A Covalent Bond

The connection between two atoms

Is one of those between the lion and his lioness

With their love creating a most wonderful creature

A baby, indulging the fact into our heads how strong their Herculean love is

Both, protecting their diamond made in their rough

Or

The connection between two atoms

Is one of those between the battle of divorced parents

Words like kryptonite, melting away their foundation of love

Knowing that they don’t mean it but too much has been said to look back

Both, losing their grip on their own little one’s love

This is exactly how it is with atoms when sharing an electron

Or

Here’s a slight example

Two people meet

They find interest in each other's hearts, creating a bond

More than a billion miles away, but still able to communicate

With their children in between them, they share custody over them

Now, the kids begin to circle each of their parents like the Infinite sign

Like lions preying on their target, circling from a distance, a far, far, far distance

So

They feel the attraction to their kill

But never really fulfill their need to attack it

With the conjoined custody of both parents

And their children in the center of them both

They create a new family name

Which is something new, different, ingenious

And could even be compared to a

Covalent Bond

I enjoy writing things about science and in this piece, I had tried to come up with metaphors that would make sense with atoms and covalent bonds.
