"recharged" poems
Gwyneth Paltrow’s ****** Candle may be completely sold out, but it's not the only bizarre product she sells – how about jade eggs that can be inserted into the ****** and “recharged” with the light of a full moon? All things considered, the candle is pretty much on-brand...

"This Smells Like My ****** Candle
when in stillness undying screams within explode anxieties crawl like bugs under the skin of which the world is deaf n blind when in stillness callued demons awake trashes revealed clogging up the mind for hundred years or so when in stillness they melt away energy recharged vibration flows the vines lightness comes up eyeing n eyeing n eyeing the mind pattern n sensation with full awareness of which free from cravings or aversions to stillness and equanimity we sync

The Aurora Nova Misson: Oct 19th 2201 Zero hour 8am..  Aurora solar system...  4 planets sustaining life..   We see their sun.. The state of its supernova has already begun.  We have to act fast!  And toward the sun we went..  To calm the anger inside of it.. To prevent supernova..  To save the 4 planets that sustain life..  As we get there we see the levels of pressure start to drop..  The sun is calming on its own it seems!  But something else is doing the job for us..  Something that got there first..  It was then we saw it..  It had wings made of blue light.. It was a creature of my childhood fairytales..  A dragon!  He would dive into the sun fixing whatever was wrong with it..  But he wasn't alone..  Thousands of others came out of the sun leaving it recharged with solar energy.. They then gathered together.. Their wings shined like the sun itself and they blazed off into the stars.. Seems they also heard the cry for help.. The S.O.S among the stars..  They just got here faster than we did..

The Aurora Nova Misson: Oct 19th 2201
Don't be silly ofcourse I am a ****** who has freakish tendencies and uses jibber jabber language and makes absurd analogies like how fried Oreoes, when converted into global currency, is worth one hundred Indian virgins. Fact: I am awkward. I make people feel uncomfortable and they can never follow my train of thought because it leaves at 4pm from Seattle and will end up in Atlantis at approximately 3,000 BCE (unless you take wind resistence into account). I would sometimes rather sit alone and read a book than go out and have "fun" with people and I can become very irritable when around humans for too long and then my brain becomes unfriendly and my demeanor becomes elderly and dry and jokes are not funny but just tiring and childish and then I know it's time for my nap which does not involve sleeping, because that's more of a miracle than walking on ceilings so I mostly sit, eyes open staring and sorting out thoughts, filing away emotions and sensory experiences until I feel recharged and have enough bars to go out and play again.

Yogurt Lattes
'No,' she said, as we waited, 'that’s not right.' Not fading, but returning, rising through full spectrums of radiant light until, to the human eye it appears to fade        (pale white to a silver grey) but it simply steps into a vision that is reserved for keener eyes than ours.        (like ultraviolet) Not fading, but transforming, travelling at a speed forever known as its own. Always keen to get home in a fit state to enjoy a few hours with its feet up by the ebb and glow of its evening fire        (red with blues and greens) before rising, rested, to greet the dawn recharged with the full force of the sunrise.        (bold yellow and blood orange) No, not fading.  That fails to see the truth that it’s taking paths through deeper shadows        (purples and blues mostly) which our deceptive eyes struggle to grasp and in our weakness, it is lost to us. Then she gasped, and I saw that she was right, the light didn't fade, but it stepped ahead waiting at the next bend of hope’s rainbow.        (a glow of pure gold)

Fading Light. [Sitting with my mother]
The thing you do to a discharged cell, Or to the socks that have too much of a smell, What is it? Doesn’t it ring a bell? Because You adhere to that policy so very well… The thing you do to a flower that’s dead, So also to a pencil that’s out of lead, The same unfortunate fate of a broken wooden bed, A habit of yours that lies imbibed in your head… The death call for a tire with no air, The plight of a writer who has lost his flare, The epitaph of a man about whom nobody cares, The cold obsoleteness of all your stares… The gills of a fish outside of water, The remains of a pig after its meaty slaughter, The detriment of someone devoid of fun and laughter, You certainly know about all this better… A Kingless queen in a match of chess, A game of chance without a single guess, A heart beating oh so loveless, Their method of disposal is at your prowess… Use and Throw, Use and Throw, That’s the way you always go, Use and Throw, Use and Throw, That’s all the love and affection to me you did show… For all the compassion, all the regret, I’m an expendable? Do I know you? Have we ever really MET? It’s just made me even more sad and upset… After trying to make your everyday new, I’m wound up being Use and Throw to you, I’m use and Throw, insipid, inarticulate, A used tissue can’t undo its sealed fate…. But if I were any of these above things, Of which my lonely aching heart sings, A battery could be recharged duly, The smell of socks would get the heavy laundry, A flower would find soil to unwither and bloom, A pencil refilled with lead to avoid its impending doom… All of these things I know I can do, But I also know I can never ever have you, Because all YOU did, was use, then you Threw… After my usefulness I meant absolutely nothing to You… Use and Throw, Use and Throw, As tears and blood into my discarded tissue does flow… I was nothing to you, I have nowhere to go… After all to you I was just.. USE AND THROW….!

