in silence i love

quietly, as the sun sets
so does your heart hide in the folds of your love
waiting for silence

for in that loudest voice
...i scream, yes, 

only you can hear
i am yours.
i am yours.

and in the same heartbeat,
i let go,
i'll be gone.

PASSING TIME

by Maya Angelou

Your skin like
dawn

Mine like musk
One paints the
beginning

of a certain end.
The other,

the end of a sure beginning.
