Welcome to the Town of Dying Dreams
By: Fee
By the frothy shores of the Sea of Hopelessness
Where the old Forlorn River winds it’s way
Live the fairy tale characters and comic book heroes
In a town called Dying Dreams they all come to stay
No, you won’t see too many happy smiling faces
No artificial love is sold at the five & dime
But you can buy used teardrops sold as bottled water
And of course holding hands is such a major crime
It’s a place where all us broken hearted losers
Go to look for solace maybe from a glowing screen
Or sit to drink the town’s barroom poison potion
Trying to drown out all the hurt we’ve ever seen
The town’s upside down clock races down to midnight
Someone mumbles Cinderella you’re a such a slut
The Leering Joker tries to feel up a drunken Batgirl
While John Wayne drags on a glowing marijuana butt
Yea in this little dingy little town of Dying Dreams
Resides my broken heart and all too shattered mind
Where I live on whiskey mixed with watered tears
Since you left and left my love behind…
Brought to the forefront with mastery.

Love ya face Cuz XOXOXO, Rose
gazing upon the land of a far
I seen a statuesque woman riding
or perhaps she was driving a car
none the less I had seen her
and the colors of her hemesphere
a chromatic change was comin to town
and it was her vision oh so very clear
she was the rider without a frown
she held her faith of hope as a badge
and courage was her flag of might
she came to give glory abound
so that we could soon see the light

Perhaps I have a dark sense of humor, but I really enjoyed this poem. I love the creativity of the clock and the invented downfall of beloved heroes. LOL. Love and Hugs,
