My Kryptonite

"A Cemetery Tale "

I stay away from the cemetery at night for that is where he lives 
I call him the Demon head, and he has horns  of alabaster calcite 
every time I visit my friend's grave, I always break out in hives 
cuz he is always there shedding his horns, all through the night 

I light my lantern and walk with a mask on in case he's hiding 
bidding my time I smoke a cig or too, and wait for the daylight 
he never comes around here, behind the aluminum siding  
when dawn finally arrives, I am free from his kryptonite 

Dancing pumpkins, roiling breath of cadavers and body rots 
deadly snakes and big fat bats that fly into cracked empty pots 
Demon head with all his rotting diplomats cannot shed fear  
when it comes to the likes of him, well I stay clear.....

I stay away from cemeteries and Demon's with horns of calcite 
cuz when they shed, the hives begin to itch with all their might.

A cemetary is not my idea of a place to be, especially at night. I’d haul tail if I were to see the thing you described. Good write, Mystic.
