The Peppermint ManApril 9th, 2005A child finds Nod when the sun takes leave and fiends of twilight their games do weave. The peppermint man with the roll-up face and moon rock eyes and hair of lace creeps in the shadows on the ceiling at night, watching over babes and keeping out of sight. Ne'er is he weary in wake of scaries, even when faced with blightful fairies, though the fairy lord wields a hunger, savage as his minion droves, what rape and ravage. But now is the calm with the night soothing dark while the stars, in peace, shimmer and spark. Then half past the hour of the sabbat's birth, comes carried on wind a stygian mirth. The most hellish of sprites arrive with a crack to harvest the youth for their lord's nightly snack. They gather above the pure vestal spread and hum softly a spell of terror and dread. But gleaming from shadows are two moon rock eyes; the peppermint man in a state of apprise... Leaps from his veil, silent and swift, and un-rolls his face and opens his rift! He devours each fae with one fearsome bite and rolls up his face and fades back to night. The peppermint man with the roll-up face and moon rock eyes and hair of lace returns to the shadows on the ceiling at night, watching over babes and keeping out of sight. |
