Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39mPjVoOoQ

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD1NeT7u0T

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOreGOaNFG

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm3fjvar9I

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5eCushOlM

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqnEiiHO4G

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.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iPc5c6WJ9

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.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTQ2qakKZF

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWOfNb4FWb

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.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8Us8WyGr

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsymAHtWBs

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYuDCuxHwE

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimsjFxvn2X

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd9Dvi5tXP

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZFHZegyE4

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zYk1hmHra

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9uwmQJZMv

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT1ZBzMvpT

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkASjk3aIy

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVpP8ccVxz

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9maTUSZ1tI

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
