Carolina Terbush

locked up inside
my feelings, I can't show, for
rejection I fear
...

his eyes peer within
hard to control my own thoughts
be still my heart... rest
...

little boy, my joy
sleeping soundly, so peaceful
tiny lids flickering
...

A total lack of trust
Because of past hurts
Cut me down so low,
Drowning in my lonliness
...

blonde hair, ice blue eyes
my bitty early surprise
two months too soon, son
...

I pull away but
do not leave me, hold on tight
for me, I want you to fight
...

seven pounds one ounce
darling dormant daughter, love
little head, bow worn
...

my giant newborn
one month early, ten thirteen
jowls I can't resist
...
