scared

It's thunderstorm outside

When will I feel the warmth of your bosom again

And I'm afraid.

Mom where have you gone?

You left me alone.

There's no one to help me

There's no one who understand me

There's no one who listen to me

There's no one to comfort me

You left me alone

Mom where have you gone

Oo where have you gone

Mom did you forgot

That you said you'll be back

Mom where have you gone

You left me alone

Yeah I'm all alone.

Mom don't you miss me

But I do miss you.

You never kept the word you said

But I kept believing in my faith.

That one day you'll be back

I wait for you everyday

May God listen to my pray.

Where are you mom?

There's no one in the home.

I'm all alone

Where have you gone

Where have you gone

Please return

So that I can yell at the sky

Yes I too have a mom

Yes I have a mom

Ye..s I too.... Have a mom

If Life was a Poem

Date: 7:20 am, 12 march, 2025

Life is a poem

It got its ups and down

If you are bored

Let's make rhythmic sounds

History into poetry

Math into a story

Study into a game

Normality is so lame.

Poetry is an art

Woven into a mental frame

Some understands it

Some not

Some feel it

Some relaxing in great mode.

Let's write our story

Why can't everyday be a memorable poetry

Feel it, write it, make it yours

More magical, more emotional

Better than prose.

Title: Dream

Time: 2 October, 2020

No dream no future

Dream is what makes us go forward

Walk with your dream

Try with your heart

And go ahead

Build your future.

8. Proposal

Time: 7:00, 19 October 2024

You are not just a chapter of my life 

Neither are you a novel

You're a library full of S grades (hidden gems) 

Worth of lots of memory, not empty stone tablets

You're the life wire of a dead circuit

CSS of my html code

You're the colors of my blank canvas

Giving life to it with every stroke

You are the verb in my sentence, giving life to every thought

The subject of my every line, without you, my words fall apart

You're the punctuation to my prose, bringing meaning and order to my chaos

The grammar to my language, without you, I'm just a jumble of words

You're everything dear to me

The color codes of a black and white TV, 

Everything gray, till you appear in the scene

Giving life its own meaning.

You're the true memories of my blank life

Appearing like a thunder in a dead sky

Showering lights to the still now forever black night

How blissful it's for me

To find the path out of this mage I was walking alone till bored

Will you be the reader of my boring novel called life

Hoping that I'd get inspired

And the future chapters won't be gray 

But shining bright!

9. Title: Life

Time: 1 December 2024

Life is when you feel the fresh air out of your home

Life is when you watch the birds flying in the sky

Life is when you dream of flying just like those birds

Life is when you step on the soil outside of your house

Life is when you start running towards your goal

Life is when you spread your arms ashore

Life is when you talk with people, play with your friends 

Life is something full of infinite possibilities, which never ends

10. Title: The last smile

Time: July 5, 2023

This is not a poem,

This is not a song,

Just a little story of mine,

Continue reading on.

There once was a girl who endured

At the tender age of five, she was kidnapped.

Locked in the darkest cage,

Her delicate body subjected to cruel experiments.

Days of suffering stretched endlessly,

Her screams fell on deaf ears,

No one there to listen, to hear her pleas.

She met children of similar plight,

Became companions, people she wanted to give her trust.

They promised to face it together,

To be each other's strength,

Surviving and fighting forever,

But betrayal is what came in the end.

They pushed her towards the depths of hell,

Exploiting her for their petty ambitions.

This torment repeated again and again,

Until the hopes no more

Went away the trust

Died down the light

Humans can't be trusted

She came to believe in her heart

Gone away the naive girl

She fell into the abyss

Lost her hope

lost her heart

She became a broken girl

She follows what she's told

Moves like a doll who has no soul

Enduring the inhumane tortures that follows

She became a human no more.

Then came a day

She became the inhuman being they made

She became a monster they created

And they had it paid

She had her revenge and came out of the cage

Leaving behind endless carnage

The sole survivor of their experiments

She came to the surface but there's no light

As far as she looks, only darkness in her eyes

She was without a soul,

Without a heart,

Without hope,

Without trust.

She doesn't know what to do

How to survive this lonely world.

She has no goal,

No path to follow

Her dream of freedom,

She achieved it with pain and sorrow.

No happiness,

No smile,

No fulfillment,

Only Vacant eyes.

Her smiles were forever lost,

Living with an empty heart,

Avoiding humans whom she could not trust,

Guarded against their every move.

She approached the world with such doubts,

Wilderness became her only refuge,

Far from the people whom she loathes.

She trusted no delicate sights,

Knowing that even beautiful flowers have their poisonous side.

The colorful world is full of darkness

Everyone's an enemy,

Only showing false kindness

The girl who trusted nobody,

Started living with the whole world in doubt.

