Butterscotch Icecream

You are my dear, decadent desert,

My summer-thyme delight; Starlight.

Tonight’s your night, for you I write.

Radiant glow, fuzzed herbal hue.

My dear butterscotch icecream.

 

Sore arms churn thick, slick froth - Sauterne butter.

Gentle spread melts, dowsed in sweet, sugared innocence,

rich scents, then sits.

6 years pass quickly, youthhood gone;

My black swan, a third complete.

 

You, sauterne butter, mix with scotch -

Fermented, demented, invented to inebriate.

Golden brew dissociates reality -

Spinny, fuzzy, dizzy, funny… gone.

Go on again, dear fawn, 6 years pass,

Pant for the water, two-thirds complete.

 

12 years as toll to adolescence;

Icy, creamy, dreamy, element prepared.

Scoops of soft serve mix with years past - Angsty era.

Seductive spirits, beautiful brew.

 

At last, my summer-thyme delight dances with rhyme.

The lime-light shines; ten and eight.

Todays the date, stuff immaturity away.

Make room for the adulthoods’ good,

Scooped generously into a bowl

Shuttled and entrapped by me,

Melting, streaming, gleaming and freezing.

You awesome angel!

My pleasure supreme -

My dear butterscotch icecream.
