Paraesthesia

For the 100th prompt @ Think Tank Thursday- eccentric.

- pen a poem based on any work of Tim Burton

stabbing, stinging, prickling skin

stick more pins and needles in

from my royal throne I reign

this my kingdom full of pain

odd sensations I cannot quell

but here I rule in private hell

I am the queen of paraesthesia

so doctor please, some anaesthesia

*Paraesthesia is the term used to describe odd skin sensations that are a result of damaged sensory nerves. The sensations felt are usually tingling, burning, stabbing, pricking, crawling, and are often extremely painful and permanent.

Playground

Lardeau River, British Columbia, Canada

come play with me here
where crystal water runs deep
mountains kiss the clouds
pine trees stand guard on the banks
magic in nature's playground

Night Wish

 

                                                    I’ve come to gaze upon a star,

                                                    and wish you back to me.

                                                    All pain has been forgotten.

                                                    The wounds have healed,

                                                    the heart repaired.

                                                    My arms are open wide.

                                                    I’ll wrap you tight in love’s caress,

                                                    until we greet the dawn.

                                                    Then I'll have to let you go.

She's been a bit neglected lately, I plan to remedy that soon.

Moonlight

splendour of the eve

amidst the clouds above us

gentle moonlight touch

gentle moonlight touch

hold me close in your caress

wrap me safely in

wrap me safely in

sheltered from the dark of night

splendour of the eve

Rebirth

soft wind blow through me

gently lift my spirit high

soar beyond the clouds

in the up draught float

hovering above the realm

lofty dreams advance

hope wafts in the breeze

caresses the soul’s shadows

promising rebirth

Haiku Sequence, a number of haiku grouped together continuing one thought, for combined impact  to cover a sequence. Though a continuation of thought, each haiku should be able to stand alone.
