Baptism

One of my many dark poems.

Far off voices
Whisper in the night
Tender are the moments
Just before light
Speak to me darling
And carry me across
The water burns
And my feet blister
A cry of pain
With tears of joy
A baptism in Hell
Or could this be Heaven?

Limbs reaching upward
Grasping for something not yet there
A fiery ball radiates and pulsates
Heat rises and the air becomes chilled
Seek me out
In a crowd of billions
Draw me near
Set me free
My soul yearns for freedom
A freedom this world cannot give
Long for your touch
To be held in your embrace
Keep me safe
My love
From myself

The Dead Effect by Terry Vinson

Tales of The Zombie or for soap opera fans, perhaps 'Days of The Dead' might be more appropriate.