T'was the Time when Light hasn't come Thus filled the Air with Old-Smelling Rhum Or Gas-Lamps, or Candles of Wax Do make this Darkened City a mass. The Source of Great Power has fell This Time unknown which we cannot tell The Heat as the Night, how Great it was When Cooling Converters has made its loss. People complain, here and there For Power to return, unable to Dare At this rate in which they have had Enough It's now their Turn to be so Rough. Banners flow in tiles across The Head of whom around is Boss Saying, "Power come! Power come! Hear me now, don't be Dumb!" As the Night comes with Loser Heat The Rebellious Mass was still hard to beat Sources say to drive them out Not by Force, but by Pout. "We've had Enough!" the People said Thus they storm to the Company's Head Defense Forces pull them back But the People threw them in the Stacks. Just then, in Time's time an Electrician Came through. Stating: "All is well's tripe! I've cleared the Electric Hue!" The People heard, but didn't say a Word To realise: "We have dumped ourselves like birds." Forgiveness, they spoke. And Cooler Thoughts Do process Clearing-up the Debris; And brooming-out the Mess. Lights have returned; The Power recharged Peace has settled once again; With the Culprit At-large.

THE BROWNOUT
I can feel it in my bones. I can feel it in my teeth. Emanating from some place buried deep underneath. I can hear it in your words. I can taste it on your lips. Electricity, recharged by your kiss. My body is a conduit. A key tied to a kite string. I'm thinking of every wish I've wasted on pennies never spent. Hopes and dreams thought up then tossed. They're all coming true tonight. I found my way while staying lost.

We wake up to that alarming sound, Pick up the cellphone Scroll, Scroll, Scroll Unread messages, missed calls The darkness and lonesome of waking up, Covered, Isolated, but recharged from the constant stimulus and daily overload of the senses. Eyes feel weighted, Stretching open as if rubber bands hold them shut. The sound of TVs, Music, Cars, Technology Dressing well, presentation is key. The anxiety of fulfilling plans, responding to emails, presenting your body to wherever it needs to be. Enslaved by the concept of time, the necessary effort to find time for you, but the feeling of losing, and the learned mentality that tells you to be lazy is to sit. In this quiet realm, listening to ones own thoughts and wondering: how many of these are a result of influence? Where am I? Where is me? Everyday we wear this armor, ready to battle, but seeking peace, tranquility. When was the last time you noticed the birds chirp? The patterns of wind, as is winds up, and as it winds down. As it quiets down enough to hear a pen drop, and then it leaves you for a moment. The cold as it triggers goosebumps and lifts the hair on your arms. The annoyance of grass, irritating your bare skin as you sit on it, but you choose tolerance. And all of this provokes the realization, of the constant loop you are in. To get here you have to escape. The expectations of each one of your roles, Son or Daughter, Man or Woman, Friend or Foe, to choose you or someone else, Human. The appoinments of life, the need to insistingly value your time, the sin of escaping your daily routine. Days like these A machine constantly in motion To be the free bird that fights for survival, where a meal is never guaranteed. Or to be caged, and fed by the social constructs, and partake of what is given to you. Either way, A loop is a loop.

From Grassy Fields to Azure Blue Albuquerque a special time soulful sojourners came to release aloft what others find easy to scoff oh Thy heavenly breeze from earthen habitation all sounds are found in thee laughter and tears the Sobbing Goes to throbbing depths clouds pewter gray they show your needs and how hard you pray Some are blessedly light others are weighed and bowed there are streams of air but the spirit too has The lift and fall some is shear others are tender they hold all that is dear love hopes and dreams in them You see the atmosphere as if you were sky riding at fiesta time strings of silver red golden black ribbon They represent light hearted feelings the gust of joy that blows across many a yard and home from this Dispositions of those that live there are discerned and carried outward and upward into playful days Bathed in sunlight recharged with all the embodied love that continues through mankind dark shadows Also are known their gloom are forever fixed with heartbroken tomb but just from earth the higher it Rises its burning tears begins to fall as tender rain that mixes with tears and it not to be explained But from this mixture golden memories derive their uncommon essence the loss is then to celebrate Tendrils that drift across the sky when they briefly touch the ground though it be tearful a smile is Left and in it the loved one is blessed honored and assured the swirling wind holds so many promises Of happy tomorrows where the word separation has been expunged it no longer is a part of reality You crossed the night train trestle your voice was the mournful whistle that announced the dear passing Of love that went higher you were given a gift wrapped in pain but within it explained far greater truth Than the limitation of earth’s love alone you are now aboard these sky ships as you rise your burdens Grow Lighter your vision is enabled to see grandeur and great vistas the pulsating earth winks from Homes far below you appear as bubbles on the wind in the moonlight glow in it is you’re refreshing Enjoy the ride

