Turning turning gone
Bexley & Stan (I am Bexley)
During the yellow, dusty morn’ of our
Inception, did you feel the undead
Spider crawling over our teeth as we embraced?
To make our love more real you would turn me...
Red roses are still the same under
A new name, isn't this so?
Currying favors with the goddess of death
To just a have taste of you, my darling Bex...
Ingratiated in the sudden future of fearful black torments, like a pinch of radiative substance
Often I find myself lingering at your supple lips too closely to get atoms loose and see what you create inside of me
Nonchalantly placing mismatched equations of my life and death in your hands, so we may have a change in my chemistry....

Author note: hope you enjoyed this acrostic poem. This is for my character’s Bexley and Stan, who are a dedicated couple. Bexley is a zombie and Stan is a human. I created this lovely couple several years ago and they are one of my closest and most favorite people/zombie folk.

Awww, Bex and Stan! This was just so romantic and lovely! So happy you wrote a poem about them!
Melissa, I love this so much! I am beginning to fall in love with these characters and there are SO MANY amazing lines in here. "I find myself lingering at your supple lips too closely to get atoms loose and see what you create inside of me"...😍😍😍 Also that last line is fire! This is a really creative take on the challenge and I love it so much! 🥹❤️❤️
