Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJNeoXApYt

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCsYDJIWJA

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDKYuGSoa

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMN9ejbLo0

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAokoGr487

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZQ7XVO2hh

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.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6plTQFwHR2

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.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrIU6R8h02

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR3Pyf3bjc

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.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1scIeUuBaF

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLoJqGu3lr

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ88B1YDCTh

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mwJSJ1Nb2

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf9cjXvy1U

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTqrXIhEgA

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDWYWtsYhq

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ft2r3yb84

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47HFeHa7G8

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGQh2x6yLm

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqaN468rIS

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

280Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQpPMWpm7p

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