I wonder If she asked about me Or if you told her If your guilty conscience finally got the best of you Shook you until my name bled from your mouth Maybe You never even mentioned me At all Maybe you didn't have to Maybe it was easy Maybe you woke up one morning And decided that what you already had Was much better than what you were going after Maybe you finally understood what I meant When I said I wasn't worth it I never wanted to come between But you welcomed my interference with open arms Promised me oasis in desert future And I caved Because I have always been weak Because I have always had a soft spot for guys with tattoos and turbulence Our plane crashed long before takeoff And somehow I am still awaiting closure Spend time telling myself you still think of me Convince myself I'm still in your head You already did the forgetting You managed to do so with such ease So effortlessly Maybe you erased my number Swallowed my image And then trained your mind to delete Programmed me into your brain as nothing more than homewrecker Remember it was you Who invited me in In the first place Gave me the hammer And told me to start breaking I split myself into two for you Emptied out parts I kept deep inside Poured myself in your hands Painted my skin transparent Confided about the night I was taken without permission You promised To never hurt me Like he did But disappointment is a certain kind of ache It does not go away overnight like you did You should have told me to begin with that we, Were just a game you were playing While your real life recharged I am sorry That I ever held my tongue for you There will be no remorse I can not grieve over something that never was Our existence Ceased before it began So I, Am back to placing caution tape around my body Back to glueing my lips quiet I wonder If you sleep easy at night knowing how you left me Knowing that I am still questioning I know She didn't ask about me She didn't have to.

Can a poet write a poem For the sake writing a poem? I think he will certainly can But it becomes mere fun A poet needs to be emotionally touched His creativity is incredibly recharged A beautiful poem is instantly released And the reader is immeasurably pleased Unless something touches his heart There can be no creation of everlasting art Spontaneous overflow of emotions is poet’s natural part It makes his poems immensely smart A poet can't always write at his best He needs to pass the readers' test If jaded, he needs considerable rest His poem becomes  the seeting sun in the west

A POET'S POEM
Here’s to scrumptious nights. cats and boots and cats and boots We went clubbing last night, to recalibrate ourselves on the dance floor, where magic happens. cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots To focus on sensory experiences, the beat, and share in the fun and tangible sense of freedom. cats and boots and cats and boots Feel the wave, show your energy, be the wave cats and boots and cats and boots be disheveled, swing your hair like a weapon abandon, silly, self-protecting vanities cats and boots and cats and boots flashing lights on dancing figures make it all seem slo-mo and extreme. cats and boots and cats and boots It’s been too long since we’ve done it like this. Work-worn, I’d lost my lucidity and stumbled badly on a quiz. Lisa pushed my books onto the floor, declaring, “Get UP, we’re grabbing some bliss.” cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots failure has a reality, a gravity and pull all the more shocking in relief. I’d started out the evening gloomy and ashamed - a figure of regret - but I’m better now, buoyed and recharged and soon I’ll have a plan - hopefully. cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots There was a guy there, on the dance floor, who looked like a young Leonardo DiCaprio. We made eye contact, nodding and smiling at each other in motion. We gyrated, together, sort of, for a second, in our separate orbits - no conversation I just watched him for a moment or two, sexualizing him like eye candy. Just seeing him was sensual fun and I wondered what he smelled like. He had a gritty, sweaty, idealized beauty, like a dancing ‘David’ that no Michelangelo could ever capture in stiff granite sculpture. The music ended - momentarily - we knew it would start up again and we were there for it - til 1 or 2 am anyway - then it recranked. cats and boots and cats and boots and cats and boots and..

