Hungry Hearts
I would give anything to live
yet you wish to die
Standing there all alone, in tears
Well, I never give up a free meal
This hunger for human brains
wish I could quit them
but an animal's isn't the same
Guess it's your lucky day
As I step closer
the more beautiful you become
It almost pains me to see
such a pretty thing suffering
Didn't think I had these emotions left
Only thing I ever feel
is the pain of my rotten flesh
keeping me in unrest
Instead of ripping out your guts
I comfort you with a pat;
To my surprise
you’re not even scared
I have been long dead
from inside...
Like a lone star
frozen in timelessness
That loneliness...eating me up like termites
Irony isn't it... I feel all alone
though the universe is bedazzled
with many sparkling stones
Unloved and uncared
true love is that I have always longed for
I would give up my life
for a few kind words and a loving touch
Your body may be cold
but there is warmth I feel in your soul
I offer you my blood and flesh
for love...
Love me ...oh just love me
until I'm no more...
I wonder what I was like
in my past life
Maybe a pop icon
or some beloved politician, ha!
Let’s face it
I was just some nobody
though I have no recollection
All I know for sure
is my heart hasn’t beaten since,
yet today I swear I felt a thump
Now I have this warmth;
Urges that make me want to go out
sing a song, or give flowers
You hold my hand
it doesn't matter that it's blistered
You see me for who I am
or at least who I was
Maybe I was a prince
turned zombie
With one kiss, princess
make me human again
A deluge of emotions I feel
gushing through my body,
welling up in my eyes
as you take me in your embrace
I will break all taboos ,my darling
to undo the voodoo
changing you into human
from the living dead
This I say with no regret
you are warmer than the
cold indifferences of people I have met
Hold me, please hold me tighter
let the warmth of your love penetrate
and make me feel alive again
As I put my lips on yours
gazing into your eyes
there is something that tells me
you will always be mine
Your kiss is sweet
too sweet
I bite open your bottom lip
The flavor of human flesh
enrages my hunger
As much as I crave love
I desire fed more
You try running,
hysteria has you tripping and falling
Oh how I wish you were faster
The next bite sinks above your left breast
Blood comes pouring out,
but the taste is just too delicious
I can’t help myself
I’m sorry darling
as much as this hurts you
it’s killing me
For us zombies
We’re just not meant for love
Bit by bit
piece by piece
she became a part of him
in body
...but not soul
The earth cries an eerie silence
lamenting at the strewn bones
A ghostly weeping haunts the scene
while the wind searches for the love
she never received
There goes the walking dead
licking blood off his hands
A slave to his primal urges,
what could one expect
After all he is a Man
whether living or dead...
yet you wish to die
Standing there all alone, in tears
Well, I never give up a free meal
This hunger for human brains
wish I could quit them
but an animal's isn't the same
Guess it's your lucky day
As I step closer
the more beautiful you become
It almost pains me to see
such a pretty thing suffering

We definitely like the darkness and the blending, both at times times coming from different angles. But the darkness is where the to merge with both making the ultimate sacrifice, tight

Well thank you very much 😁 I do feel the darkness of the poem really brings it together. Also InDreamz is such an amazing poet i feel very lucky to have done 3 poems with her.
We both appreciate the read.

It was great working with you as well, friend 😁 You were able to shoot this one to the moon. It might have took awhile but got it out just in time hehe. I always trust your writing skills though. When something comes to you then some amazing work is shown.
Thank you for the collaboration, but also thank you for being a great supporter and friend.

Yessss!!!
Absolutely stellar work to you both!! This was so immersive, darkly rich and a brilliant tale of woe. I think you both meshed incredibly well and really produced a truly special and awesome result! This is by far and undoubtedly the best collaboration; head and shoulders above! (in my opinion!) I'm so glad you both showed just how truly beautiful collaboration can be with stunning work like this. It really highlights your vast creativity and writing prowess by showing perfectly, what two very talented folks can accomplish when working so well together.
I am head over heels about the ending... Truly inspired and just spot on!
What a Halloween treat, indeed.
Phenomenal job!

That is the best comment hands down 😁 though I'm gonna ignore you saying this is the best collaboration seeing as we did one and it was also freaken amazing! I still get all warm and fuzzy thinking about me being able to have done a poem based off May hehe. All my collaborations feel special to me though. It is truly a cherishing experience.
Thank you so very much, friend. I was really hoping you would see this poem. I know you like zombies 🧟♀️🧟

Oh my God, this is awesome. And I love InDreamz, she’s amazing. You couldn’t have a better writing partner there. Ah to offer some beautiful brains… Sometimes the brain is our worst enemy. So much overwhelming anxiety. Perhaps letting someone else feed on it is the solution. Aw, a pat is so cute. Why does that image of a zombie patting my head seem so cute damnit. Lol And that pic is beyond perfect. The beautiful reckless abandon in seeking love following loss. Sometimes it seems it is only found in death. That you would do anything for love, even die. Beloved politician * cough * Oh God, is that possible? I love the snow white story unfolding.. (well in reverse) Contemplating what you were and what you can be. What you want to be for love. What each of you would do for that love. Oh damn! This love story turned macabre pretty fast. Totally perfect, I love the build up of true love and desire followed by being eaten. Literally. Lol I like how it can be arranged such that individual parts stand alone like separate poems.

I felt so lucky to be able to do these collaborations for the Halloween poems. I really didn't think I would be doing anymore but to get three going with three great writers was awesome. And yeah, InDreamz is just perfection. Such a sweet person too.
This poem did come out great. I know loving my owe work is a bit much haha, but I really like looking back at those Halloween poems. It was just fun.
Thank you so very much for the read, friend 😁 it is very much appreciated.
