The Eternal Forest

 

Night finally falls, upon the forest trail

Beyond a campsite, in a sheltered dale

But whoever was there, has now departed

To wander paths, that were never charted

Wind whispers and dappled moonlight falls

Rustling leaves, top endless trees, like walls

It's such a beautiful place, to be led astray

But if you can't leave, you will have to stay

In misadventures, the nightmares scheme 

In cloistered darkness, the unbridled scream

So fear the woodland folk, or unseen sprite

For in the eternal forest, night follows night

There's a familiar stream, amidst the myrtle 

For the path now trodden, is a perfect circle

And it's a blissful place, to choose to roam

Unchanging forever, where forever's alone

Night follows night, upon the forest trail 

Leading to a campsite, in a sheltered dale

But there's no need to linger, just circumvent 

With a path to follow, past an abandoned tent

Zombies Swarm

💀

Zombies everywhere, this way and that

We now know that, as a fact

But what can we do? What can we do?

Just hold them at bay, day after day?

Because they're beyond help

We can't help them...

There's no jab with a cure...

Like in ancient folklore of yore

Their infection was endemic 

Now it's pandemic 

It festers and corrupts

Forever their flesh will be rotten

Their sick minds, accosted and lost

***

They're sirens, with tortured tongues

As they putrefy, without dying 

But what can we do?

Some say they were once human too

Some say a silent prayer

...(always unheard), if they dare

***

They were there, are they here?

If they're not here, they're very near

From a distance, they're of human form

But they're incessant, for zombies swarm 

...corruption's infection, inevitably, spreads

So now there're zombies everywhere 

But they are, or were, humans too

And we were humans too

We were humans?

Now we fight, in a throng, or a swarm

...but zombies swarm?

We know that's a fact

Every which way, this way, or that
