Graphene
If she desires
then her fingers
can touch
me across any ocean boundary
and leap
through an empty sky
to the matter
of this distant orbit.
No membrane
can halt
singular energy
from igniting
cascading reactions
to become
the most powerful
force yielded by humans,
able to break bonds
and reform them
into beauty
absent of design.
-Robert L. Jackson III

True love like graphene has amazing properties - stronger than steel, almost perfectly conductive, almost transparent, diamagnetic and oscillating between stability and instability ;-) Great take on the prompt and the chemistry metaphor quite apt!