Title: Pawn's Gambit Declined

Date: 5:50 pm, 14th April 2025

Once there was a pawn with hope for its future so bright

Every day it worked hard, climbing hills and mountains to walk far.

It was faster than all

Days passed by with weeks coming.

It was walking for its future, waking up early every morning.

Went away time, passed away bishop, knight and soldiers.

Even the state's queen sacrificed herself

And our lonely soldier was full of hope for himself.

Then at last, when it was just one step away from promotion

Never looking back again, full of hope and emotions

The siren rung; the king got defeated!

All the solders of the state turned into slaves

It was a sudden demotion

Pulling it towards its grave.

12. Title: The promise of a new day

Time: 8:13 pm, April 7 2025

Don't lose hope even if the world is dark

Keep looking forward for a new day to come

There will soon rise a new sun

And the light shall fall in turn

Darkness gone in a moment before you see

Keep smiling and be free

The world has so many good things in tone

Stay strong together 

You are not alone

Title: I'm here

When you're alone

When there's no light

Darkness encroaches

When you're in fright.

Don't be afraid

Don't think that you're alone

You just need to remember 

I'm always with you

Care about you

Don't be scared

Don't be nervous

Don't shed tear

I'm always here

No need to cry

No need to lie

Nothing will happen

Let the fear die.

You're brave

You're strong

Sing the victory song

I know you can do this

You're not weak

You're strong

Stronger than those

Who loses hope

So don't be scared

Don't be nervous

Don't shed tear

I'm always here

Don't be afraid

Don't think that you're alone

You just need to remember 

I'm always with you

Care about you

Just stand-up

Look ahead

March on

The night is still long

Title: Bullying you is loving you

Time: 24th December 2023

Big brother's happiness lies in bullying the younger sister

I'm gonna bully your

Bully you till you cry

I'm gonna steal the chocolates then deny

Gonna steal the sweets

Steal the toys

Ruin your day

And laugh to my joy

I'm gonna ruin your makeup

Ruin your dress

Pour roaches on the bed

And make a mess

I'm gonna change the channel

And play what you hate

Watch some horror movies

Scare you to death

I'm gonna tell all your secrets

Embarrass you infront of friends

Adding salt instead of sugar

In your favorite milkshake 

Blaming you over my wrong doings

Evidence pointing towards you

My evil plannings

But dear sis, it's not a hate

All of this , just a sibling's sweet mistake

I love you , which is not fake

Just an evil brother, in evil ways.

Title: A rainy day and a dancing student

Time: 9.47 am September 17, 2024

...

One day when I got out of my university

There was a little rain

I wanted to return early

But there was no vehicle

I was a sickly person

But it's only a drizzle

Getting a little wet?

It would be not that much of a pain

I started walking

But again there was no vehicle on my sight

I turned on the music

Swinging from left to right

I started dancing on the road

It's been years I got drenched so much for

I was heavily sheltered because of my sickness

But then what's the meaning of life and my existence

If I don't have some fun every once in a while?

I crossed hundreds of meter listening to music

Again there's no vehicle, everyone in hurry to return, busy with their own things

At that time I was really drenched from head to toe

But I didn't care, there was music to enjoy

I started dancing on the very road

Treating the rain as a spotlight and behold 

Taking the road as a stage on my own right

Swinging in joy and jumping to fly

Without some fun life is so boring

So why not enjoy in your own ways?

As I was dancing and swinging

I suddenly saw a vehicle about to park 

I rushed quickly with my beating heart

Brother, wanna visit my house in Donchamber

Lil brother, how much are you willing to pay?

I'm gonna give you 60

Is there anything for you to say?

Brother, there's actually a lot

In such a rainy day, won't there be some care to my spot?

While laughing, I replied 

You're inside, I'm outside

You got a roof

Above me, there's dark clouds

If I give you care, do you have anything to share?

Brother, get inside, say no more

Hurry up before you get drenched to the core

I got inside and tuned in

Swinging from left to right to the music

I noticed that he took other passengers

But as long as I can return

What do I really care

And that's how my day ended

Waiting for a new beginning

See you later

With new stories for briefing.

16. Title: Experience of a newbie player

Time: 3.25 am, 16 September 2024

A fellow reader recommended me Toram online

I installed and played it in my leisure time

Week long time leveling up my 3 characters as I go

No one but me, all solo

I was playing happily all alone 

But then realized as I looked around

Everywhere I see, above and beyond 

All wearing gorgeous dresses from top to bottom

There were no newbies in the newbie village

There was just me, the only baggage

Then I got obsessed for some good loots

I just needed an outfit for looking good

I hunted around day and night

But there's only miscellanies amount of drop in the end of every fight

There's hardly anything for me to get

It was the moment I was getting really depressed

Then, there suddenly appeared someone for me to see

He was dressed as... just like a newbie

There appeared light at the bottom of the dark sea

He was a new player, just like me 

How fortunate to meet a fellow countryman in a foreign state

I felt that, it must have been arranged by fate 

And look at his name

It says "I'm a newbie player"

Oh! What a wonder

God must have heard my prayer

I was really excited to the tea

A fellow newbie!

