Ashtray king: A poem 

Infatuation was never a fantasy for the duty-betrothed 

With the handicraft and the artwork, arms always loaded 

Walking with a blue heart where the market of souls 

get purchased for little dreams to connivance’s goals 

Life is a bridge with stores of myopia and cataract vision 

The adage of spirit crosses it with the march of a mission 

Life’s bedsores are for those that wallow in the mundane 

To trick the devil’s advocate, never cry over the pain 

I am an ashtray king; I live after burning to ashes  

In a perennial sunlight, my soul always washes 

My road to nowhere is somewhere between the stars 

I don’t need a bus ride there, nor any fancy cars 

Snowballs roll into an avalanche, that’s the soul falling 

In the woods is an ant that does enough for winter’s calling 

There’s lichen on the garden hedge, rust on the bolts 

But home is picture perfect where obese appetite doesn’t hold 

I am an ashtray king; I live after burning to ashes 

In a perennial sunlight, my soul always washes 

My road to nowhere is somewhere between the stars 

I don’t need a bus ride there, nor any fancy cars

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
