			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I say to no one in general nor directly, I love myself; then a thought occurred, &#8220;Am I boasting?&#8221;<br />
So, I asked another, &#8220;Hey, Am I boasting when I proclaimed &#8220;I love myself?&#8221;<br />
He looked at me as to sized me up and ask me, &#8220;what you think?&#8221;<br />
I answered, &#8220;that why I asking you. Am I boasting was my immediate thought after the statement?&#8221; He look around the cafe we was in and excuse himself, then joined a table with an attracive female sitting alone with no other words then &#8220;excuse me,&#8221; while pointing at her.<br />
I was sure at that time for certainty that that question shouldn&#8217;t be asked again. I then given a quick thought about the statement and then felt a little happiness physically swelling within me.<br />
I then loudly said in that public place, &#8220;I love myself!&#8221;<br />
After that it didn&#8217;t matter what others nor I would conceived of the statement. The statement was one of those nice feeling emotion, which is a life of one&#8217;s own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Untitled (so far.) by Geo E. Burks</p>
<p>Was that her I was thinking of.<br />
Why should not I think of her?<br />
She cared for that role,<br />
The one in her life I was.<br />
But she couldnt had me,<br />
And I was contented as that.<br />
Not as my pride nor my failure.<br />
I loved her as my preference.</p>
<p>She did tried though.<br />
To make me her more,<br />
To make more of me.<br />
I was already all that,<br />
All that that had need.<br />
From known pride and failures.<br />
Remaking our preferences.</p>
<p>Yet, she wanted more of me,<br />
The more she can entrusted as me,<br />
Which isn&#8217;t not from me,<br />
And all that because I was not had,<br />
By a wanton desire mistaken as a need.<br />
For I knew my pride and my failures,<br />
By preferences that are known as I.</p>
<p>I did need to be that role for her,<br />
Her friend, her lover and her strength.<br />
The one who cared by caring.<br />
The one who love by sheltering.<br />
The one she can call reliant and loyal,<br />
But she or I can&#8217;t had this,<br />
Nor remake any of this.<br />
These are my pride and my failures,<br />
All done as my preferences.</p>
<p>This is why I was thinking of her.<br />
Looking at that cage&#8217;s latchless door,<br />
I made for us as our togetherness.<br />
To make all that as what I had her for.<br />
Knowing pride can easily marred this,<br />
And either of us can easily fail this.<br />
Fail that that was not meant to be had,<br />
yet built by our preferences for our betterment.<br />
A betterment for both of us as one&#8217;s loves.</p>

<p><strong>Thank You For Letting Us Know We Aren&#8217;t Alone Feeling.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Purity By Geo. E. Burks</em></strong></p>
<p>You, songbirds&#8217; sweet touch wells life anew.</p>
<p>In my mind, you can redefine love&#8217;s steadiness, too.</p>
<p>Find anymore love forms in my kudo?</p>
<p>To do me better with that form again as true.</p>
<p>Tears I hid well, You shame me there, too.</p>
<p>As my culture&#8217;s most high, and there I praise you.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let me, let this fail, for what I do!<br />
For the failures will always have me alone to show as dues.</p>
<p>This I can placed when my balance is made anew.</p>
<p>Our heart&#8217;s strong commonarities impressed as art by you.</p>
<p>Thank You, for never allowing the thesis we be as a neglect for dues.</p>
<p>As a world under one sun, our skys resounds by the harvest of our common felt lieus.</p>
<p>Always true as of our natural capacity for refining what we crude.</p>
<p>For these refineries we grew to be the reforms our uniqueness as infinitive new!!</p>
<p>Consistently since we first noticed of you songbirds&#8217; justifying and maturing my living life moods.</p>
<p>With your airborne felt flights of everlasting passages thru and above my estate&#8217;s refuges.</p>
<p>You are very much of my earth&#8217;s evolving sustances arising reinforcing my humanly soul true.</p>
<p>With signals liberating the whole spirit from points within that are uninformed subdued.</p>
<p>To reproof us as an always and again as we love and this is why I will evermore always love you.</p>
<p>Thank you for the sheltering and nurturing of our distinct hearts&#8217; life-giving cultural rooted muses</p>
<p>Your love and honor does enriches my country&#8217;s symbolic blues!!</p>
<p>With with evermore XOX(S) THANK YOU!!!</p>
<p>From A Fan Who Happily Dwelling In Your Snafus Named George.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I let him mourn too long,<br />
It was my mistake,<br />
I thought I would be generous,<br />
Understanding, forgiving,<br />
Be not letting him forget so easily.</p>
<p>They all told him<br />
To move on and find another<br />
I felt I was the only one<br />
Who understood,<br />
That there would be no other<br />
Like her, for him.</p>
<p>So I said to Bill it was okay<br />
Okay to feel sorry and to cry<br />
If he wanted to stay alone,<br />
Sleep in and not go out,<br />
Fine by me, I understood.</p>
<p>He stayed in and never came out,<br />
Unless it was with a bottle in his hand<br />
Of something strong smelling<br />
With a burning taste,<br />
All I can ever take to make the pain<br />
Surrender and go away, he said,<br />
Between sips and gulps.</p>
<p>I told him that it was now time to stop mourning,<br />
But the dirge was still playing<br />
The ladies of the house were still screaming<br />
And Bill had only just begun.</p>
