Emma

I haven't seen you,
but I have seen into you.
I haven't met you,
but I have met with you.
You are the essence
the soul
the pinnacle
of womanhood -
strong and vulnerable,
beauty and flesh,
compassion and generosity
of every turn and twist of
your lovely body
and
the never-ending torture of
your limitless passion.
The only way
to live is
away from you
and
yet never far -
in words, lines
sketches and images.
