It's in You

Love - this elusive phantom sought by all,

found by few,

has been living, breathing, waiting, longing,

lurking within you.

Look in others  - it lives there,

don't think their love will pay your fare.

Don't think that you can drain them dry

of sweetness

like a parasitic butterfly.

Find your love - alone, in you

feed it, nurture, hold it,

share it as you will,

then, and only then,

will you get your fill.
