For those unfamiliar with welding, a bead is the seam formed when you weld two metal pieces together. Weaving is a motion you do with the electrode, to insure both sides of the two parts melt enough to mix and form the bead. The puddle is the molten metal formed as you weld, where the two pieces melt under the arc of the electrode, and form a little lake or puddle as the melted metal melts together, and as you weld, this is what forms the bead, as it cools. I realize this poem, without those explanations, probably would only be interesting to other welders, so......
I strike a bright, blinding, arc,
Brighter than the surface of the sun,
You and I exchange playful hot sparks,
Just as hot, when e'er the day is done,
Weaving our love together,
In the puddle of our molten hearts,
Joining the two together,
In a bead stronger than our separate two parts

Would it hurt to remove every "the" in the piece?
Read it aloud without them and see what you think. Also, the poem would still be intact if you removed the "two" in the last line.
Welder is a hot metaphor!
