The Poems of the Undead

http://allpoetry.com/poem/6512271


There's a zombie here.
There's a zombie there.
Oh my God there's zombies everywhere!

When did this happen?
Why didnt I see when
Zombies took off
With everything I need?

Everywhere I go,
Everywhere i see,
A zombie has been
made to massacre me!

Everyones gone,
There's nowhere to go,
I don't know what to do
with all these damn zombies chasing me around!

I take relief in a church
only to run screaming away from the priest
And frightened beyond belief.

The biting and scratching,
The running and chasing,
Its wearin me down.

I dont think I'll make it.

I see dawn breaking overhead
A distance valley of hills,
And after all these kills
I'm finally ready to be dead.

Wincing from the pain
I decide a willow tree is where I shld be laid,
And once I crawled over to
A zombie came and bit me through.

Last thing seen through these glazing eyes
Was a beautiful easteren sky......

Then my eyes open up to walls painted cream
And my mom shaking me
Repeating it's just a dream.

It was just a dream?

Undead


damp mouldy earth begins to crumble
hands with rotting flesh begin to fumble

clawing their way from a cold dark tomb
hungry for human flesh they crave to consume

foul stench of decay permeating the air
staggering corpses lurching everywhere

under a shroud of fog and pale moonlight
relentlessly stalking their victims by night

running and screaming there is no escape
as the new undead begin to awake

by sundial

the end of the world as we know it


the day after the zombie apocalypse was grim.

there were bodies lying in the streets -
many belonging to those who chose killing themselves
over infecting loved ones.

everywhere there was blood.
my clothing had been stained dark red

and my hair was caked in bodily fluid.


and all I could hear were the screams and cries
of people whose loved ones had been lost
to the plague that had ravaged the country.


how is society supposed to continue after this?

Zombie land by: rattlehead



Cursed land, decimated by time
Human life has been picked clean
Swamp filled with bodies
Re-animate to devourer
Eat alive all who step foot in this land
There is no hope for survival
They have mindless hunger in their eyes
Rotten fingers grip at your skin
Black teeth feast on your flesh
Releasing you of your life
Pulled into a pit of zombies
Feeding ground of the damned
Your body they consume
Flesh rips and bones snap
Ripped apart limb from limb
The last sight of your life
Is the face of death
Rotten and covered in maggots
This gore is your doom
Staying here forever
In this cursed zombie land

Unnnnngh by: auburn blessing



Stumbling along,
With forgotten flesh falling from slumped shoulders,
The undead rule the day and the night,
Never sleeping,
Never stopping.

Blank eyes,
And drooling lips,
They hunger for muscle and humanity,
Hoping to satisfy,
An undead lust for death.

They come in all forms,
Of your friends and your beloved,
Small and large,
They blunder in packs,
Seemingly harmless,
But their teeth will not break on your bones.

You can run,
You can fight,
But you can't escape
A hungry society of brainless people,
Trying their best to tear you apart.

Zombie attack by wind echos



Fighting off zombies in the dark of night
Guns blazing and bodies dropping
Wondering if we'll make it out alive
Running for our lives, never looking back

Pull out that grenade, throw it behind you
Listen for the sound of the explosion
Scent of burnt bodies, and gun powder

hiding in a building, behind barred doors
Won't slow the living dead for long
Frantic screams of those left behind
Won't be long before there one of them

Shattered glass, time to move, they found away
into the room. Reloading, firing, brains flying
Making our last stand, nowhere left to run, shit.

Taking out the last of the ammo, completely screwed
thousands of them after your living flesh, and only
a handful of survivors, what is going to be done.

As the sun rises, you come out alive, what a miracle.
only a few survived, uninfected, time to leave this
wasteland, which once prospered. Moving on, hoping
more survived, to restart life, leaving this behind.

Evil residents By: Damural




Silent is the path I walk
until I come across
the ones which walk without a soul
where everything is lost
The dead that walk, can hide as well

And that, is when you'll need

a conscious mind, and ammunition

to stop the threat that feeds

When you've cleaned up all the scars

and still, all hope is gone

just look upon the STARS

to keep you safe till dawn

But still no one is safe

as the virus quickly spreads

again, you are too late

Your companions, reborn, dead

And now I am alone once more

I quickly close the drapes

This is the city's deathbed

And my last chance, my last escape...



http://allpoetry.com/poem/4814061



the awaking by moonlitanime



' one is dead, but not forgotten.
A name lived on when the body is rotten'

This is the rhyme that has been whirling
in my head. Night after night.
As I toss and turn in my bed.

