working title: Covalent Bonding

Co...
He comes to her in the heat of the night.

She awaits

like two electrons with a shared interest,

they become one source of energy.

Valence...

It's chemical.
It's powerful.
It holds tight, exchanging bursts of electricity

as fingertips mingle with tongues

and together, they refute the world around them.

Intertwined flesh on flesh,

all that is holy and unholy,

sacred, raw, passionate.

In hushed whispers,

he tells her secrets

that flush her cheeks with blush

and make her body ache to bond with his.

This is more than science,

This is more than feeling.

This is the moment upon which

all other chemical and physical reactions will take place.

Stretching limb to limb, atom to atom

action to reaction

they

will

stumble

and

fall.

And it will be glorious.

In the fraction of a second,

they form a sigma-bonded affair –

Two like-minded elements

forming one diatomic molecule...

One flesh.

One moment of singularity

against which, nothing in the world can overcome.

With tools of symmetry,

he pushes, she pulls him in.

He withdraws, she follows.

Overlapping orbitals

lead to their cyclical motion;

forever cementing this moment

in the history of all that has been or will be.

Nothing can become what they are in this moment.

Co-valence is the the sharing of power between

two elemental forces.

It is the strongest bond known to man.

It is scientific.

It is chemical.

And yet,

It is

so

much.

More.
