			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Lord is the mighty Shepherd.</p>
<p>The Shepherd of all the hills and plains.</p>
<p>To the herd he is their master &#8211; having procured their devotion.</p>
<p>In the midst of hungry wolves the Lord is steadfast and ready.</p>
<p>Ready to pluck his beloved sheep out of the mouth of the enemy,</p>
<p>leading them to safety.</p>
<p>With his voice he can move mountains.</p>
<p>Declaring that he is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.</p>
<p>The destiny of each faithful sheep lies in his hands,</p>
<p>the mighty hands of the Shepherd.</p>
<p>His love and protection he willingly gives to those that follow him.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A warm rain now cools a warmer day<br />As we lie together at our private pool side<br />Suites long ago discarded<br />The rain now washing our nude bodies</p>
<p>Like soft fingers on our skin it is<br />Sensation only soft falling rain can bring<br />Our mouths wide open too to drink it in<br />This is the glory of a rainy summer&rsquo;s eve</p>
<p>I reach now to your well washed body<br />Adding ten more soft fingers on your skin<br />I see you shudder in delight as I touch you<br />Breasts and nipples lifted upward proud</p>
<p>Now rain is nice for certain things<br />It has clearly set a most erotic tone<br />You have rolled now into my waiting arms<br />Our lips have met in most tender kiss</p>
<p>When younger we&rsquo;d have stayed right there<br />And made passionate love in that warm rain<br />But now the warm and dry inside appeals more<br />So, smiling, hand in hand, that&rsquo;s where we go</p>
<p>With soft towels we dry each other&rsquo;s bodies<br />Hands now quite experienced at that task<br />Adding still more to our mutual excitement<br />But we know too there is no need to rush</p>
<p>Though summer still I have lit a fire<br />And stacked pillows in places tried before<br />We sip brandy as we speak our words of love<br />We will make love when the proper time has come</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Inspired by Vogue.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is going to be a story, an experiment for me, to see if I can make a decent story out of words that came from a Vogue magazine.&nbsp; I chose the words from the ads or contents or articles, and put those words together in my own way to make my own story.&nbsp; You should try doing the same and see if you like it because at least it was easy for me to do and it may be easy for you as well.&nbsp; I think this piece is good because I like the words I used.&nbsp; Haha.&nbsp;</p>
<p>I used these words:&nbsp; Delighted, rediscover, past love, private collection, targeted, rose, one-shoulder dress, silk, luxurious, diamond earrings, even complexion, brighten, clarity, lasting hold, smoother, softer, the first time, perfection.</p>
<p>And with those words I made it into a story like This:</p>
<p>&#8220;Delighted to rediscover a past love from my private collection, I targeted the woman wearing the rose one-shoulder silk dress, luxurious diamond earrings, with even complexion.&nbsp; She brightened up the room.&nbsp; With clarity in what I wanted at that moment, I embraced her intensely in what seemed like a forever-lasting hold, her skin softer and smoother than the first time we sat close to each other while experiencing the perfection of a sunrise.&#8221;</p>
<p>I hope you liked it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The abyss, a crater of elimination and annihilation, <br />An area of hostile nations. </p>
<p>The abyss, a canyon of death and doom, <br />Where not even a flower blooms. </p>
<p>The abyss, a crevice of blood and bones, <br />The people below with deep, murderous tones. </p>
<p>The abyss, a portal of scares and fright, <br />Nightmares come true where there is no light. </p>
<p>The abyss, a fissure of fights and war, <br />A sight of misty darkness with no laws.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now my zombies, <br />Now my friends, <br />From the walkway, <br />Into the guard. </p>
<p>Now my zombies are in the woods, <br />Now my zombies are eating, <br />Now my zombies are in the forest, <br />Now my zombies are feasting. </p>
<p>From the chewy labs and coats, <br />From the tentacled and the men in black, <br />Out of the twists and turns and machines, <br />Now out we walk, now to the queen we talk. </p>
<p>One alone within the gates, past the red and hat, <br />Let alone the one hundred and forty two, <br />That continue to storm, <br />Now my queen, no, I am king. </p>
<p>Now I end my ode to the groans, <br />Now I end my conquest&#8230; here. <br />See you in the next, Tokyo, Rome, or another, <br />Now I am lord, but only here, for now. </p>