As I toss my head
I feel the movement of
the undead opera
under my feet

As the black harvest moon arises
the tossing and turning get worse.

I sense the hot breath on the back of my neck
Faster, faster they run

I feel blood dripping in the corner of my mouth

Please whoever you are
unlift these eyelids

I do not want to feel the
blood any more

I do not want to feel your wrath
any longer...

undead opera by: rubix


Gun powder's life affirming properties are evident
My mind races with my feet down steel pattern floors
In the halls of some once grand corporate office
The screams in the distant loiter like a fog
Desolate death derives deep in this barren building
Ravenous flesh pariahs chase with undying speed
Their stamina laughs at my exhaustion
Their deep murmuring screams perforate my soul
Firing blindly to my back
I hear blood spatter
I hear bodies fall
My healthy fear replaced by foolish courage
My body swivels facing rotting mindless hyenas
Shells bang on polished floors emptying copious fodder
Fighting and screaming one latches on my arm
Razor teeth sink like Titanic
The beasts head deflates as its brain hits the wall
I manage to enter a small room barring the door
They bang relentlessly
As I fall to a seat
Numb and hopeless
The Infection flows a river of pain into my heart
Tingling stings menace my mind
An Italian made wallet summons as I stare at my wife
Tears root their way down a broken smile
The gun muzzle fits itself between perfect teeth
Trigger pulls, the hammer hits........
*CLICK*

Zombie's poem by benneh



Zombie’s Poem


We bravely saw the end begin,
The status quo apocalypse -
Where funeral pyres ran till dawn
On faulty urban paradise,
And dying memoirs of our lives
Gave rise to desperation.

Through desolate moralities
Strewn carelessly around,
As heaven fell with thunder-cracks,
And deadened skies took back the dusk
We clasped our hands and braced ourselves
To sail the acid sea of sloth
That spread through modern life

And all their hordes that staggered there
Were nothing but a pill-popped pest,
A quivering needle held too tight
Then quickly thrown away.

With our backs pressed to fend them off,
The nightshade buzz was laced with fear.
Squeezing savage at our sides,
We too defiant glared,
But without face the mob once surged
And whisked you out of reach.

I saw you, screaming as you died
They tore away the skin you wore,
An empty bed of former truths
That once cut through the vicious net
That now bit into your soft flesh

But even once I ran away,
Amorphous crowd in tow
I glanced back one last time and caught
A lingering trace of sky-burned eyes
That rushed me back from mind-fucked dust
The hint of blissful prodigy
Hidden a dripping razor’s edge
From the loathing army’s line
Capitalized, a guise from lower case
The wandering Zombie in the night.

Ode to The Hunger (Rant of the Living Dead)
by Terry L Vinson

From 'Prey' to 'Predator', all in the matter of a single bite...or perhaps...several dozen bites:

My dear wife is long dead,
Our precious offspring as well,
The ravenous dead have feasted upon their very souls.
The majority of the population has suffered the same fate, I fear,
They all, too… paid the highest of tolls...


I run and I hide to no avail,
They shadow my every move.
Laying in wait, they follow my scent,
There is no rest, no sleep that would serve to sooth...


A desolate, deserted gas station becomes my home,
Temporary haven it may be.
Though supplies are sparse and stark fear fills my pores,
For a brief time I no longer roam...


Despite the station's isolated location, my paranoia gnaws,
I barricade all windows and doors,
A prisoner of blind, stark fear I confess,
All to avoid the clutching hands and snapping, ravenous jaws...


My respite ends rudely as I awaken with a start through waves of ringing thunder,
Every fiber in my being screeching from sharp waves of indescribable pain.
The many faces mercifully blur and contort as teeth bore in and greedy fingers tear me asunder...


As probing hands submerge through flesh into the warm, pulsating entrails within, I release a final, shrieking scream,
They tug and pull and rip and tear until something vital between gives way.
I mercifully drift into the darkness beyond, praying this be but
the most horrific of dreams...


Senses…are dulled….all...sensation is…lost…
My greatest fear is…realized…
Peering into a…cracked mirror…nearby…
Displays…the personal cost...


