Mystified Velocity

Mystified Velocity

A Poem by Rachel DeHart

I have never felt more failed by the english language
than I do whilein your arms. Not a single word
seems to mean what it is supposed to mean. You
have totally swept the world out from under me.
And I am completely okay with falling.
                    because I know you're gonna be catching me.
       I know that you are mine
             to keep.
And that is keeping my heart skipping its beats.
i am lost in the heat your hands flush on my skin
brings to my face. The way I can not catch my breath
when ever you are close to me. There are a thousand words
spring boarding off my head, trying to hard to maybe live
up to what this is.
       the english language wasn't even
       remotely prepared for this.
there is one word that keeps coming to mind.
but even that doesn't feel like enough,
like its been thrown around too much. You mean far more
than anything or anyone its ever been said for or too.
how can I keep myself even a little grounded,
cause don't you see it? I'm floating away caught in the
future I see staring at me through your eyes.
And that is exactly where I want to stay.

So hold on a little tighter,
and let english be mystified
by our magnificence.
By the velocity of our _ _ _ _

This is amazing!

My favorite parts (which correlated so well!) are:
"there is one word that keeps coming to mind.
but even that doesn't feel like enough,
like its been thrown around too much. You mean far more
than anything or anyone its ever been said for or too."

and

"So hold on a little tighter,
and let english be mystified
by our magnificence.
By the velocity of our _ _ _ _"

This is perfect, and I really, really like it :]

I love reading your stuff over and over again :]

These lines amaze me:
"You
have totally swept the world out from under me.
And I am completely okay with falling.
because I know you're gonna be catching me.
I know that you are mine
to keep."

This is definitely one of my favorites :]
