Dark coils of raven hair whitened by winter’s snow
Skin pale and blue from antiquated rage and the unrelenting, tumultuous cold
Poised in a glistening meadow of snowflakes, of ice
To steal the souls and petrify the bodies of any mortal life
A disconcerted but enchanted mortal would wander to her form
Too entranced to know such being is one they would deem “dark-borne”
Let her lay a single hand upon your unworthy chin,
and feel your skin dissolve into ice or a whirl of mist
Blue lips, dark eyes, and skin the shade of snow
Once she takes ahold of you, the Yuki-Onna must never let you go
~ Sammicakes
