Simple Chemistry

 

Opposites attract

(Like the negative and positive ends of a polar molecule,

We are strangely attracted in a kind of dipole-dipole force).

It’s simple Chemistry:

The negative never ends up with a negative,

Which is somewhat good for you and I,

For we are two completely different people

(Perhaps similar seeming on the outside,

But we have different reactions when

Mixed with a chemical-

I explode, like sodium thrown into water,

While you have a more peaceful reaction,

Similar to that of hydrochloric acid and magnesium).

 

So maybe the attraction will stay,

Unless it is like a London dispersion force:

Only momentary, instantaneous,

Eventually dissolved.

Perhaps I should stop trying to find

The chemical formula for everything

And just go with what happens,

Flowing like a fluid

Through every gaping hole

We come to.

ooh, I like this and I never understood simple chemistry. I could edit a sentence with the best of them, though. This is a great kind of love poem.

[Andromeda]

yup, still don't understand the chemistry, but i like the poem

[Alayna]

Beautiful
