Eucharistic/Marital Poem

I want to share another poem I wrote as an undergraduate in college; this one is one of the poems I published in the Franciscan University of Steubenville’s literary magazine. I gave no title to this poem:

Bonded by Your Flesh and Blood
My sisters and brothers and I gather together
We—the ring around Your finger
The bride of Your bedchamber
Beam with joy
The beating drums
Within the walls of our temples
Within the enclosure of our ribs
Pound out Your praises
Dancing—we twirl together
Together forever
Forever as one
The ring around Your finger
The bride of Your bedchamber
You are our blood
Your blood is light
Lightning is our blood
Twirling we dance around
Adorned we dance for You
We are the bride of Your bedchamber
The Most High God takes delight
Yes! You delight


Thanks for reading and your prayers.
