Big Bang Theory's'

It's sort of strange to realize that the universe had a start,
and that once it appeared, the main body started attracting part by part
Before the Big Bang, space was nothing but a void of vacuum and dust
with a few sparks here and there, and maybe an occasional gust
But after the Big Bang occurred, space wasn't an endless tunnel of black
humans can explore it all they want, though gravity holds them back
Our universe was a 'singularity' 13.7 billion years before
(singularities are substances that exist at a black hole's core)
It was infinitesimally small, and infinitely hot and dense
after its appearance it expanded and cooled considerably, from whence
it continues to do so till this very day, and this very hour
housing a unique planet, circling around a beautiful star
and it's clustered to a trillion balls of heat- the sun isn't at the core
so the entire galaxy and universe, through the cosmos they continue to soar
Why there's static on television screens, no one knows too clearly,
but most people know that it roots back to the Big Bang Theory

They're all a bunch of nerds- geniuses but self-possessed,
and with quantum physics and god-knows-what they're constantly obsessed
The characters are really good, but Sheldon has to be the best
his eccentric and non-conventional ways completely overshadow the rest
He has a total lack of social skills, and believes in adherence to routine,
he cannot feel humility, and his surroundings must be cleaner than clean
He can speak 5 languages, as well as 'Klingon' from Star Trek
though he faints at the sight of blood, he still has high intellect
And then there's Leonard Hofstadter- well, he's a bit more formal
and looks positively smarter among his group abnormal
As for Howard and Raj- there's little I have to say
though they can't go without fighting with each other every other day
And Penny, a waitress, beautifully gorgeous and blond
with a dream to be an actress; she's very protective of those who she's fond
Although the show comes so often, to watch it I barely have time
but it must be interesting enough if I decide to initiate a rhyme

4 SERIES :HARRY, KATNISS, PERCY, BELLA

He had untidy hair, and bright green eyes
beneath which, a grief-stricken life lies
He had lost his parents in a twist of fate
when the villain came storming at his gate
Before his downfall, there latched a part of his soul
on the young boy's- they completed each other as a whole
So at Hogwarts, when Harry was about to sort,
he would have been in the house of Lord Voldemort
Then the world realized Harry could speak to snakes
his innocence and purity, all at stake
But so noble he was, so inherently brave
that endless contributions to the wizarding world he gave

There she was- olive skinned with a braid
memories of her father, unable to fade
In her days so discriminating and grim,
stars her sister- sweet, loving Prim
The bow and arrow were a major part of her life
towards the happiness of her sister was her major strive
A reasonable time before Prim's name was drawn
when Katniss volunteered, it was imminent her life was gone
She had battled grief, hunger and cold at first
but in the Games she battled betrayal, injuries and thirst
When she slept she had nightmares, never a dream,
as the Capitol carried out its suppressing regime

Though his life isn't as depressing as that of Harry or Katniss,
missions and prophecies combined, it couldn't have been bliss
Harassed  by the Olympian gods of Roman and Greek, 
the elimination of heroes, they would constantly seek
And Percy was the son of Poseidon, one of the Big Three
which explained his inhuman power in relation to the sea
and was why he could set the most dangerous monster free
but in war he stood tall, never to flee
He had been to the underworld, sea of monsters, 
and had even held up the sky
he had set foot in the labyrinth, then bathed in the river Styx,
never to die
But he had witnessed so many heroes die, leave or just disappear
and for the downfall of the gods, his family, was his fear

In her life- so very dull and dark
so had shown as the brightest spark
She appeared so mature, as though twice her age
and with people, she was never really on the same page
That took a turn when she grew fond of a vampire
and the strange things in her days just kept creeping higher
when a werewolf then turned out to be her new best friend
with mythical creatures, she was unable to fend
A force had drawn her to the land of rain
which offered her so much to lose, and so little to gain
Yet it gave her immortality, and eyes which glowed red
never again on normal food she fed

Funny, isn't it, how there characters have such a depressing tale
Though to impress the reader, the story will rarely fail...

