Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg1Ua15nTn

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDrJj0erFl

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjwpgnOTXY

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzgpECUuMG

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRzgYQiZ2e

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezapjB4q1A

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.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOFYZakg0H

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.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSJHzDRwaT

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQa9vDPWjC

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.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkOtl0pvrP

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOzXiRyxBo

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkheAfxd0aP

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQyotAygs6

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW86Q3SuhzG

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8Phhi5d4

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gve5jDEHo

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpy39RyU0F

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUvPfW91ko

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qaKr33Hx8

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrAjKe1eEF

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPhZQNcAY8

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
