Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNPokTqA8i

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbyh9Lg5I

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnIFxxXe7D

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqCsxCw9mJ

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW2E962mEs

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnimYEgp3a

The day turns to dusk as

the sky paints itself red,

and the girl moves to get up

but I tell her to stay instead.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXcUhcQFQQ

I've never felt as comfortable as I had with she,

not with man nor woman

but only in her company

I crave to be.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RlgbLL2CP

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziFgjXkeZQ

My chest feels heavy but

I nod and bid her farewell,

for how would this angel stay here

when she has a husband with which to dwell.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aKY4CUgmQ

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O0OvQoIEM

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bXxBqNkI

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7W2q05s6o

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqgO6zFWjY

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0p1fm5DYK

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlGFebTEJA

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI9oIkaSZh

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEPlvnIXot

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1cLnY63Qr

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKrQ17GAv3

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoau3cv8IvU

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
