My photo
London, United Kingdom
The old faded picture in the profie- that isn't me... It is Anastasia- Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova... quite a mouthful, isn't it? Her story - the fabled Grand Duchess of the erstwhile Russia-apparently the only survivor who escaped the violent mass murder of her family in 1918 in the Bolshevic Revolution... Her daring occasionally exceeded the limits of acceptable behavior. And why her? Its her name- Anastasia: "the breaker of chains" or "the prison opener". And another meaning of her name is "RESURRECTION" Means there would never be an END

Being Mum

Breasts sagging 
Stomach scarred
Body scarred for life
To give life
Hands dry 
Heels cracked
Skin unshaven 
Hair unkempt 
Bones in pain

Yet..

You cuddle my sagging stomach 
And shower your love
untouched by the notions 
Of this world.
I looked at my hands
I said “Ugly!”
You said “Mum! 
Your hands are lovely”

Body depleted but
Heart full.
