Zombie Hallmark card

Dead running,

a nightmare on two feet

just another horror movie cliché.

You and me together,

cold bodies sweating

under a red swollen sun.

Hungry and hunting.

Brain starved fools

in our tattered and torn clothes

and rigor mortis frozen smiles.

I never liked you for just your looks.

And im sure you would have been raptured

if it were not for me.

Through beautifully decayed lips you mumble

                                That’s in the past

All memories are.

Decayed cities glow with fire,

flames flirt with the sky,

and we drift aimless as ash.

Gazing out at the burning horizon,

basking in the glow of a cleansed planet

we kiss.

You rasp dantilly,

                                till death do us part

No, it appears not even at death,

and we cackle at the irony eternity holds.

It is not the happily ever after

we once dreamed of,

but it will have to do.

I’ll spend the perfect apocalypse

Right here with you.

Chasing rainbows

I leave home instinctually
Out the door like a bullet
Hitting the road hard
As if I’ll turn gravel into sand

I move quickly
Toward the horizon
Because I must find it's end
And sleep there
On cold earth

No fire for me
That's  Prometheus’s treasure
And I am no thief.

In the morning I may wake
And find myself called home
By hunger warmth and love

If not
I will keep running towards that spot
Where heaven touches
Because I might never get there otherwise
