zombie

04/2013

images fly by in frames

blurring together

orchestrating my sight

as I am stuck in the spiders web

in this trap designed by my predecessor 

I just want her to come back

to save me from my undoing

from this grave atrocity

 

this overwhelming horror

that I am accepting

with every labored breath

with every faltered step

I conform to the undead passenger

that contorts inside me

Yes, beautifully dark, and still with some hope there. I like the idea, you transform again in this piece, and it could be you're a spider yourself, eaten by the black widow, but also a fly, or another bug (as you see yourself in this maybe)... plus the connection to zombies, it could all be~ very deep, rich and wonderful poetry. xx

When love leaves your side, they take all of your life in their stride. I resonate with this poem. Great write.

Hey, this reminds me somewhat of the piece I wrote called "Zombie" as well. Though mine was a bit different and written differently, obviously cause I couldn't and didn't want to steal your beautiful words. And yeah, the feeling of after someone leaves...it's as if your heart got stunned, frozen or stopped and you begin proceeding through each day in a blur. Everything slows down and nothing feels quite right. Scary, but a completely relatable feeling!

Intriguing write. It has a strange power. It is deep and it is dark. But somehow, it is not without hope. The main flavour I get here is one of incompleteness. The horror is incompleteness. A zombie is incomplete. That is why it is referred to as "undead" rather than "alive". I like the beginning too... "orchestrating my sight" is a wonderful phrase. Well done!

I love the torture of the chaotic visuals. Blurred visions and the battle within while being trapped to witness all. And yet you cry mercy. Very cool.
