    Little Girls and Gunmen

    As if to meet a girl


    With ringing ears


    And silly fears


    Of becoming a real woman





    I knew in the beginning


    I'd lose my fear


    Forget the tears


    And think not of my ending





    To shoot a pistol


    With grips of pearl


    And dreams of becoming the outlaw


    You'd snatch the pistol from its holster


    Like an eagles claw


    And they'd say,"There goes the gunman"





    To look at all my night dreams


    While lying in sheets white


    I'd wonder why our best dreams


    Only come at night


    And how all of the worst things


    Never come to light...

    I'm not sure if at least, many of those worst things do not come to light in this new age of fleeting human graciousness, and social moralities turning into chaos... Humanity at times, loses it's direction and sense of living in peace where wanton political power ambitions turn whole societies to the dark side... But, you give that notion a brief respite here, and makes this quite a nice write...

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
