Inseparable Poem by Karen Touzalin

Beloved, steal me away
to your secret hiding places

Let thoughts of me peacefully dwell
secure in the layers of your mind,
where your dreams lay, far away from the world
Untainted and carefree

May I dance in your ear, beloved?
singing songs and sweet nothings to you all day
I carry your words like cymbals on my feet
and your kisses
like castanets
in my hands


Conceal me in the honest corners of your heart,
Protect me
as your greatest
treasure
for I am yours

Envelope me in your bed,
tucked away under the cover of your arms
when I am weary of the world and the glare of reality
until my heart beats
in unison with yours
until there is no more me
and there is no more you
until we become
inseparable.
