#hydrogen
I was the one who burned. Lightest thing in all the universe, I carried fire in my nature. Inflammable they called me, the one who needs only a spark to become a catastrophe.. I was hunger. I was uprising. You were the one who fed the flame. Not burning yourself, but making burning possible. the silent accomplice, the arsonist behind every blaze, the one who says to fire:- “Come, I will hold the door open for you.” You sustained destruction without ever being destroyed. Two accomplices to ruin. What business did we have meeting at all? But somewhere in the proximity of violence, something neither of us had the intention for ; began to happen. you reached, I reached, and in that reaching electrons moved. Not taken. Not surrendered. Shared the only democracy that exists at the atomic level, the only transaction where both parties become something they could never be alone. A bond formed in the geometry of love. One oxygen. Two hydrogen. The chemistry of surrender producing the matter that makes the universe inhabitable. And what we made ? WATER !! That carries neither my fire nor your gift for feeding it. What we made is the very thing that walks into burning buildings and says: enough. What we made puts out what we both, separately, existed to ignite. --- This is the alchemy no one predicted; that two forces of destruction, meeting in the precise angle of willingness, could forget their natures entirely. And become the source of all life, the quencher of all flame, the oldest paradox: that what burns hottest, learns, through union, how to heal.

OH ! The paradox of Union
I was the one who burned. Lightest thing in all the universe, I carried fire in my nature. Inflammable they called me, the one who needs only a spark to become a catastrophe.. I was hunger. I was uprising. You were the one who fed the flame. Not burning yourself, but making burning possible. the silent accomplice, the arsonist behind every blaze, the one who says to fire:- “Come, I will hold the door open for you.” You sustained destruction without ever being destroyed. Two accomplices to ruin. What business did we have meeting at all? But somewhere in the proximity of violence, something neither of us had the intention for ; began to happen. you reached, I reached, and in that reaching electrons moved. Not taken. Not surrendered. Shared the only democracy that exists at the atomic level, the only transaction where both parties become something they could never be alone. A bond formed in the geometry of love. One oxygen. Two hydrogen. The chemistry of surrender producing the matter that makes the universe inhabitable. And what we made ? WATER !! That carries neither my fire nor your gift for feeding it. What we made is the very thing that walks into burning buildings and says: enough. What we made puts out what we both, separately, existed to ignite. --- This is the alchemy no one predicted; that two forces of destruction, meeting in the precise angle of willingness, could forget their natures entirely.

What a ******* ******* you really ******* are. If ***** were made from hydrogen, you'd be a ******* star! Fuel for ******* hatred, Burning without end. Ensconced by ******* vacuum, because you've got no ******* friends.

Friendship is like A diapole diapole interaction Two different Entities Positive and negative Attracted to each other Best friendship Is like a hydrogen bond Still a diapole diapole but stronger Only possible in the presence of A hydrogen Someone in the relationship Able to keep it afloat A London dispersion Force Is like a pleasant acquaintance Someone you get along with But no strong emotional ties To hold you there Just Small talk An ion diapole bond Is like A difficult relationship Opposites attract But you’re bonded So strongly ... That eventually one Of you just starts To tear the other apart Like salt in water

Intermolecular Forces
Hydrogen, a gas Fusing in the night sky stars As we watch in awe. Helium, such a Noble gas, lightly lovely, Filling our balloons. Our first alkali Lithium, lightest metal, Stabilizing moods. Beryllium, a Metal that makes alloys which Are strong and don't spark. Do your laundry, friends, And experience boron: Borax detergent.

Atomic Haikus: Hydrogen to Boron
Hydrogen Cyanide I have no idea how it feels to receive what I deserve from you, no memory, only faded dreams. Seething over what I was denied, I became ill from your heavy, searing dose of hydrogen cyanide, And life lost its meaning because I never learned to pour this love I carry inside all over myself.
