Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS2RiOVS1f

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B6PQgbqZT

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyUDeIRKw9

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FRT4EHTjM

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQ6E4hPVx

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrx7Lo5Mu2

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.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCCqEDHMsU

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.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIUIbykHQw

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSyuQsuW0S

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.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSsIaOBlhz

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm7J1i0Rob

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVLt9bs8IL

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4srjuJ50ct

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwJPeAGp5f

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ax9wKQE7H

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD20Z8aRYh

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrW3LWMADP

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGBlqugNM

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9eb9Hms6f

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4LJgsjIEG

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

170Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdIDHgK1Ig

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