It is incredibly fragile. More like a web of hair winding through the city Than a spider’s web that bounces back. Electric current run through my veins; support me. More moved to soak in the sun than taste the flow of a water-dam or take in the scent of a coal-burner. Knock it down, Down and out with the lights they go black. They cannot see, cannot search. Their voices throw complaints at this power-gone-out, But I laugh. Reading with the light of the still-rising sun I smile behind the safety of my book. I do not need to be recharged, I’ve got the power of the sun to bring me to stand. They’ve got themselves depending on breakable things, Leaning on a dry branch as if it would hold them up as long as they need, Don’t know that a dry thing will snap if you push it too much. How easy it would be to bring down a place like this, All strung together, their failing crutch. Must be in sync. Must be connected. But don’t they know? Connection disconnects when a sacrificial tree topples and their circuit ceases to exist. Their power cannot reach their devices and their shoulders fall. Does anyone have a generator to bring them back to life? And why won’t they regenerate when the lines are cut? Come back to life, Find your power in the sun.

Just call me whatever But more importantly Can I call you Sweetheart, lover, the one Can I look into those eyes call them beautiful Stare at them with warmth Can I put my arms around you Hold you and embrace you Till again I am fully recharged Can I stand next to you Admire you because I look up to you and just smile when our eyes meet Just call me whatever But more importantly Can I call you Sweetheart, lover, the one Can I tell you a silly joke So we can share a smile crack up with tears of joy Can I ask you a question So I can hear your beautiful voice And learn something too Can I pretend to be in trouble So you can come to my rescue Just call me whatever But more importantly Can I call you Sweet heart, lover, the one

Time, oh time is a silly thing, it proves things right and it proves them wrong. Its’ seemingly long years change you and all that can be touched. Time- this illusion we base our lives around, this illusion we obsess over (don’t deny it, we all do). It confines us to a routine, to a norm. The time spent at desks makes us into zombies. The time spent after chokes us with copious amounts of papers and projects. But occasionally it grants us a wondrous thing called wisdom. It bestows upon us insight and growth. My always shrewd teenage self has grown to believe that time… can go **** itself. I want to fall into a slumber that is a day or two long, catch up on rest and miss the trials of everyday life. Of course, once several days pass or several thousand ticks of a clock, I’ll crave another respite. Life. Life is hard. It’s tiring. And somehow there is never enough time to work, work on the work, rework the work, eat, sleep, take a couple deep breathes to keep from jamming a stapler into any eyeballs, be a healthy person, and do all the things that society tells you to do. Maybe a designated sleep day would be nice. If we only need 8 hours of peaceful slumber for every 16 hours of traumatizing wakefulness, then sleeping for 24 hours would give us 48 hours of working. Right? No. But it’s a proportion, so theoretically it should make sense. Which leads me to conclude that 8 hours is not merely enough time to rest. Unless you’re under the age of 6. Or you’re retired. Or in a coma. Or… But no. No, no, no, no, no. We must keep going. Like good little soldiers on and on for 60 years, 70 years, 80 years? I’m sorry but that just does not appeal to me. Why oh why would I want to work my body to unhealthy levels. Why oh why would I want to exhaust my mind to points of breakdowns nearly every day. It’s silly to want to have enough time to eat healthily. And hit the gym 3 or 4 times a week. And sleep until recharged. Yes that’s preposterous. Ridiculous. Time is an illusion that is ruining lives. If we have an illusion destroying us from the inside out, does that make us crazy?

I’ll keep on loving you Long after you start to Look like your mother Though she looks much Too much like her brother. I’ll keep on laughing at The groaner puns you make And eating the cakes That taste like meatloaf From Blavian yak **** Because that is what, To me, true love is. It doesn’t take a wiz kid To see what nature did And I am sure I will be A cartoon version of me When I get to that stage Where age has altered us To having rear-ends like a bus And skin like the spin cycle Before the dryer gets there. We’ll have hair like lint To match the laundry bent Of the last four lines. And I know I won’t mind Because it’s you I adore And that is what love is for To help us ignore the stuff Like belly button fluff And farting unashamedly Even though we are blamedly Guilty as recharged, stinking. I am guilty of thinking Things will continue to get worse Until the nurse considers ****** When nobody heard her.

