No Blank page to be left No blank stare to be had Be yourself… No, it’s not my attempt at English Language poetry, far from it. It’s just one of my favourite past-times: play on words. Words, letters, comas and full stops are there to be played with. I do not know much about grammar,…

Castle in the clouds
My Imaginary Friend grew up to be me… I think My Princes Iliza (this is exact spelling of the name I made up) has been with me as long as I can remember being able to form sentences in my head. Forever))). My Princess lives in the castle in the clouds, has a wide variety of magical…
Bliss you Marriage
I am blessed. I’ve had an epiphany. I know now, what is Epitome of married life is. No, it’s not a house-husband. I’d kill myself if that was the case. This is my step-dad. My daughter’s one and only grandad. He’s been long-haul truck driver most of his life. He loves fishing and poker, comedies and Russian…
If you lie to me
Sweet Little Lies are deep, sweet and a bit tangy drink that we’d rather get drunk on… They are sweet. They are pretty. They are an escape from reality, from truth that is ugly, from truth that hurts. This Saturday morning I conducted a quick research in my own kitchen. I’ve asked my parents, my daughter…

The one in English is ‘live and learn’. It basically means, we never stop learning. As long as we live, breathe, think, feel or…

Но “своего” я уже давно ничего не пишу. Раньше я писала постоянно. Когда мне было больно я писала особенно много и,…
