Heavy is the crown
That sits upon my tooth.
Temporary it may be,
But my tooth has a decree:
"Verily, this land will be cleansed!
Brushed with mint scented clouds,
Washed in blue floods of rain,
And ropes dragged through the streets!"
I acquiesce to his demands,
As I prefer a single monarch
With only a single crown.

Inspiration leaves
As quick as it arrives
So I try to grab a hold
And hope it survives
I hope it's enough
For when life deprives
'Cause my energy's low
And I'm out of revives
As my bad luck schemes
And my writer's block connives
I'll just use what I've got
And continue to strive
– SR Romney 2025
Time flies by so fast
Eye-blink by eye-blink
I feel the days, the years, the months go by
But it also feels as if time drags on
Second by second
Moments never end
Memories get jumbled
Moment by moment
Until I can't tell my dreams from my past
But they also are defined in crystal
Facet by facet
Reflecting my life
Life is a contrast
Color by color
A whirling storm of endless potential
Until, as it must, it finally calms
Raindrop by raindrop
Meeting the same end
– SR Romney 2025
Taking a deep breath
A long awaited respite
Something sorely missed
A simple walk with a friend
Just like the many before
– SR Romney 2025
Almost forgot
Lucky I caught
Myself in time
Before I sleep
I pen some words
Not too many
To hit my goal
And end my day
– SR Romney
Whisked away
Like morning egg yolks
Bright and full
Unique parts of me
Combine; a good day
– SR Romney 2025
Abundance of resources,
Food, wealth, money overwhelming.
A bounty of vast riches
Within your grasp, always in reach.
Lacking goals, or a drive for more
To have your wants frees your needs.
– SR Romney
The magician purrs on my chest
And tells me to close my eyes.
With a flick of her tail
Poof!
She made hours vanish in seconds.
– SR Romney 2025
Even when wide awake
I am still dreaming
My thoughts floating
Drift lazily
Colors
Peace
– SR Romney 2025
With reckless abandon,
I threw away my most important things
Without a thought.
Now, with a clearer head,
I can no longer function as I need;
I'm lesser now.
But, since time flows onward,
I cannot return to a greener past;
They can't come back.
I shoulder my failure.
I'll endure, and hopefully with hard work,
I will get through.
