Science poems -- The Amorous Molecule

Intimately intertwined, we shift, we slide,
we rise, tilt, roll, and twist.
I know, my love, that our embrace
completes the helix. We're aligned
in opposite directions, just
the way I like it -- darling, yes!

With you I found my major groove;
the bonds we share perfect our pairing,
and together
we preserve our secrets.
If ever one of us should falter,
the other yet shall stand,
a sweet abiding strand,
and love may still surprise us
catalyze us
make us whole.
