There it sat, the mark of riches
White, round, and in tune
Just pick a channel
Set up the chain of command
Turn the barrel to frequency
And receive
No matter the privacy of home
The whole town knew the view
They were aware of the mind
The body that carried it out
Even when the company appeared
They received
A quiet giggle and sideways walk
Out the door, gossip on the lips
The dripping never ceased
Yet no one, and I mean, NO ONE
Spoke of the images on the screen
Being received
When someone has the courage
To display filth in the presence of others
Without guilt, shame, remorse
You're left to ask about private matters
Behind closed doors of iron
Cowering in the awareness
She receives....

It's neither full moon, nor supermoon
But the moon is brighter than usual
You know why?
It's because every Indian gazes upon
the moon with pride filled eyes
From growing up listening
to the cooked up moon stories of grannies
To seeing our lander vikram soft landing
Our hearts are full,
For we embraced a success uncanny
The Chandrayan not only carried
the Vikram, Prayag and payloads
But also the dreams of
millions of people
And endeavours of thousands of scientists
Enduring many sleepless nights
Sacrificing their health and family time
Our diligent scientists confronted a lot
Ergo, Chandrayan touched the moon
And so our India
By virtue of scientists' agility
Bearing great responsibilities
The Vikram landed on the moon
And stands tall
And so our India
Kudos to the team ISRO
Thank you!!!! You make us proud!!!
Procession of lights
Towards conservatory
Is life's satellite.
He doesn’t launch Satellite
Who had not seen the light,
Fears nursed about not-warned fight,
Shows of military might…
Yet, scouts for news from regions,
Launchers won’t mind from Legions;
Granted Data Collector
But it does count: Director:
To nations innards Surgeon
Wherever men live or sojourn…
Perhaps, in principle right,
Still in reality not white:
One is proven the nosy,
In life things are not rosy
Or else the Trouble Maker,
In peace meetings a Faker!
Who told me you're a lazy
They make me everything easy.
Who called me a crazy yak
They advanced me to mind work.
Who is defrauding me in the shop
They are teaching me to wake up.
Who is hurling at me words of pain
They are telling me to get ready to fain.
Who is interfering with my activity
They allowed the opportunity to involve in the jollity.
Whom looking at me with eyes of disparate
They notified me that you are differentiated from satellite.
There is a rocket firing off today
Sending a business adventure trip far away
With the thunder below
Up it will go
Looking to put technology in the sky
In a late afternoon scripted signature that everyone on the beach will wave bye bye
Falcon number nine is spending the dime
To climb climb climb
Calling the plays from the huddle
Very near to the pad for the shuttle
Internet interaction will be shared
In this mechanical bon voyage that has flair
Traveling to many orbits out there
Sixty broadband satellites will be dispersed
Into the vast universe
After the fact that been confirmed
Space X had money to burn
Linking the stars from above
With Intergalactic communication that fits like a glove
T Minus the launch will be here
Giving us new apps to play with next year
IF I WERE A .....
If I were a ballerina,
I’d have the most graceful moves,
I’d be richer then Katrina,
I’d have shod with gold my horses shoes.
If I were an astronaut,
Which I’m planning to be ,
I’d send many a satellite to Mercury hot,
Oh! It’s fun to dream about what I’m going to be.
But most of all I want to be a person,
Who loves someone for who they are,
Who cares for everyone,
Not only for money and car,
These are only mortal wealths,
But what matters most is a person’s health.
Star light why so bright?
you're not a star but a satellite
You hover around like a drone,
but not a drone who is owned
I stare up into the dark night,
my focus has shifted
somethings not right,
fuzzy haze in the twilight
A hood covers its glowing eyes
It hovers in invisible disguise
Concentrate not on the orb
surrounding it lights absorbed
Once it's seen you can't unsee
you wish it were just a dream
Transparent is its shape and form
Is it alive or never born?
Like a wraith one of the undead
watching you from overhead
Will, it benefit mankind on its way,
or unveil itself on Judgment day?
All the day I wait for the night,
Before the night, I look for games and neon light,
Calling up my friends for this wonderful time,
Done punctually with my homework before this time,
Especial tent is made for enjoying the night,
From far away, this night tent looks like castle,
Grapes, apple, and papaya aren't allowed for this time,
Hamburger, cold drink and french fries are welcomed for this night,
I am the only one who doesn't sleep at night,
Just because I want to enjoy when everyone see dreams,
Knowledge of moon during its time,
Lonely, I might be studying its movement during its night,
Making noises may disturb the ones who enjoy their dreams,
Not only the people may be disturbed,
Our sleeping satellite might also get disturbed at its time,
Party at night time is full of joy,
Queen of night is none other than me,
Resting, sleeping and enjoying party like me,
Starts and ends only at night time!
Love [ luhv ]
noun
1.enigma
i.e. - Your love was like a drug rushin through my veins
I got higher when we would play hurtful games
I would cheat on you, you would play with my insecurities till they ate me alive
You would think we would run, but deeper we would dive
I wanted a child & you wanted the same
Remember you would hold me tight when you came
To take care of me when I was hung over
You were my nurse all the get well supplies you bought over
You actually loved grandiose me you saw something in me that I couldn't see
Nurse me back for the next party tonight, nah I'm going dolo, I'mma call you in the morning aight
I really did love you but I didn't know how to show it
I want to take care of my responsibilities & you have to know it
DNA is stronger than you think
Just like the legend of Zelda we'll always have a link
I just pray that you & I can see eye to eye
& that no more tears have to fall from either of our sky
I love that my little satellite
Orbits around my head
Spinning through my emotions
Where nothing need be said
Brings to me the moon and stars
On which to make my bed
My funny little satellite
That orbits around my head
M-oon moves unnoticed,
P-lanet earth's telescope sees
R-eflected light clear.

A Godsend, a child, our gift from On High.
Lord bless this one, all he can and must be.
Eternal, now our name will never die--
High flying creation of you and me.
Our greatest design, the plan is perfect
Build sturdy engines that jet to the top.
He must understand his future is set
Why won’t he cooperate? This must stop.
Ready for flight, geocentric orbit.
Dance in the cosmos, yet be sure it’s near.
High nerves in Houston, they note in a fit,
Escape velocity from this dim sphere.
Rocket off our scanners; what shall we do?
Bricks in the cargo of ship number two.

October 2015. Several people who are no longer at satellite cafe have asked the cafe to give their poems to them. If you wish to back your poems up you will have to do this on your own. We are a website to post poetry and grow as a writer but we are not a website to back up personal work .......(gee Samantha , YA THINK) the only way to assure this is by beds ,hard copy , flash drive or other duplicator means.
Thank you from the management of

Beep beep...ker er er...err err err
It can't be...
The telemetry...
It's Sputnik!
It's still alive!
I told my commander,
But he originally didn't think
Anything of it.
No sir! It really is Sputnik!
Listen to it's signal.
The Commander couldn't believe
What he was hearing, and witnessing altogether!
He turned ghost white,
It brought him to tears.
Commander?
Sputnik... I thought it had drifted away...
forever...
