Quiet Overtakes Me In The Late Afternoon

quiet overtakes me in the late
afternoon where i watch the horizon

plunder solitude from my thoughts
that turn to you and the instant

where you first crossed my path too shy
to mention that the light i saw

reflected in your eyes was merely
an illusion of my own longings which now

quietly trace a smile to my lips
that you have never heard say the words

we both know all too well
