Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWta9ji5UVK

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1YDmuWOyJ

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja8ESnlrka

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrkgxkDooQ

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WBuJtW3YD

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OyC0VRomu

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.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlTz9GJNxD

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.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkMLdBu7Oh

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI1YRszmaL

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.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaSMajNpvP

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAF9g6uOvp

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRVQeBimqq

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HNUDQbZWN

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35H9HyVoEB

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjMZRHsRrN

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOS1YJvpLY

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpppAq9tuah

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgoamPDMji

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2H10A8xWw

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbgmPsiXH

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

256Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKT96EMHUm

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
