It’s your saint,
But my beast,
It’s my hunger,
But your feast,
It’s your comfort,
But my shack,
I prefer distance,
While you want her back.
To you a steady shoulder,
To me a cold cheek,
You see strength,
I see weak.
To you an angel,
To me it’s callow,
You found love,
And I found shallow.
To me a shade,
To you a home,
Your place of light.
My nightmare zone.
My reality,
Is not yours,
And then again,
Yours too, not mine, of course.

It is always interesting to me, how two people can look at the same thing and see something completely different. When it involves a sibling, tolerance and acceptance are the best avenues to follow.

Flashing back and forth so vividly it almost makes the reader ache wanting to find a way to bridge the gap that seems so wide yet siblings are still so close.

Sounds like a brilliant expose of familial love and affection to me! Where would we all be without the counterbalance of the "advice we can't possibly take and don't want to hear - but which is in our best interest and always (damn it!) so right"?! Sibling love is surely something else and is just such a curious mix of (dare we say it?!) protection and self-sacrifice. I truly enjoyed this little-covered subject in this crisp and lucid write - thank you. Kate
A wicked Cajun Fairy named Robes Pierre entered the impenetrable Magical doll land of Sha Bebe. Queen Faustina, the ruler of the doll land, thought she had destroyed him, but he's back! Will the doll land survive his evil ways?
The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
It's almost Christmas. Lynn Basil is writing her last book about a secret entrance into the magical doll land of Sha Bebe that she loves so much. Bagannos have taken over the world! Lynn finally meets her dolls in real life. Can she write in a Secret