A disembodied head….am I….the rest…greedily…consumed…
No arms…no legs…torso-less….
No…life...to...readily…resume…


The hunger...builds…though powerless am I…to…
search out….that which serves to...quench…
This damnable hunger…relentless…it refuses to abate…
As something wonders nearby….which overwhelms my own rotted stench….


Lolling about…no way to feed….I wear a shroud of darkness….
Before footsteps alert me… to greet….


The flesh is…raw…the pulse of life…
Ah yes, come to me…my dear… fresh… meat….


END???

The Siege
by: AceOspades

A week ago, they came to feed,
Driven by a primal need,
To feast upon a human's skin,
And get a bite of soul within.

I'm sitting in a shattered place,
As we all attempt to face,
A future running from the past,
Wondering if it can last.

Days ago, my parents died.
Bitten, when they got inside.
I jumped through a pane of glass,
And made a run across the grass.

I found my way to this old lot,
An easily defended spot.
Its back against a mountain wall,
There is a single entrance hall.

A man called Boris then appeared.
With a thick and greying beard.
He taught me how to cross the yard,
Filled with traps, to help us guard.

In the life he had before,
Boris ran a surplus store.
He had a demolition kit,
Teeming with illegal shit.

Seven people on this floor,
Up the stairs, a handful more.
The mercenaries slept upstairs,
Focused on their own affairs.

All the others sleeping well,
Subconsciously preempting hell.
How cruel a morning dawn can be,
Smashing dreams to thought debris.

I took my pen and pad to bed,
and wrote the questions in my head.
When tomorrow you could die,
It's strange to get as far as "why".

How long can we hold this land?
What have these survivors planned?
To fight, and run, and still persist,
Existing here just to exist?

And as I let that question play,
My pen rolled somewhere far away.
Bouncing off my skinny knee,
In a place too dark to see.

I awoke to panicked shouts,
From one of the upstairs scouts.
"Arm yourselves and get your gear!
An army of them's coming here!"

I peeked through a wooden crack,
A legion, ready for attack.
All the humans loaded clips,
Strapping extras to their hips.

Silhouetted by the dawn,
Heading for the grassy lawn,
Uncountable, and very dense
The undead army was immense

The people scrambled to prepare,
They forgot that I was there.
Uninformed, and unequipped.
The first of the traps were tripped.

A claymore mine out in the street,
Exploded with tremendous heat.
Bigger than they all had thought,
It blew the gate off of the lot.

A chunk of undead force was gone,
Still the army shambled on.
Two hundred at the very least,
Eager for their human feast.

And with our back against the wall,
We would have to fight them all.
And as they start across the land,
Here is where we make a stand.

Zombie
by: Marea E. Johnson

My mouth, it moves,
and the words come out
But I'm the walking dead
who's stumbling about.

My ears, they hear,
and the words come in
But I'm the walking dead
who's full of sin.

My eyes, they see,
the people around
But I'm the walking dead,
above the ground.

My arms, they move,
to and fro
But I'm the walking dead
with nowhere to go.

My legs, they walk me
here and there
But I'm the walking dead
and nobody cares.

My heart, it beats,
but it goes unheard
I'm the walking dead,
saying not a word.

My soul is bleeding,
but none can see
For I'm the walking dead
and no more is me.

The Living Dead
By: Xxbaby dollxX



The hunger is hard to satisfy,
You kiss my lips and I taste your pain.
I can't live,
I can't die,
Why did u do this to me?

The hunger is stronger,
I'm starving and your harder to resist.
You're bleeding on the floor,
I'm afraid I cant take it anymore.

I have to get away,
Before I do something I'm afraid of doing.
I dont want to hurt you,
But it hurts so bad.

The only way I can resist,
A cut here,
A slice there.
I don't know what is going on,
But I can't stand the hurting I feel inside.

You have to let me go,
You have to let me die.
I can't stand to think about what will happen if you don't.
Just know I love you.
I don't want you to go.

It hurts as you back away,
I know you love me too,
You are just doing what you know you have to do.
They are hurting me,
Chaining me up.

You walk in,
The horrors we've seen.
I cringe at you seeing me like this.
I know it hurts you,
What they are planning to do.

You took your life to be with me,
We were trying to escape,
They just popped up unexpected.
You are now infected,
and its my fault.

It hurts,
But We shared our last few seconds together.
As the building bursts into flames,
We kiss our last time,
Hold eachother for the last time,
Say "I love you" For the last time.

We are the living dead

AnthologyPlan

Zombies.

