Zombies

Sound of footsteps

Came across their ears

As they were passing through

Mangroves,

Muddy path made their feet

Hardly move,

It was in the light of twilight,

Howls of hyenas

Reverberating with echoes of darkness,

The pair in the drama lost their track,

The sky above turned crimson gloom

And bloody drops drizzled as clouds

Gnawed by blizzards,

The couple, being newly married

Looked for serene environs

Found themselves in the otherwise, footsteps approaching with eerie calmness the couple panicked

And made a run but to their aghast

Realised they were not, In fact,

Something held their feet

And were arrested to stuck at

The same place,

Prayers were hardly

Coming out, become, they like

Living statues with bated breath,

Couldn't make any plans

To escape,

Zombies struck the scene

Prowling to release their soul,

Eyes were popping out, clothes

Were tattered, walked - they towards

The young married couple,

On having their sight the pair shocked

And frightened

But let me say don't take this horror

As a routine cliched affair, rather

This is a story of unfulfilled wishes,

That became deformed with senses.,

They plead the couple to burn their bodies

And help them in integrating with the skies.
