It's my pleasure



Dear Ms. Ramella,

It's my pleasure to be in your company. You are so playful and fun. I like how you let it all hang out dancing and you make a point of truly being yourself. You are one of the happiest people I know. You shed inhibitions and share your happiness with all those around you. You get to the heart of the matter. Next to my mother, you are the most beautiful person I know.


And just look at this photo. Your sense of style and improvisation is superb. Through your care you have brought great things to my life. My mechanic hands got a manicure, seasoned face got a green tea mask, and I will now go to the mall just to be with you. Your spirit brings a refreshing balance of softness and nurturing that I have come to depend on every day. Aside from wooing me with fashion, you have influenced my life greatly in terms of what one should expect and project from the world around. Thanks for letting me learn more about the world through your eyes. You teach me so much.

I'd have to say it's more than my pleasure; it's my priviledge to be in your company. Through the actions of my love, I think you will find these feelings reciprocal.

Letter to your mom

Dear Mrs. Ramella,

Please consider me for the position as serving as loving faithful boyfriend to your most excellent daughter, Sueann. I think you will find through my deeds, experience, and life that I am a great man for her. For the past 6 months the majority of my free time has been with your daughter having some of the most memorable joyous experiences I have ever had. I love Sueann very much and would go to great means for her.

Ever since I was little, I knew great things were in store for me. Early life experiences taught me the importance of honesty, perseverance, and hard work. Growing up, I did various jobs to help those in my community and provide for those things I need in my life. My first official job was as a dishwasher/prep cook and I also cooked for my family often, which should be an indication of my kitchen skills. Please have some of my homemade Sueann Friendly bread as a token of this. I love cooking new dishes for your daughter and promise to share in household chores because I see them as a shared responsibility. When Sueann was having an open house and little time to get ready, I took off work to clean and do work on her house.

Through my hard work and dedication, I have received great character references and never had a problem pleasing those I work for. Before I finished my master’s degree, I received a faculty position at Washington State University. This career has a bright future and my talents have been recognized as I have recently received two job offers and a healthy promotion after just 3 years. My teaching and mentoring role is also growing. I am in charge of a new cutting edge analytical laboratory that analyzes samples for forensics, biology, hydrology, astronomy, and global change research throughout the world, with clientele and capabilities growing constantly. My efforts have allowed me to support myself through school and buy a home.

My father and grandfather instilled in me that anything is possible if you believe you can do it. Both also taught me the importance of family. My father left a high paying accountant job to raise our family on an earthy crunchy farm because he cared so much about our experience being wholesome and healthy. My dad built our house, fixed our cars, and raised our crops and animals. I could do the same for my family. With my new house, I learned to do many things with my own hands and do. My hands are good and nurturing life and fixing things that may seem dead, which I think you will agree is useful to have around the house.

My mother taught me the importance of love and understanding. I could always talk with my mother about anything. She taught me to cook and to listen. Through her examples, she taught me how to care for others first, and to do great things without expecting recognition. I am humble because of my mother. My mother taught me to love that which you come from, and respect what you use. She also taught me to be true; I think you will find that I am one of the realest, honest, caring people you will meet.

Last, but not least, I am committed to be active in mind, body, and spirit. This fire for life in me is fueled to new levels by your daughter and her perspective. In symbolism of the new world Sueann has opened up for me, I am giving her the gift of another hemisphere.

Baby it's cold outside...



Still no matter what, you fill me with warmth. It could be simply from the warmth of your spirit as evidenced by the cheer you bring to all those around you. When I see photos you take, people smile genuinely because they feel you on the other end of the lens. Much like when you are on the radio, you bring happiness with your far outstretched arms. You openly give love to the world around.

Maybe it’s your deeds that bring me warmth. You write such incredible things to me. You help me cut firewood. You help me garden. You cook such wonderful meals for me, crafted from scratch and the most wholesome ingredients. You show your appreciation for me in so many ways. It is always straight from your overflowing heart.

Maybe it’s the fire you create inside me. That is all encompassing; a culmination of all that you are and do for me. You drive me wild with your style, personality and actions. The passion of our interaction could keep us warm on the coldest winter nights. And as I’ve told you, there’s no reason it can’t be like this everday. I plan on loving you more and stronger every day of my existence. You are the fuel for this fire in me, making me a better man. I am solely yours. Curl up close to me, and I will share this immense heat.

Warm, soft, sweet
A Touch, whisper
Home beneath finger tips
In front of lips
In your eyes
I pull you closer, embracing strength
Gently, tighter
There is no confusion
Oh, how I need you
Oh, what I would do for you
Breathe on my neck
Closer, faster, deeper
One touch to full embrace
Two become one
Only in dreams did I think it could be like this
This is too perfect to be dreaming.

Synapses regenerate
Earth shakes with anticipation
This is the ultimate highness

Our first date


You look brilliant. Light flowery top, seasoned blue jeans, hair in a ponytail. I know you mean business, but you are casual and relaxed. We take in an outdoor market, parade and motorcycle show. Best first date ever! Walking around with you feels like this is not the first or last time.

With a push of a button the engine roars to life, I hear your excited giggle muffled by the helmet. You hold me tight as we take off and come into my back as I brake, norms of the first date shattered by the nature of it all.

“This is a fast way to get to know someone!” You say.
We haven’t even left the city limits, babe.

The whole time I was thinking of all my experience doing this, riding bikes, relationships, being in tune with my surroundings. The feeling of perfection was all around, and I felt so in tune with our environment, like living the best dream ever. Through this awareness and strength I was moved to protect and care for you with all my might.

Soon, back to the blacktop. It is brilliant, what we both have been waiting for. All four cylinders fire in perfect time, happy with the load, humming along with us and what we create. White lines spiral and weave. The road is deserted and the whole world opens up before us. Our conversations open up another new world buzzing with adventure. At the end of this trip, we are approaching 300 miles of blacktop and everything between.

“You are a hardcore woman,” I say.

Never before have I met a woman so delightful and dedicated. You are screaming with the most striking feminine fashion, yet stronger than many men with your spirit. The day turns to evening and we are still together and I feel a fire burning. After 7 years dreaming of you, you gave me 14 hours of the best first date ever. Thank you so much, Ms. Ramella. That was the best embrace ever.

All things considered




She first entered my life as the energetic, spontaneous, and delightful soul that she is. Her voice danced in my head with the most soothing melodies. Every day she greets me when I return home. Every day I appreciate her wit, her knowledge. She puts me in touch with everything greater than I. Her words reach out across the whole land I call my home and penetrate me like rays of light on the first day of spring.

She warms so many with her light, day in and day out, through the purest, most intimate media of mass communication. A job like this so important and cherished, without much fame and fortune, always showed me that this woman had a great sense of pride and self belief with an overwhelming desire to do good things.

Ever since this first experience, she reminds me of home. For seven years I dreamed of living a parallel life with her, considering anything, as I had a huge crush on her. On the seventh year, I met her and life has never been the same. Things have never been so perfect.

Oh Ms. Diva
Won’t you tell me more?
Ears eyes eagerly wait
Inside me vibrates with your resonance
Closer we can together
A taste of your world
Reveals my dreams
