C12H22O11

Spending quality time with myself
recreational perambulation
searching for inspiration
from patisserie's display shelf
a mouthwatering scent 
unidentified source got me bent
like a retriever on the hunt
following my snout
pastries and sweets I confront 
out of this treacly trap no breakout. 

There an insecure vanilla sponge cake 
left in the showcase naked to flake 
waiting to be topped with ganache 
fused together in a culinary flash.

I found shelter under your gooey glaze 
velvety sweet blanket never ceases to amaze
your rich and plushy texture
food of fine architecture
a high-end inseparable confection 
unlike cheap manufactured oreos selection.

Don't know where I end and where you begin
your cocoa cake topping is my essential linchpin
creamy mellow garnish melts me like ice cream
 now verified I am forever on your team.

A silver knife cuts the dessert to pieces 
syrup drips into its cleaved core
fascinated voyeuristic eyes hunger for more
whipped up quite a messy neatness 
delectable slices of heavenly sweetness
able to sate the most fussy caprices.

A silver fork smears the frosting 
right onto the bready wall 
palatable ingredients willy-nilly coasting 
on the platter drunken they sprawl.

Insatiably appetizing sight 
a gastronomic work of art in the limelight 
making stomachs growl 
                                 for sloppy seconds the cutlery                                     
seconded by the crockery 
all cheerfully and unanimously howl.

Lost into your Willy Wonka factory
head spins from a sugar shock so satisfactory
unable to muster my reeling faculties
the sweet rush sending me to new realities
found pleasures at your premises supreme
spawned out of a cotton candy dream
like swimming inside a cool milkshake stream
doctors warn of high sugar diet dangers
lucky me I never accepted candy from strangers.

From here on carbohydrates you take the reins
pump more of your sugars straight into my veins
we're switching fast gears and lanes
transcend all physical boundaries and strains.

Biological hydrolysis takes effect
chemical cleavage of biomolecules
water consumed larger molecules to dissect
dulcet monomania's song overrules
separation into component parts
Glucose the aldohexose
Fructose the ketohexose
please another round of tasty tarts
even if it leaves me a shriveled raisin
with aspartame I replace and phase in.

Sweeteners so sweet and addictive
going without a feeling afflictive
compulsively titillating to the conditioned masses
brain-fed with raising agents aimed to mollify
baked crisp in pop-culture ovens who stultify
to trenders yesterday's leftovers just desserts
another bite at sugar proves them justice hurts
overhyped tints of taffy combinations
substitutes and pairing affectations
suited for vague tasting galleries
free of mundane calories.

Ha! Tooth decay
imperative visit to the dentist 
always to your dismay
poor you has been blemished 
surge of hyperactivity
ADHD plagues every activity.

Increased risk for obesity 
carbohydrate duplicity
woe betide you
lest you make straight paths and stay true
type two diabetes
go cold turkey on your wheaties.

Cold-like symptoms
pimples the sugary incomes
cough and allergies
addicts, subjects to its modalities
chronic runny noses and sinus infections
hard to abstain from glucose injections.

Croup linked to acid reflux
vacillation the problem's crux
fall asleep seemingly healthy
hit-and-run honey dreams so stealthy
awaken with sore throat and asthma 
stomach, arteries and blood plasma
clogged with caramel miasma.

Chocolate milk the popular drink
combination of dairy and sugar
like sweet beverages it does snooker
indigestible and highly acidic
potassium full highly electrolytic
retrogresses through the esophagus
howbeit trifling to the lotophagous
touches his, her, zir vocal cords
causing laryngospasm
sugar lovers can't be reasoned with words
facts don't diminish their ripe enthusiasm.
