Dearest _____ parts 1&2

1
With every sipped moment you draw nearer.
	Take the swallow.
Reveal your love and make it clearer.
	I don’t follow.
My heart’s emptiness saddens the cheerer.
	Fill the hollow.
It’s painful throb excitens the jeerer.
	It beat upon Apollo.

2
It beat the poems from his dress.
I eat his words of love and bliss.
The pencil makes a stealthy hiss,
As I write them down to seal with a kiss,
And send them so I won’t be missed.

I send my enveloped feelings abroad.
	Check your mail.
With others it will trod,
	The anticipant trail.
