    Your skin like dawn -- simile for something new, bright, and amazing.

    Mine like musk -- simile for what he desires maybe... Musk being his protective shield that blocks his psychology...

    One paints the beginning

    of a certain end -- The person he is referring to believes that maybe a meeting can start something special though, the poet knows it wont last

    The other, the end of a

    sure beginning --- He may be referring to that shield here... that he refuses to start something he knows if doomed...

    Anyways... that's my guess. Its a paradox, and outlook on time between the poet and his other. Both have different perspectives on how something will turn out in the future...
