The pieces are there! The shambles after years of dedication, The chains of the wonder that was a prison, The pieces are there. The strain of memories, The fights, the hilarity, The struggles and relief, The hopes for your combined future beliefs, The pieces are there. Slowly but surely they mend back, With scars both […]
Under the shade of a weeping willow tree In a secluded corner where no-one can see Half-obscured by branches drooping low I take a deep breath, and I let myself go I close my eyes and block out the stress Sigh softly at the breeze’s gentle caress I dig my fingers into the dirt and […]
A dragon did not crawl on its belly in front of its enemies, begging for their help. A dragon did not vow to rid the world of infidels, and then invite them into its home. A dragon did not flee its land in the middle of the night like a criminal. A dragon burned everything […]
I have always been a dreamer. I set goals for myself. I look at things and try to imagine what is possible and then hope to surpass those boundaries. Instead of going for a song, I decided to bring Michael Jackson on eLitere through his 1988 book, Moonwalk. Usually, I’m not exactly interested in autobiographies, […]

I love this book just as much as I did last year. Perhaps even more, if that’s possible. As far as I know, the English version hasn’t been published yet. Until then and before I write about some other stories by Oliviu Crâznic, I figured it would be a good idea to turn my attention […]
Life, believe, is not a dream So dark as sages say; Oft a little morning rain Foretells a pleasant day. Sometimes there are clouds of gloom, But these are transient all; If the shower will make the roses bloom, O why lament its fall? Rapidly, merrily, Life’s sunny hours flit by, Gratefully, cheerily, Enjoy them […]
Why? Because I love Rumplestiltskin and I absolutely adore Belle.
