Masterless Poems | Examples


Lady

Once adored by beholder,
   Soiled doves, fall in no longer.

From garden to minefield,
   Avoidance is justified;
Inamoured, favourably yield,
   Innocence gone vilified.

Once lured by sweetness,
   Penetrated, unable to flee;
Trapped inside glowness,
   Choked, unable to glee.

Memories gone masterless,
   History, halted unspree;
Living dead and throneless,
   To be, or not to be.

Ronin
Forty-seven men,
hereditary nobles,
military samurais,
serving their master,
who was betrayed and killed by
another lord, ronin's, they
turned masterless, schemed
samurai, three years 
spun thieves, mercenaries, and
madmen, delight all
the challenges that are faced,
the adrenaline that is
peaked, did kill their lord
master betrayer and their
met deed, all did seppuku,
a mass suicide, 
belief be dead, chose
myth, honor, than masterless.

***A ronin (drifter or wanderer) was a samurai without a lord or master during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. A samurai became masterless upon the death of his master or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.

When I Am No More

An empty space in the dining table 
A vacant space in the car for four
My room vacant without an owner
My pets masterless
But still my dreams and a handful of aspirations
remains trapped in the gap
between the living and the eternal
If only i was lent a patient ear
If they hadn't forced me to push further in the world of competition
Maybe i would have been spared