DEATHLESS LOVE
So here I go again If you walk A mile in my shoes You may feel it as an adventure If you walk next 10 miles You may feel something new And if you walk for a whole week About 30 miles or more You will know The enjoyable way to take steps And If you walk for a whole month You will know the core of life All that one needs I walk most often To get myself recharged Just what I need Right at that moment That's me That's my shoes And still An extra mile ahead

The Way
After working hard for hours and hours Days and days Weeks and weeks And months and months One would have thought That I deserved a break Of course, a short one But a break nevertheless However, I was in for a rude shock Instead of being given a break I was assigned to a new project And a huge one at that Involving oodles of intense research Followed by a truckload of calls In order to extract critical information From a bunch of highly reticent people And finally Drawing an extremely complicated chart Yes, I'd done all this before But that was nearly a year ago And going through the same process, all over again Was always going to be a herculean task But hey, I was not going to give up that easily That too right at the beginning of the project So, I sat to work in right earnest However, after a few hours of hard research My head was spinning And my eyes were burning Thus, it was a relief to leave the office However, there was still the small matter Of commuting back to my home By the dreaded Mumbai locals I was squeezed so thoroughly That, by the time I finally managed to reach home All I wanted, was to crash on my bed And sleep; for a long, long time But hey, I decided to write this poem instead In order to record my thoughts And more importantly, provide an outlet For all those bottled up feelings So that, by the time the next day arrived I would wake up with my batteries recharged overnight Ready to tackle the monumental task in front of me After all, as the oft-repeated cliche goes It is better to try and fail Than not try at all

I feel like a phone that has been used all day, Until it's breaking Point like it has reached its lowest battery percentage, until its dead I feel emotionally drained. I give i,-I give, and I give until I've given my everything. Until the end I feel like no one cares about giving me a single thing, I feel used and ignored and when lm Finally recharged Im being picked up again...

Emotionally drained
[Verse 1] How could I be so blind, so as not to see The flaws that were in you, that I knew there would be When the spark finally ignited, I thought I had found Someone I just loved always being around You went away for weeks, and I thought I would die To stalk you on facebook, not enough to suffice I don’t know when this happened, or why I fell so hard But being with you, and my soul felt recharged [Chorus] When was the last time I cried over a guy Should have known he was a liar, just was in disguise I don’t know what’s happening or what it all means At first we were friends, but you meant more to me When was the last time I felt as I do now? Why would I let my guard down? I don’t know how All men are the same, never saying what’s true But I never once thought that they were like you [Verse 2] I thought you were different from all other men I finally found connection, so much more than a friend I should have been ready to come crashing down It’s just that I loved you, loved you being around Those cold bitter weeks, I longed for your voice Guess I couldn’t have made a more horrible choice The years that were behind us, should have enough To know you would break me, if heat started up [Verse 3] Why would I ever have fallen so hard? Maybe it’s now that I realize I’m scarred I thought I was cool, comfortable, calm Turns out I couldn’t have had it more wrong I’ll never escape my time twisted mind But no one will help me find time to unwind You will not listen, nor will you seem to care I’ll feel like my rock has turned into air

I really hate those school Cliche groups The jocks, the skaters the nerds How did this childish survival ways bleed into our societies heart I hate the way it sticks into adulthood How sad as adults we still have this need to be liked and wanted by peers So much So desperate are we That we **** Pick Poke Sneer Bully Seclud Judg Hateful hateful world I want to see strong wild men in the wind standing tall speaking there minds and saving the abused stood next to them strong Amazonian woman equal and proud Intellectual characters being right, debating discussing , RANTING on their soap box next to the argumentative and rebellious types Sticking it to the man with all their might I want to see the witty and the ****** speak up and say there peace Socking reality and bluntness to you Bowling over your cliche And next to them ... The advocate of the underdog standing  strong I want you to hear our voices our views our arguments I want you to stop bending and straighten your spine against the wind of oppression To enlighten your fire your flame Soul recharged Eyes open to the realities and ignorance To truly take into your conscious brain The man The rule The emperor structure of unfairness of life Stand against this gale with all your differences Unique diversities Proud to be that spark that can only shine like you do I just want you to be the best you (C) Ashley Kane

Your Spark
Now it is autumn of my hopes. I had satisfied his lust. I had recharged his mobile. I had taken care of his injuries On the skin and in the mind. I had dodged my parents too. I had been treacherous to their trust. Today I asked him About the possibility and sureness. He smiled at my query. He turned his back And said in a coarse tone. Are you fool? Don't repeat this mistake. You must be wise. Moral blunders never get healed.

I wake up to the glow of sun shining through curtains and blinds I stretch my body stretch my mind I'm preparing for the day ahead waiting for it all to start as I lay in bed I find my muscles sore the good kind of sore you get when you're not bored when your mind is stimulated and your heart has been elated and your back hurts from rowing your legs from running, you arms from throwing the restlessness of spirit that wakes within me in the glow mind, body, spirit; I'm recharged, ready to go
