WATER
In the abstract called liveliness,
Other recipes mere lifeless,
You solely the living soul
That turned dead abstract into living existence
You come, and with life
You go; but death you leave behind
Without you, all dried, dead like mercury
With you, it is earth
You are two hydrogen, one oxygen
That bond with shared pair
Administered by covalent priest
Two hydrogen, one oxygen of Joule, and life
The oxygen of lone electrons of pairs
Flattered, slipped and seeped
Seeped into heart, bathed with life
Key to life, the lone pairs
Odourless,
Colourless,
Tasteless,
Rider of horse 7 of pH
On horse 7 rides through my throat
Into the rails of my veins
Carries the mail of info
To duty centers though.
