February Poetry Contest - Where We Bloom

Among the flowers,

I feel at home.

When life's just too much

it's here I roam.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt4VVkBLW6

Alone and free with blooms so sweet,

I almost don't hear the sound of feet.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D1VPiJrTq

I jump, for behind me

I see another girl,

her amber eyes nervous

and her dark hair curled.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwL69qdmqH

She waves to me,

passing over a smile,

and asks if she can

sit here a while.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gkGMHKl1v

I'm tentative to answer,

for this is my place,

but still I move over

and give her some space.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkkSaf7S5I

For hours we sit in

comfortable silence

away from the world

in a field of roses and violets.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nas11wvA8

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.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GOg8Gmpak

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.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1YaWCjJ7Q

In a wistful tone,

she denies my request,

she has a husband at home

and going home is best.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXq5iPb7T4

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.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n1cfx45Ao

Still the next day, she visits

and the day after that,

staying longer and later

each time, to either be quiet or chat.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qpTMqSqgo

The seasons turn as always,

our flowers wilting from cold,

as I watch my heart feels heavy,

but she pulls me into her hold.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iSpwFNYdY

"I won't stop seeing you,

flowers or not,

their view is less important

than meeting you in this spot."

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzo818pTC

"But your husband-"

I start, but she brings me closer,

her lips on my forehead and

her hand on my shoulder.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxU8S9mA4h

"Didn't you hear me?"

She asks in a whisper.

"I Like being with you,

plus your a much better listener.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04Er8NA2E7

I've not told you before,

but he is not who I love.

I was forced to betroth him,

pushed to it, shoved.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhdgln7oAa

He doesn't love me either,

he wanted no wife,

but it was either we marry

or risk our parents' strife!"

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphjb7VuYBT

At her confession,

I squeeze her in my arms,

not caring of consequences,

my mind hazy with stars.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZX4EcXcgE

I press a kiss to her lips,

tears staining my cheeks,

how long could she have been

wanting me?

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqh8CVp5Jt

This is wrong, isn't it?

We are both women.

How can she love me if

I'm driving her to sinning?

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1tmITcpMl

That night, she doesn't go back

but lays in the grass,

as dawn's light

over our bodies will cast.

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uTma7XyhG

This is the beginning,

that is verified,

but one day I hope our relationship

won't be to this meadow confined.
