assent to a silent consent:

into one's being:

let me hear your words
as you would speak to him
to your thoughts
as you think of him

let me have a glimpse of your life as you live for him
let me have a glimpse of
who you really are

let me listen to your heart as it beats for him

let me listen as i live my life
in silence


unto another's:

let me listen as it silently beats
let me listen and let me live, again, my life
in silence

in silence, let me listen
listen, to the other murmured and hushed thundering of your
unsilent heart's caged muted beats
