Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7wprF3k1l

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHeVMGPGb

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwwAykUP23

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjoorjIXAh

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdoyzT4x5f

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEvxaM2beb

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.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn6dbtK2Wb

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.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyY9vqHOG

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AHdTlY9VN

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.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wprbg6sMS

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WR5Dj4WIH

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdlwUltYGQ

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhElVR2myMN

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZGNe4a6r

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW235NnfTka

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsckpqp9bb

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VbbehNqUA

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUYTidrpia

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeixqoxxEjF

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdx2b6OQht

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1QeqPpSNg

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
