Never underestimate the dead.
Their still bodies are never stagnate for long.
If you trust a corpse to do what is expected,
You will be surprisingly disturbed.
For the deceased rarely stay in one place.
Watch out for the Dark Wonders.
Their eyes are pale as a frozen winter
And glossed like marbles.

I got a distinct zombie-like feel from reading this poem. It was like you were telling a story. Or more like setting the stage for one. This would be the perfect prologue to a zombie story! :D ... Unless I'm misinterpreting this. Either way, amazing! Keep it up!
