The hatchet never buries: A poem 

You, who have despoiled my paradise, 

cursed my locks like lice 

I am sleepless by your treachery 

It obsesses my brains like debauchery 

I walk the streets precariously, lest rage 

break my spirit, rip my veins 

In exile, I find hope’s refuge 

The thirsty foliage is my concierge 

Yet, I make grace my wage 

and patience I make my plumage 

Never a word to the unsuspecting world 

My flags are invisible and unfurled 

You attempt to knock at my door, 

asking for peace, leave unsettled the score 

To you I say forgiveness is for the fairies, 

that the hatchet never buries

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.
