O Sita, I can never have you; I can never have anything at all: A poem 

How can I entertain the love of so many 

when I have abandoned precious her for no penny 

Did I not move every mountain between us 

to regain her, against all the conspiring vicious 

O Mother, did I not live on but the honey of the forest 

and wander aimlessly in the everglades 

because I swore by my promise 

to father, and put my throne in the shade 

How has Ravan so many undeserved triumphant lives  

and mine must be treacherised by knives? 

Who carves the lines of my palm 

and who destroys the universe’s calm? 

Am I faulted for being brave? 

Must God always be made slave? 

Must treachery always be made winner? 

And must sacrifice always be called sinner? 

Must not such sublimation and vulneration be acknowledged? 

Do they know how resoluteness is compelled to be hedged? 

I feel all my flesh torn from my self 

When I lose anyone I love, what else? 

So, I must relinquish each and all 

For I can’t have Paradise in poison; so, let oblivion be its scrawl

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.
