Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlDKwmLAc6

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPKEY6kKUU

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUpSaTQX36

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpHVQ4RCjM

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtptmdOAUCH

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpZnQtREEr

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.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4GO2F4wEi

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.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsfFEe6RIn

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhFyNR1CgS

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.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOGLVrBLju

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSN4geKSZ9

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Z6vWF308

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqVk6m5YgE

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnNtXJ18EF

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSeSuR9UO9

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXwUan0H3S

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPW14uxlhl

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXqFFEuQWI

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBINJYuA24

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSR7qXLqyv

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63iLH1dL3w

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
