What is your interpretation of this poem that I wrote?

Question:Vanilla; Perhaps Chocolate

Liquid extracts infused in lives
And dredged across the blades of knives
Tinctured in a cloying blend
To taste and taste and taste again

‘Til all that’s left on lonely shelves
Is white-on-white shadow of selves
Discerning tongues wont to savor
Hidden spice of unknown flavor

Menu refined for lover’s ballots
Dark liqueurs to moisten palates
Mixed about in novel method
A cocoa swirl most intrepid

Swapping time and secrets hoarded
Recipe deemed delightfully sordid
Is decadent twist enough to sate
From time to time across your plate?

uhh

is it about life sort of? and peoples' personalities...?

((edit: it's really freaking good - no lie, not like other crappy poems i've read on here....if i could just figure it out, haha...need to go get my handy dictionary))

sounds like its about food chocolate or vanilla syrups

First verse sounds like you're describing blood. Rest of it has some good phrases but doesn't really go anywhere.

M-m-m-m-m, sounds like a candy specialist and the lovely descriptions of the trade.
Ahhhh, sweeeeet yummies to savor and taste, where "discerning tongues wont to savor" and create new flavors and do novel things with all the ingredients.......... the big kitchen of life where we combine and create and sample bit by bit all the varieties and tastes.
Oh great now I have to find a chocolate somewhere in this house!!! :O))))

Very well written, Iambic Pantameter, right? But that aside, it doesn't seem to have much direction, at first it seems like a metaphor on 'the human condition' but after a while... it just gets a little tedious with all the talk of candies. It made me hungry.
