Poet Destroyer A Poet Free verse

Forbidden

~ZOMBIE NIGHT~ 

WHINING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes
Ascension of the dead -Longing to live again 

Sands of desert flip the hour glass back
WHIMPERING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes 

Taking light from where evil stays 
Feeding away leaving behind a death valley zone
WONDERING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair

Dead souls forsake the common land
Shadowing like Equinox light 
Walking corpse covered in rotten barren sand
WINDY WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND 
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air

Upright, forward broken taboo 
Searching for the perfect breath of fresh air
Sounds of symbols march the ground
Searching to find their missing heartbeat
WHISKING WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night


Ascension of the dead  -Long to live again 
Bones slowly desert distorted resting home
Moonlight vanishing in complete despair
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
WHEN WHISPERS MOVE ACROSS FORBIDDEN LAND

Debra Mo July 14, 2016 at 2:20 AM Nice poem

Kai Michael Neumann May 22, 2016 at 10:49 AM I like the repetition, ascending or descending, which ever way from you look at it. "And whining whispers move across forbidden land" on its own stands out and stands alone as it flows very well.

David Mitchell May 10, 2016 at 2:55 PM Enjoyed reading love your use of works to describe happenings....

Markus Fleischmann April 23, 2016 at 6:27 PM I really enjoyed this...it is a story of many tales your words take roads that few date take...it is dark and beautiful, loving and sad. You have mad skill with ink and quill

Joel Thornton November 22, 2014 at 6:13 AM BRAVO!! I love this poem.. It is so my type .. I would marry it if I could .. Serious though, it is very very good.. It seems it could fit right in to some older Neurosis lyrics.. (coming from me, that is high praise) THANKS FOR BEING CREATIVE AND SHARING YOUR ART WITH ME. I will definitely come back and read this again. Joel

Mel Merrill May 23, 2014 at 1:43 AM Holy smokes. Your vocabulary surpasses mine, and that's a painful thing to admit lol This poem is amazing, but also delightfully depressing. I DO NOT LIKE the way the elderly are discarded in our country. Bravo for an outstanding write, Linda. I know better than to ever challenge you at a free-verse. Amazing sillz, my sweet...xox...Mel :)
