The magic of vanilla stays with me, let’s explore.
Creamy rich dark and syrupy that smells like liquor
Eighty proof vodka and vanilla beans are needed
for crème de la crème vanilla extract
Who knew that in order to make Ice crème
ingredients must first be heated?
An oddity, whipping away
making it into buttercream
Color so pure and lily white
Vanilla is misunderstood
I’m a little mixed up
Aromas that bring me back
to my childhood
Vanillin scent candle so calming
Just add homemade vanilla
To anything is my conclusion
It’s a ventablack liquid
Sorry for the confusion
All apologies

*-- -- I spent my puberty pursuing Truth,
-- -- while Venus bound Adonis as a youth.*
My passions laid with Mysteries and Signs
the secret workings only hermits see,
those subtleties by which our fates align,
the ways young clocks may seed our destinies.
The vulvas that I held were hard-bound books,
vanillin pages streamed with ecstasy;
they weren't the sort that lived or died by looks,
their warmest whispers - ideologies.
My bedroom's full of volumes, silent, dry,
still waiting for that gentle touch to come,
and curve their lonely spines. But, what belies
the depth of blood? What warmer truth? There's none,
-- -- for nothing is so great as boundless love,
-- -- and, perfect bound, my books are not enough.

A Monet sunrise,
Impressionistic morning:
Vanillin seascape.

Soft vanilla sunshine,
Gleams it’s love on the horizon.
The essence of light echoes,
A pale radiance on the surface
Of tranquil waters.
The sun scribes vanillin verses to the sea,
Sonnets of light written on waters,
Romantic incantations grace the heaven’s,
Painting a love beyond the aquatic seascape.
The soft surge writes back to the sun,
Reciting in verse through the pleasant soothing waves.
The evening sky and passing clouds blush,
Witnessing the romance of the sun and sea.
In the rustic scene derived from the setting of the sun.
