Garret
By N.A. Triantaffelow
Long black robes and tangled beard,
He came with wagon, horse, and cheered,
"Come one, come all!" He'd say with delight,
"Alehaz, my tricks are right!"
And he would dance and sing and disappear,
Tip-and-tap was all we'd hear,
Up on stage, grin in place,
We'd all adore that lovely face,
But night fell and we would sleep and sleep,
And our fair mage would creep and creep,
From door... to door...
With knife in hand...
Cutting, stabbing, without a start,
Tearing from us, our beating heart,
And morn would come, and he would stand,
Up on stage, wand in hand,
Playing, singing, new tricks today,
Laughing, drinking, their souls away,
Impressions, now done too well,
For his tricks we did fell,
And late in day he would leave,
Much new masks in his sleeve,
All in one, he would ride,
And we'd awake, terrified,
What was this new form of fear?
A friend so well he did appear,
But in our dreams, we would tear,
Garret, Garret, we adore,
Singing, dancing, all in store...
Knife in hand, black at core,
Garret, Garret, evermore.

Description:
Number four. The title, and the content, are after a character from my series of novels set within the self-created universe of Eterobscura. The character is a middle aged human man, very mundane in appearance though quite the unkempt fellow.
He's a split personality, and has an infinite amount of personalities to play, so you never know who you're actually speaking to.
Funny, eh?
One of his personalities, by chance, is a deranged illusionist-psychopathic killer. <.< >.> - Date: 12/13/2008
