Love Poem: Vanished

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
