Turning turning gone
Bexley & Stan (I am Bexley)
During the yellow, dusty morn’ of our
Inception, did you feel the undead
Spider crawling over our teeth as we embraced?
To make our love more real you would turn me...
Red roses are still the same under
A new name, isn't this so?
Currying favors with the goddess of death
To just a have taste of you, my darling Bex...
Ingratiated in the sudden future of fearful black torments, like a pinch of radiative substance
Often I find myself lingering at your supple lips too closely to get atoms loose and see what you create inside of me
Nonchalantly placing mismatched equations of my life and death in your hands, so we may have a change in my chemistry....
--------
Author note: hope you enjoyed this acrostic poem. This is for my character’s Bexley and Stan, who are a dedicated couple. Bexley is a zombie and Stan is a human. I created this lovely couple several years ago and they are one of my closest and most favorite people/zombie folk.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
