Little One: A Tribute

Posted in Life, Poetry with tags , , , , on May 24, 2013 by Ronin

A year ago today we suffered a miscarriage, this is a third poem about Little One, a tribute and closure.

Little One it doesn’t seem so long ago
That you let us know you we’re going to show
A month later and you were lost
If I could’ve saved you, I would no matter the cost

A year has passed, you’d be 3 months I wager
I thought of you often, filled with grief and anger
Spilling fury and tears onto paper
The five stages of grief were to my emotions like a scraper

I’ve broken down and risen again
A slight echo of pain I’ll always carry within
It’s time to move on, I hope you understand
Living in the past, I no longer can’t

We will hold up your memory
Tell the good story
Our love will never die
You were our first, in my eye

Release The Demons

Posted in Life, Poetry with tags , , , , , , , on April 29, 2013 by Ronin

Walking through life
A life of strife
Taking it in
Every little sin

Holding them inside
Where the demons reside
More than I knew
I’ve released in a spew

I’ve taken the darkness
And face my reality’s starkness
To battle I go
The outcome I do not l know

I’ll kill them as they attack
There is no going back
The chains I’ll release
And will do as I please

Better than before
More than Ronin by four score
I have an ideal
And now I’ll make it real

Where?

Where were you when she was at her lowest
Where were you when she needed you
Why do you expect her when you’re at your lowest
Why do you call when you need something

You claim you’re close as sisters
You claim that she’s your best friend
More like family when you want to move
More like a friend when it benefits

I remember a long night in the Emergency Room
Fear of the unknown, the what if
Where were you then
At home talking to a friend

Days later back at the ER
To my surprise you were there
Not for your sister, your closest friend
But for another friend

When she wanted to talk about her pain
Your answer was “Get over it, move on.”
When she went to a baby shower to support a friend
Where she broke down, yet remained

Where were you when she was at her lowest
Where were you when she needed you
Now you’re in pain
Insides are twisting

You called her, she came
But you’ll always stay the same
In past you were there
But that was then, this is now

Where were you when she was at her lowest
Where were you when she needed you
Why do you expect her when you’re at your lowest
Why do you call when you need something

You don’t realize how lucky you are she isn’t me
The kindest soul I know
I’m done with you for what you’ve done
Hurting me is one thing, hurting her is a deadly sin

Where will I be if you’re at your lowest
Where will I be when you need help
I will be where you were when she was at her lowest
I will be where you were when she needed help

Not there

True Colors

Posted in Inner Strength, Life, Philosophy, Poetry with tags , , , , on March 20, 2013 by Ronin

A betrayer of a sacred trust
A vow made, you ground to dust
“Forsaking all others”
You quickly looked afterwards

Yes, your wife is a bitch
And your relationship is falling to bits
However, until she releases you from your vow
Neither one of you can honestly prowl

A one time transgression
Quickly became a procession
I watched you two’s actions so cruel
My anger it did fuel

My code and I are bound by integrity
And when I break it I don’t even spare me
My friends are far and few
One less now that your bill is due

I see how willing you were to break a vow to one you truly loved
So much easier to betray others like the wringing the neck of a dove
When karma comes your way
Don’t look for me to help your debt you must pay

Only friends and good people in a bad spot
Get any of the time that I’ve got
You are neither
So to me, die, and float into the ether.
