This volume is a presentation of love
poems written by the author in response to the absence of
his love. Upon his love's return to her homeland in order to
complete her studies, the author felt strongly compelled to
pen deeply emotional poetry in an attempt to express both
his intense love for her, and his own sorrow at her absence.
Upon reading the poems, one clearly begins to discern that
they convey a range of different moods. Some are a joyful
celebration of Ramona's beauty; some are a lamentation of
her absence; one or two even show indignation at what the
author deems to be the unfair treatment directed towards
him. In spite of this wide array of moods conveyed by the
author, it is abundantly clear that these poems are borne
out of an intense love for Ramona-a love often tinged with
pain. Before publishing this volume, the author
commissioned a traditional hand bound copy of these poems as
a personal gift to Ramona, the woman who inspired them.
