Grim Reaper Banshee

My dry ice veiled voice
Hunting the haunted void
Piecing the ominous air  
Surfing my lips in death’s prayer
 
Parched from shrieking
Lifting my cursed airway
Obsessively seeking
Frozen apparition doorways
 
Frostbitten and withered
Ghosts anxious to be thawed
Melted by my screaming presence
Teasing hints of transcendence
 
Absorbing my legendary wailing
Draining my omens into delusions
Spirits trying to escape Lucian
From unheeded lost warnings

Unholy misfortunate memories
Of the ill-fated day they met me
Folklore’s new hybrid fairy
 
The Grim Reaper Banshee

Author's Note
I think Banshees are just so mesmerizing.
In folklore they look scary but in my mind I find them
powerful and alluring. Just wanted to write about
them and their similarities to the grim reaper
