They Call Her...Yuki-Onna
Stygian night
In depths within forest
Blizzards of snow
Brings the spirit
The owner of white flakes
She treads upon arctic paths
Her footprints do not parade
Nefarious presence she brings
As fear settle on trees
A stagnant, steady pace she walks
In search to feed...
Skin illuminates with snow
Cold, and hauntingly beautiful
Elegant eyes, that pierce hearts
In her path, awaits misfortune
Of a man, lost by such grace
A wave of her hand...
And he is frozen
Breath of life leaves his body
Tips and lips turn to frost
As she approaches the icebound form
Gently parts his lips
Closes in to partake her meal
Vital energy of life
Leaves his embodiment, as it swirls
Into her mouth, then she swallows
Savors every taste of soul
She turns then leaves
As frigid body slowly shatters
A sepulchral night
The moon is shadowed
By dancing snowflakes covering their mistress's tracks
With the blizzard...
She is gone
Another sacrifice puts away her appetition
In depths within forest
Blizzards of snow
Brings the spirit
The owner of white flakes
She treads upon arctic paths
Her footprints do not parade
Nefarious presence she brings
As fear settle on trees
A stagnant, steady pace she walks
In search to feed...
Skin illuminates with snow
Cold, and hauntingly beautiful
Elegant eyes, that pierce hearts
In her path, awaits misfortune
Of a man, lost by such grace
A wave of her hand...
And he is frozen
Breath of life leaves his body
Tips and lips turn to frost
As she approaches the icebound form
Gently parts his lips
Closes in to partake her meal
Vital energy of life
Leaves his embodiment, as it swirls
Into her mouth, then she swallows
Savors every taste of soul
She turns then leaves
As frigid body slowly shatters
A sepulchral night
The moon is shadowed
By dancing snowflakes covering their mistress's tracks
With the blizzard...
She is gone
Another sacrifice puts away her appetition

"She treads upon arctic paths

vampiric forces at work in the snow....to steal away the life energy....very good concept....i enjoyed your description of this entity in winter feeding on the weak...

This concept was inspired by an actual folklore in Japan...
Yuki-Onna means Snow Woman/ lady ...either that or ice lady
there are many re-told story versions of her...
Thank you so much for your lovely visit dear Jeff.
I was mostly inspired by your approach and type of works to bring this on to this table...
Much appreciations & love
