Vanished

Vanished

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Hidden love in the wilderness

"

Vanished

Startled by the door knock thud

Boy and girl cling to each other tight

Intruders will have to wait or go away

Secrets must be kept safe

Lovers smile with indifference

Must be some thing other than a sound

Off and outer in the distance heard

Innocence is so romantically delightful

Remote as ignorance is to bliss

Should interruptions be tolerated in the wild

Love is too important they surmise

Eyes wide opened by sun light

Sounds echo again but louder

By brass against aged wood

In the blink of an eye lovers rise

Beneath the hollow hidden shed

Under so much green covered canopy

So thick it can not be seen

The bed is safer than you think

Some intruder knocks again

Determined to get in

Locks were made for honest people

Invaders will have to wait or go away

Secrets must be kept safe

As they vanish in the sheets

Dismiss the intrusion as an illusion

Something wild, strange to nature

Love is more important than the truth

As wet as rain that came and went

Loved these lines-
"Locks were made for honest people

Intruders will have to wait or go away

Secrets must be kept safe

As they vanish in the sheets

Dismiss the intrusion as an illusion"