I have chosen zombies as the theme of my anthology. To be honest the idea of rotting disfigured corpses returning from the dead, to eat living human brains is great. Zombies are truly creatures of necessity with only one driving thirst; gather and consume living human brains. When there are zombies there are also small groups of non-zombie "survivors" that are typically running away from said zombies. Do I believe in zombies? not really but, zombies are metaphors for uncontrollable chaos that we are all always running from.

Zombie Unicorn Attack

The walls closed in to my surprise.
I cried, tears in my hazel eyes.
The door blew open as my assassins came in covered in blood.
Their hooves were filled with mud.
"What the?!" I screamed.
"We're zombie unicorns!" they shrieked.
It was true!
Their decaying skin was blue.
They moaned as they came closer to me.
I looked around for an exit, I could not be free.
I kicked as they were about to eat my brain.
They jumped on me, the weight was too much of a strain.
Looks of hunger were in their eyes.
I know what they were thinking, "Brains. Tastier than any pies!"
As they kicked, my blood spurted all around.
Then my head fell with a thud onto the ground.
As my spirit descended, I saw them eat the contents of my head.
"YOU MORONS!" I yelled. I killed them all, and that's why the unicorns are said to be dead.

Trapped Like Rats

Zombie outbreak
Quarantine, locked in a room
“It’s safe here”
“This is for your own protection”
Minutes pass you here screaming
Then you hear the moans
They are coming
People huddle to the back
One way in, one way out
Trapped like rats
A horde is at the door
They pound and pound
People scream at the thought of them breaking in
Chains the only thing holding them back
But it won’t hold for long
A snap signals that death is here
Screaming in terror, no way out
“Protect the children”
It’s no use
No one will survive
It will be a massacre
No where to run
Trapped like rats
poem by: Rattlehead

http://www.bigfeature.org/zombie-apocalypse-poem.html

Zombie Apocalypse

They stumble run their rotten teeth
They are the terrors from beneath

Jagged claws, pale eyes
Ignore the Infected’s pleading cries

Finish them off is what to do
because later they will come after you

There is no hope they feel no pain
The shoot them now destroy their brain

When you become one, and it is when
you fall pray inside the lions den

Then do make sure,
Find the cure
A bullet to the head for sure

We are condemned to the same fate
to fall to the zombies ravenous hate

And through the infected’s hateful grin
They will tear you limb from limb

They delve like children in the cookie jar
Eating you alive like the free snack bar

You try to scream your muffle cries
as the infected hordes claw out your eyes

Eyes once a treasured gem
Now you have no use for them

Trapped inside our death cage
Like gladiators against the lions rage

Waiting for death to solemly claim
the soul it owns it has no name

The host is now the zombies prey
Do not feel grief or dismay

For you have not long, they will come
Your eyes white skin numb

The pain they bring you must endure
for this Zombie plague there is no cure

Your no longer a survivor, your one of the dead
You lust flesh, your out of your head

Your last sight will be death
Draining your soul your last breath

It’s smoky hand reaches inside
Departing out just like the tide

It takes your memories straight from your head
That marks the moment that you are dead

No time to dig a grave, no fear
Your zombie calling’s finally here

Now your a zombie you have no worth
Time to reak havoc on the survivors of earth

poem by: Caleb Law

Aftermath

Thought, I will rule the world one day
Thought, I will rule her heart too
Thought, let me take the test
I felt it would be easy to get through

Now that the Dooms day has passed
And I see the remains all around
It feels so good to survive the death spree
But who is he lying in the pool of blood
Why does he look like me?
No! It can’t be…. it can’t be….. me! ! .

Sought all the strength from my bones
Sought her charitable support too
Sought every help I could
I was a fool to think I would get it too.

Now even though nothing remains
My ego tries to fool around
It says I survived the misery
But who is he lying in the pool of blood
Why does he look like me?
No! It can’t be…. it can’t be….. me! ! .

