Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6suiaiT6hX

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3o5fddjMP

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdMmcmvrz0

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7OO1nqn8I

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg01s4pCskY

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxTs3MOuOP

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.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxZlbfScLO

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.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkJgt8DJyt

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Z2YYPHAF

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.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl3BbU9lBR

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFFwhXVrBK

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf6rR8SSpq

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EyOd3KhIW

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwS8OCKf0D

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdOHnyHKtW

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVxSKCDI4X

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3PYzC2bxh

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqexeKRhhFO

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9mLucfORv

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqxa6Hnp27

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

241Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwexogVfYWL

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
