Lost in a feeling that’s so unreal
My mind, this grip, it begins to reel
What’s this, this heavy weight on my chest?
Concrete thoughts that now seem stressed

Tumultuous being, an existence disturbed
Once so grounded, now perturbed
Once so clear, now all is smeared
I turned my head, and you appeared

And you, an angel, an imposing light
Blinding, burning, a youth so bright
An exotic manner, fresh and new
Has ruptured all I thought I knew

An emotion, impossible to exist
Lips, too impossible, that I kissed
Hands, so impossible, that I held
This weight it grew, this perplexity swelled

Sturdy ground, now waves of confusion
The stone, shaken by such an intrusion
Giving way ‘neath my weakened feet
So impossible, yet so wonderfully sweet

Changed, I became, so changed by you
Altered eyes through which I view
Enthralled, I am, lost in this bliss
This damage, that one impossible kiss

What now? I ask, now that I am lost
All of the lines, you have crossed
I wade in these depths, your impossible hand
I hold, cling to it, in this strange land

So unbelievable, so incredibly untrue
So enchanted, so overcome by you
This new feeling, I hold it so tight
I give in, and bathe in your impossible light

Inspired by Homo Faber, a novel by Max Frisch.