Cannibal Love Poem 1

I grow so sad when thinking on
the rate as which one heals;
specifically, you would be gone
in six or seven meals.
Your fingers – lovely, never rough –
would hardly fill one up;
your precious heart holds not enough
to scantly fill a cup.
And worst of all, I hardly might
get more than one prize cut
before the blade too deeply bites
into some vital gut.
And then, my love, you would be through;
and I cut to the bone;
the lovely meal I’d made of you
I’d have to eat alone.
If only death could be delayed,
my most delicious love,
you might look on as I filleted
you and all cuts thereof.
A ghoul in life, I have been called,
and so would be in death;
let us then, love, be both enthralled
as zombies. What loss breath?
Our love is worth more than such things
as breath and life and laughter;
I long to live unlife with you,
and eat you ever after.
Poem by: Sean Miner


A Stroll Down Zombie Lane

Confusion and Trapped:

    When the attack/plague first takes place, and zombies begins roaming the streets looking for fresh juicy brains. In the beginning, confusion would play a major role in separating people from loved ones, forcing people to leave places and friends behind suddenly. Some very paranoid people might kill the un-infected out of confusion. Being confused and scared would lead many of us to make less than ideal decisions about hide-outs, and places to “hold up”. In a lot of case people will become trapped, trapped alone in some office building. In rare and unfortunate case people will be trapped with the undead in close quarters, for those that manage to survive in and around the the reanimated corpse... god speed.

    “Zombie outbreak
    Quarantine, locked in a room
    It’s safe here
    This is for your own protection
    Minutes pass you here screaming
    Then you hear the moans
    They are coming
    People huddle to the back
    One way in, one way out
    Trapped like rats” (Trapped like rats, line 1)
   
    This passage really stresses the horrors of being trapped alone, and having to listen to everyone you were just with and around die.

Over whelming fear and loss of hope:

    After the initial shock and confusion of a zombie attack begins to settle down an over whelming fear replaces confusion. Once your mind can finally get wrapped around deceased and dismembered friends and relatives returning from the dead with a primal hunger for brains. The reality of whats just happen sets in and drives you mad, imagine being the only “living” human left on your block. Imagine running for your life and being chased by your own children covered in blood and foaming at the mouth. Being the only breathing organism, surrounded by the undead hope seems a distant and unreal concept.

    “there were bodies lying in the streets -
    many belonging to those who chose killing themselves
    over infecting loved ones.” (The End of the World as we Know It, line 2)

    Its hard to imagine how hopeless it must feel to have all your loved ones turned to undead mindless homicidal maniacs. The above passage paints a picture of very hopeless people turning to dark and desperate solutions. Maybe all the confusion and all the feelings of being trapped seemed like better times in these dark days.
   “Cursed land, decimated by time
    Human life has been picked clean
    Swamp filled with bodies
    Re-animate to devourer
    Eat alive all who step foot in this land
    There is no hope for survival
    They have mindless hunger in their eyes” (Zombie land, line 1)
Fighting Back:

    Once all the confusion and disarray is over, once you have escaped your sub par hide-out and moved on to better shelter. You begin to realize whats happened and the adrenaline from all the shear panic and fear begins filtering out of your blood stream. An uncontrollable loss of hope is closely fallowed by anger, and the need for revenge. After the dust settles it is time to make a stand to quit running and start slaughtering the undead hordes. Many of us will attempt to make barricades that will do no more than to slow the attackers down. None of us will find or have enough ammunition but that's why we all need machetes and chain saws. Try to make a plan try not to back yourself into a corner.

    “Fighting off zombies in the dark of night
    Guns blazing and bodies dropping
    Wondering if we'll make it out alive
    Running for our lives, never looking back” (Zombie attack, line 1)










Becoming a Zombie:

    Up to this point the poems have explored some of the feelings assocated with being attacked by zombies and trying to survive a zombie attack. We now have a better idea of what it feels like to have everything changed instantly and drastically and for the worse. Maybe the most terrifying FACT about zombies, is that no matter how many times you escape with your life, one day or dark night you will become one of the monsters that you have been running from.
  “They tug and pull and rip and tear until something vital between gives way.
    I mercifully drift into the darkness beyond, praying this be but
    the most horrific of dreams...” (Ode to Hunger, line 22)

    This passage really paints a vivid picture of how horrible and painful it must be to be consumed by a pack of hungry zombies. Which is exactly how it feels to have all the things your running from catch up with you. At this point in real life people fix things, drug addicts get help the underdogs learn about the goat trails behind the Hot Gates from a hunchback. This is where my favorite part begins, corpses rising from the dead with a burning lust for human brains.
“Eyes once a treasured gem     Now you have no use for them
    Trapped inside our death cage
    Like gladiators against the lions rage
    Waiting for death to solemnly claim
    the soul it owns it has no name” (Zombie Apocalypse, line 20)
Wondering the endless mazes of broken down cars and S.U.V.'s in search of living brains, is quite possibly the worst way to spend the after life.

