Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUlUABAdLN

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXnbouLEsq

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqcUCQ2Oqr

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwCUEe2me4

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDmNn0xFXm

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffqMxOonMq

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.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMsJyloXpk

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.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFFi7dVjH4

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EaJGGdIFx

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.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lpfHruSql

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5NXBPfNtZ

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa56al2GiQW

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTBau45KB3

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20LO3eoBG

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtb9h9o6c4

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQrEvOaAAz

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTdGaCWSow

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh28IsEokwj

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnWrCdvbtx

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8CJ8E2Jjn

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

195Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW99dhIVDXf

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
