The body and the blood.
Your Body and Your Blood.
I approach in desperation
Too full of need to hold back.
And as I consume
I am consumed.
Tasting Your broken body–
The blood,
It is absorbed
Into my being
And I am broken and absorbed
into Your Body.
Their eyes hold me,
Hands accept,
Hearts embrace.
We are ravished by the Beloved.
As You are broken and consumed
For me,
I am broken and consumed
For them.
