Communion

Take this bread

It is my body

My heart specifically

Baked by the heat of you

Risen by your love

A golden crusty shell

Holds the tender innards

Sheltering them from outside

Only saved for you

Drink this wine

It is my blood

Flavored with your name

I have said it so many times

That it’s seeped into my lungs

Filtering the air I breathe

As it goes into the stream

Taking you through my whole body

Through the arteries and veins

Seeping into capillaries

Feeding all my organs

Coloring my flesh

Leaking from me when I bleed

Shed just for you

I offer to you this communion

The entirety of me

A sacrifice on love’s cool altar

Surrendering my name

I give in to the infatuation

The pull of you and me

I strive to make us holy

In every single moment

Of every single day
