HOW CAN WE BE OF ONE MIND WHEN WE ALL HAVE MIND'S OF OUR OWN

There's madness in enlightenment,
preferring darkly recesses of denial
whilst moon descends sensibilities,
shedding white powder florescence
fracturing every crack & crevice,
most days long to dwell
in oblivion, remembers it fondly,
before unicorns and monsters
became real and materialized
taunting duskiest memories
always knew in her bones
that something was askew,
fear and breathlessness
a huge part of her psyche,
on the surface she seemed
to have it together but,
her marrow was aware,
as dysfunctional trembled - -
nagging blitzed neurons,
felt its prevailing intrusiveness
a foreboding presence beckoning
in blindingly echoed vocalizations,
long before time even existed
She lives in continuous disorder,
tucked away within her own reflection
chaos extruding every wakeful moment,
powerless to cease mind-boggling adaptations

I once met a Vietnamese girl
Whose weak English put head in a whirl...
Said, “Though love you I can,
Belong Chocolate Man,”
And I knew that I’d found a rare pearl.

Poet's Note:
I don't think I've ever seen a limerick more dense, more true, or more beautiful than what you have just read. If you are not smitten right away, give it some time, perhaps read it again tomorrow!

Care to pause and ponder upon
the mathematical proportional sum
of that miniscule electron
in the microscopic atom.
Then further have the mind digress
upon the quantity of atom's
amassed as molecule's to impress
the awesome arithmetic's address
in one Blessed rain-drop's Earthly quest.
Guess the number of orbiting Planets
in the Universal whirling Systems
The number of Suns in a Galaxy
How many Galaxies are there around
the numbers prolifically astound
Mind-boggling,the virtues profound.