Friday, July 30, 2010

I find more and more that the poetry I am reading is in the first person. First person puts us in the the victims point of view. The victims are scared out of their wits and tired from running and hiding. Once the victims are caught and dismember and killed, they are reborn as the monsters they ran from.

The Siege
by: AceOspades

A week ago, they came to feed,
Driven by a primal need,
To feast upon a human's skin,
And get a bite of soul within.

I'm sitting in a shattered place,
As we all attempt to face,
A future running from the past,
Wondering if it can last.

Days ago, my parents died.
Bitten, when they got inside.
I jumped through a pane of glass,
And made a run across the grass.

I found my way to this old lot,
An easily defended spot.
Its back against a mountain wall,
There is a single entrance hall.

A man called Boris then appeared.
With a thick and greying beard.
He taught me how to cross the yard,
Filled with traps, to help us guard.

In the life he had before,
Boris ran a surplus store.
He had a demolition kit,
Teeming with illegal shit.

Seven people on this floor,
Up the stairs, a handful more.
The mercenaries slept upstairs,
Focused on their own affairs.

All the others sleeping well,
Subconsciously preempting hell.
How cruel a morning dawn can be,
Smashing dreams to thought debris.

I took my pen and pad to bed,
and wrote the questions in my head.
When tomorrow you could die,
It's strange to get as far as "why".

How long can we hold this land?
What have these survivors planned?
To fight, and run, and still persist,
Existing here just to exist?

And as I let that question play,
My pen rolled somewhere far away.
Bouncing off my skinny knee,
In a place too dark to see.

I awoke to panicked shouts,
From one of the upstairs scouts.
"Arm yourselves and get your gear!
An army of them's coming here!"

I peeked through a wooden crack,
A legion, ready for attack.
All the humans loaded clips,
Strapping extras to their hips.

Silhouetted by the dawn,
Heading for the grassy lawn,
Uncountable, and very dense
The undead army was immense

The people scrambled to prepare,
They forgot that I was there.
Uninformed, and unequipped.
The first of the traps were tripped.

A claymore mine out in the street,
Exploded with tremendous heat.
Bigger than they all had thought,
It blew the gate off of the lot.

A chunk of undead force was gone,
Still the army shambled on.
Two hundred at the very least,
Eager for their human feast.

And with our back against the wall,
We would have to fight them all.
And as they start across the land,
Here is where we make a stand.

My mouth, it moves,
and the words come out
But I'm the walking dead
who's stumbling about.

My ears, they hear,
and the words come in
But I'm the walking dead
who's full of sin.

My eyes, they see,
the people around
But I'm the walking dead,
above the ground.

My arms, they move,
to and fro
But I'm the walking dead
with nowhere to go.

My legs, they walk me
here and there
But I'm the walking dead
and nobody cares.

My heart, it beats,
but it goes unheard
I'm the walking dead,
saying not a word.

My soul is bleeding,
but none can see
For I'm the walking dead
and no more is me.

The Living Dead
By: Xxbaby dollxX



The hunger is hard to satisfy,
You kiss my lips and I taste your pain.
I can't live,
I can't die,
Why did u do this to me?

The hunger is stronger,
I'm starving and your harder to resist.
You're bleeding on the floor,
I'm afraid I cant take it anymore.

I have to get away,
Before I do something I'm afraid of doing.
I dont want to hurt you,
But it hurts so bad.

The only way I can resist,
A cut here,
A slice there.
I don't know what is going on,
But I can't stand the hurting I feel inside.

You have to let me go,
You have to let me die.
I can't stand to think about what will happen if you don't.
Just know I love you.
I don't want you to go.

It hurts as you back away,
I know you love me too,
You are just doing what you know you have to do.
They are hurting me,
Chaining me up.

You walk in,
The horrors we've seen.
I cringe at you seeing me like this.
I know it hurts you,
What they are planning to do.

You took your life to be with me,
We were trying to escape,
They just popped up unexpected.
You are now infected,
and its my fault.

It hurts,
But We shared our last few seconds together.
As the building bursts into flames,
We kiss our last time,
Hold eachother for the last time,
Say "I love you" For the last time.

We are the living dead

AnthologyPlan

Zombies.

