Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6YWwST7eI

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdYq0lznlh

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZuyGpEue6

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkCxEymbXT

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGSRsPdBn

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMsF2Qz6Pk

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.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFQLpt6KgY

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.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDDi0MRBOw

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfyi9l4MWj

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.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeEwoM79Gg

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt097p0tDvH

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3yN5ba6ZR

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PjpPxc9Uc

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3xYnRUQJe

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlpdZrdSuz

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzChvGWtdPE

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx4RCXGldC

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbDiZ9kRsJ

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDBMGVcl8

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCh6abw5Wa

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErd6mWUUTh

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
