The 3:10 to Yuma is a well known Western movie made first in 1957 and then in 2009. Using the analogy of a man and woman meeting on that train and conveying the love they feel for each other just through their eyes, I have written this poem, as most of my love poems, for the love I have for the woman who truly loves me. I have taken a poetic licence of quoting some famous songs here e.g. the main theme song from the Yuma movie as well as Time Passages, Year Of The Cat (Al Stewart's unforgettable hits) and Singing In The Rain by Gene Kelly. "Shane" is also the name of the central character in the movie of the same name made in 1953 starring Alan Ladd and Van Heflin. It is based upon Jack Schaefer's well known novel of the 1930s. Also note that the line "faster than fairies" has been borrowed here from Emily Dickinson's poem, written about fast moving steam engine trains of the late 18th century period. I acknowledge every poet and artiste here for enabling me to beautify my poetic inspiration with words lent by them in their own classic poetry.
