    Correct Sheriff Fatman, it is fear.

    New one:

    In daytime I lie pooled about,
    At night I cloak like a mist.
    I creep inside shut boxes and
    Inside your tightened fist.
    You see me best when you can't see,
    For I do not exist.

    Correct, new one:

    Both king and horse have this, of course,
    But you'll want neither of them, perforce.

    Correct, new one:

    If you have it,
    You want to share it.
    If you share it,
    You don't have it.
    What is it?

    I can't tell you the answer Gambit. It's a secret.

    :D

    Next one then:
    A man of a hundred stood out in the cold,
    Exchanged his gay headdress, of colors most bold,
    For one of pure ivory, just now a day old.

    But though freshly dressed, the old man
    stood alone - It was his misfortune to live on a wold.

    I think it's a tree, with the headress being the leaves. The reference to wold would then explain why he stands alone (he's in a field, not a forest).

    Correct Sheriff, tree it is.

    New one:

    What is always in front of you
    but cannot be seen?

    Your nose? Can't really see it... I suppose, if you're fat, it could be your penis. :D

    The future?

    DU, it doesn't say "cannot be seen by you." If you have a penis that cannot be seen at all, you should see someone about it.

    Correct, future it is.

    Next then:

    With thieves I consort,
    With the vilest, in short,
    I'm quite at ease in depravity;
    Yet all divines use me,
    And savants can't lose me,
    For I am the center of gravity.

    Correct, next one:

    I drive men mad
    For love of me,
    Easily beaten,
    Never free.
