Few drops of Nectar

Love That Elusive Ephemeral Butterfly 
That sometimes comes to stay and 
Sometimes flies away too soon

Did it come and perch on your cheek
Or snuggle in your heart
And stayed or been pried out
By hapless word or action

Did it return or forever vanish
Or did it peer in unasked for 
From an unthought of place

Did it come and go or
Did it come to settle
Did you make a choice
Did you even try 

Did you feel a stubborn need to
Hold on to a few drops of nectar 
Whilst you still live your humdrum life
Were you ready to risk it all

Or did you want to maintain 
Balance and not upset anything
Too much. And curtailed and
Compartmentalized emotions for various parties

Duties and various kinds of bonds.
And did you try to make peace
Within yourself rather than hanker for more
=To be content with a few drops of nectar
And no more.
