Love, Molecular Style

We have a covalent bond, you and I.

We are complete and wholly-formed atoms on our own,

but as we share our electrons –

the one you supply,

the one I provide –

our shells become connected and stable;

and together we are no longer merely two atoms…

we are a glorious molecule.

Autumn Winds

The trees rustled,
the leaves tussled,
my love muscled
her way through brisk Autumn winds.