Just like me

I messaged and talked for hours as we went ahead

Exchanging newbie hardship and troubles we had to face

I was very happy and felt we were true kindreds

And then added each other to the VR contacts

But then I realized, it was all fake

It was a scam

He was a tiger pretending to be a chicken

He was of level 290, me level 69

Oh, you *******, I got thousand of cursed lines

Not 2, not 3 but 4 

Even if I multiply, he got 14 levels more 

I felt like a penniless beggar meeting someone worth thousand crores

He lied to me, cheated me of my feelings

But actually he didn't say anything

It was all along just my own belief

That I met someone who's the same

Though it turned out to be only in name

Yes, it was all because of his name

He was also dressed like a newbie without any shame

Now who's fault is it

I believe it's him to blame

After all of my misunderstanding and resentment cooled down

He brought me to see the world around

Giving me OP items and leveling me up for free

Though I didn't want to accept them and offered him money

He just laughed away without taking a single thing

I realized the items were worth more than I could ever imagine

I didn't insist and just took it as a token of friendship

Though I still call him a ******* who likes pretending

Then, as we passed the town

He finally showed me his true colors

Throwing out op skills

Even the void shatters 

Raining down exp from a crack in the sky

He made it look so easy

As if a pig could also fly 

Slaughtering a pitiful dragon 

There's no tears to even cry 

Oh, how I wish I had the same skills as him

Need to level up quickly

I don't want to forever remain green

It was truly an experience out of a novel

I decided to enclose it

To save it in a poem

But I don't have much time to write in quatrains

So I can only do by couplets 

Though I'd like to edit it when I'm free

The poem is too long, even for me

Title: Last Minute Cramming

Time: March 2025 (Exact date uncertain)

The fate of the exam on the fly

I know I'm gonna die.

Literary terms flying over my head,

Yeah, I know I'm so dead.

What to do when I laze around the whole year

Trying to cram everything on the day of the very exam

Fiction, non - fiction, literary terms

Topics of my mid-term exam.

Tomorrow is the C.T.

Got no time, it's the last minute

I need to be witty

Listening to phonk music

Chilling on my throne

In front of me is the laptop monitor

Beside me is my phone

One is showing exam materials

Another with friends chatting on

That's how I study

Not serious in any way.

I only burst with concentration,

On my execution day.

Title: From waiting to writing

Time: 25 October 2023

I feel emptiness

when my favorite novel ends

I feel emptiness

when there's no new songs to sing

So I'm waiting

waiting for a new release

So I'm waiting

waiting for a new song to sing

And I'm waiting

waiting but can't wait anymore

So picked up my pen to write my own song to sing

Writing my own novel to read

Writing my own imaginations

Finding my own new passion

I was waiting and waiting

But can't wait anymore

I was looking everywhere for a new creation

But there's nothing new to be

So, I thought it's time for the writer to be me!

Title: My Silly Cousin

Time: 14 February 2023

Today my cousin searched everywhere

Upside downside below the blanket

Every nook and cranny under the bed 

Where is it where is it can't find it

Threw away everything even the bedsheet

There goes the pillows , there goes the blanket

Also torn down the newly hanged mosquito net

Everything got upside down but can't find it anywhere

Where did I last put it , he can't remember

After everything got messed up

Nothing could be found

In despair he went downstairs

And found his glasses were at his home.

C.What is this shit!:

Title: Highway traffic party 

Time: 2:50 am, 21 April 2025

Oh the grid is locked 

How to get it unlocked

Just plug the speaker to the socket

And music blasting out like a rocket.

Oh, let's go let's go

Dancing on the road

Oh, let's go let's go

Moving with the tune

Cars honking with fume

A party ensuing

Our limbs are on swing

Let's go let's go

The party on full blaze 

The drivers are on craze

And we are dancing with grace....

23. Texts as vision

My life is only full of texts and character

The effect of reading books for over 15 hours

When talking with people I don't look at their face

I look at their soul and characteristics

I only look at the text and characters

On the road I don't see any pictures 

The picture lays in the mind while substance in the eyes

Substance may deceit but character never lies.

Title: Cursed Alarm

Throw out a grenade

Burn down your home

Hey wake up

Wake up, otherwise I'll do something bad

Throw out your blanket

Set fire on your bed

Bury you alive and fertilize grasses on your grave

Wake up, wake up

Or suffer the fate

Of a restless eternity

Wake up, wake up

Before it's too late

Or face the regret

Of a missed chance to escape.

Wake up wake up

You sleepy head

If not awake now

You'll find yourself in grave