My Inalienable Friendship with an Alien

Now nothing seems normal after that eventful winter noon,
as I never thought I'd meet someone more distant than the moon
My perspective about everything changed quicker than the speed of light,
and I found myself gazing above in the deafening silence of night

Though he appeared strange, he possessed a certain charm
and I instantly realized- to me he would never, ever harm
Yet his identity and features, I am forbidden to disclose
as I understand the immediate threat humanity would impose
But our conversation and experience, I'd be delighted to narrate
But if you're uninterested in unearthly beings, you really don't have to wait

After overcoming the initial shock of a spectral creature at my door,
I invited him into the living room so he could talk some more
"This planet is rather strange," he'd whisper in his silky voice
"But an unknown force attracted my ship, and I didn't really have a choice"
"I left my home to search for the cure to a very dreaded disease,
so that my land can finally be healthy, and there will resume peace
And I'm not even close", he mumbled, starting to get upset
and I realized his distress was contagious, as I began to fret
"And I feel quite ill myelf, for I suddenly shake and shiver."
I surveyed him sympathetically ; in his stance there was a definite quiver
I could hear my stomach growl, so I decided to get something to eat
and to make my friend feel better, I'd give him a similar treat
Just as I was reaching for the tall carton of Pringles,
time seemed to pause for a moment, the air began to tingle
"Yes", he breathed "There is one thing I am very sure..."
"..in this house, in this room, is hidden the desired cure."
I let my imagination fly, along with ideas and emotion,
what could be this antidote- a spell, a drink or a potion?
"And it's right there," he breathed, pointing to a deep green leaf,
I didnt know what I was expecting, but something beyond belief
He took the spinach in his hands, a grin spreading across his face
"I've found it! I must return home, and leave this blessed place!"
That must have been the authentic cure, for he seemed to radiate heat
his eyes were brighter than stars, he couldn't stop shuffling his feet
Before I could react, bid good bye, or for that matter even blink
he stretched his arm out towards the Sun, and vanished in a trace of ink

 I learnt that we should never eat spinach, we should only keep it to preserve
so that we can save a civilization, whose medicines they truly deserve
But I wasn't thinking about how my latest conversation would bring me fame
I was only dwelling upon the fact, that I hadn't even asked for his name
I just hope his galaxy has internet....

The Rose

Amidst a threshold of perennial woods
a powerful palace of the king stood
it functioned on well-being, truth and peace
its purity of subjects, never to cease
and once the prince's potential was shown
he was next to ascend the throne
But it became apparent, that he was not destined to rule
for the prince was unforgiving, haughty and cruel
As when a helpless old lady appeared at his door
the man turned her away, and said no more
She then offered him a rose, for a place to sleep at night
when he selfishly refused, there was a blinding flash of light
and there stood a fairy, dazzling and bright

As recognition hit, he was lost in a desperate plea
begging to redeem himself, for condonement, for  mercy
Yet the fairy saw darkness in his heart
one lacking love, which he shunned on his part
So she flicked her wand towards the east
and the prince transformed into a monstrous beast
The fairy then presented him with her rose,
which the prince realized, pulses and glows
She stated that until the prince found love
each magical petal will wither, and rise above
And, the maiden whom he loves, should as well
for till then, the flower shall continue to fell
and once it becomes a plain, green stalk
in the body of the beast, his soul will remain locked

The prince guarded the rose's secret, with his life
to postpone its withering, was his constant strive
At times the loneliness was too much to handle
despite his subjects, a clock and a candle
Yet the prince was more fortunate than one can tell
for he met the beautiful, maiden Belle

Though the prince then turned human, there lay the flower
abandoned, forgotten, having lost its special power
It remained in the dungeons, never to be found
with a few dull pink petals, resting on the ground