I have chosen zombies as the theme of my anthology. To be honest the idea of rotting disfigured corpses returning from the dead, to eat living human brains is great. Zombies are truly creatures of necessity with only one driving thirst; gather and consume living human brains. When there are zombies there are also small groups of non-zombie "survivors" that are typically running away from said zombies. Do I believe in zombies? not really but, zombies are metaphors for uncontrollable chaos that we are all always running from.

Zombie Unicorn Attack

The walls closed in to my surprise.
I cried, tears in my hazel eyes.
The door blew open as my assassins came in covered in blood.
Their hooves were filled with mud.
"What the?!" I screamed.
"We're zombie unicorns!" they shrieked.
It was true!
Their decaying skin was blue.
They moaned as they came closer to me.
I looked around for an exit, I could not be free.
I kicked as they were about to eat my brain.
They jumped on me, the weight was too much of a strain.
Looks of hunger were in their eyes.
I know what they were thinking, "Brains. Tastier than any pies!"
As they kicked, my blood spurted all around.
Then my head fell with a thud onto the ground.
As my spirit descended, I saw them eat the contents of my head.
"YOU MORONS!" I yelled. I killed them all, and that's why the unicorns are said to be dead.

Trapped Like Rats
Zombie outbreak
Quarantine, locked in a room
“It’s safe here”
“This is for your own protection”
Minutes pass you here screaming
Then you hear the moans
They are coming
People huddle to the back
One way in, one way out
Trapped like rats
A horde is at the door
They pound and pound
People scream at the thought of them breaking in
Chains the only thing holding them back
But it won’t hold for long
A snap signals that death is here
Screaming in terror, no way out
“Protect the children”
It’s no use
No one will survive
It will be a massacre
No where to run
Trapped like rats

Zombie Apocalypse

They stumble run their rotten teeth
They are the terrors from beneath

Jagged claws, pale eyes
Ignore the Infected’s pleading cries

Finish them off is what to do
because later they will come after you

There is no hope they feel no pain
The shoot them now destroy their brain

When you become one, and it is when
you fall pray inside the lions den

Then do make sure,
Find the cure
A bullet to the head for sure

We are condemned to the same fate
to fall to the zombies ravenous hate

And through the infected’s hateful grin
They will tear you limb from limb

They delve like children in the cookie jar
Eating you alive like the free snack bar

You try to scream your muffle cries
as the infected hordes claw out your eyes

Eyes once a treasured gem
Now you have no use for them

Trapped inside our death cage
Like gladiators against the lions rage

Waiting for death to solemly claim
the soul it owns it has no name

The host is now the zombies prey
Do not feel grief or dismay

For you have not long, they will come
Your eyes white skin numb

The pain they bring you must endure
for this Zombie plague there is no cure

Your no longer a survivor, your one of the dead
You lust flesh, your out of your head

Your last sight will be death
Draining your soul your last breath

It’s smoky hand reaches inside
Departing out just like the tide

It takes your memories straight from your head
That marks the moment that you are dead

No time to dig a grave, no fear
Your zombie calling’s finally here

Now your a zombie you have no worth
Time to reak havoc on the survivors of earth

Aftermath

Thought, I will rule the world one day
Thought, I will rule her heart too
Thought, let me take the test
I felt it would be easy to get through

Now that the Dooms day has passed
And I see the remains all around
It feels so good to survive the death spree
But who is he lying in the pool of blood
Why does he look like me?
No! It can’t be…. it can’t be….. me! ! .

Sought all the strength from my bones
Sought her charitable support too
Sought every help I could
I was a fool to think I would get it too.

Now even though nothing remains
My ego tries to fool around
It says I survived the misery
But who is he lying in the pool of blood
Why does he look like me?
No! It can’t be…. it can’t be….. me! ! .

Cannibal Love Poem 1

I grow so sad when thinking on
the rate as which one heals;
specifically, you would be gone
in six or seven meals.
Your fingers – lovely, never rough –
would hardly fill one up;
your precious heart holds not enough
to scantly fill a cup.
And worst of all, I hardly might
get more than one prize cut
before the blade too deeply bites
into some vital gut.
And then, my love, you would be through;
and I cut to the bone;
the lovely meal I’d made of you
I’d have to eat alone.
If only death could be delayed,
my most delicious love,
you might look on as I filleted
you and all cuts thereof.
A ghoul in life, I have been called,
and so would be in death;
let us then, love, be both enthralled
as zombies. What loss breath?
Our love is worth more than such things
as breath and life and laughter;
I long to live unlife with you,
and eat you ever after.
