What name pours forth instinctively
when we are born again;
borne into the arms of love;
into a new eternity;
tiny, helpless, wide-eyed and clinging?

EM-MA!
The mother of all words of love.
EM-MA!
When I’m too stupefied
to vocalize the things I feel.
EM-MA!
Emma is all that I can say.
It jets forth like a natural spring
when I’m riding high upon love.
EM-MA!
Em-maculate* conception!
EM-MA!
Em-mancipation* from all cares!
EM-MA
EM-MA
EM-MA is a kiss.

*I know that the word is Immaculate/Emancipation. It's just poetic license.

Well, you're free to interpret it as you wish but I intended it as a love poem for a woman. I'm really glad that you enjoyed it though. Thanks very much, Pia

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Okay- got it wrong then but it could be a newborn in a way- that's how I understood it but after a second read I see now what you mean. OOps...

That's okay. I believe that

That's okay. I believe that a poet only writes half a poem and that the other half is written in the mind of the reader, the meaning giver. Essentially, I was just looking for a woman's name that sounded like a kiss. I saw Emma Watson, the actress and that gave me the sound I wanted, say EM-MA and it makes your lips move in a kissing motion.
