Analysis of Coloured the shadows?!



Through out the pathways, struggle, struggle!
Terrible, terrible, so vexatious, strongest!
For the struggle, for the struggle, struggle?
And in the struggle, in the struggle, struggle?
But oh, I am one, born to write, write, right!
Born for writing, writing, no rewrite!
Born with writing,writing, all won!
One oh writing, writing and born!
For what all this baffoonery oh quick?
For what raising so much bad luck?
For what, so become callous, all hearing, hearing?
Why turn ill-willed, so knowing, nearing?
Not so remember, nothing filthy?
Upto remember, all so worthy?
Then so remembered, nothing so wise!
So remember, oh very good and nice!
Nothing known, to the top, top-
Stands, so revolving, revolving, no tap,
All revolving, revolving!
One revolving, revolving!
I, so sat, not knowing anything-
I, so sat, not saying anything,
I so sat, not fearing, fearing-
I,so sat, as many things, nearing,
What so told to me?
What so told to you?
What so told to us?
What so told in between?
Elephant has an elephant head!
For a thousand,leopards, leopard heads!
For the horse, horse, so horse head!
And the last one mule, oh a mule head!
Coloured, coloured, coloured, the shadows?
Fragrance, fragrance, fragrance to shadows?
Virtue, virtue, virtue to shadows?
Have any truth, any truth to the shadows?

William John

I am born and brought up in Kerala state, in India. In Kerala, Thrissur city is my native place and now I am residing at Kadavoor village in Ernakulam district.I am a senior lawyer at The High Court of Kerala. Literary talents all dwelt in my blood from my very birth itself. From, while studying in the primary classes, I wrote stories, dramas and poems in Malayalam.While studying in high school classes I wrote stories and poems in English. Then it grew in me as an endless blessing craze. I do write in English as well. I do write stories, novels, dramas and verses. I have written more than twenty thousand poems in Malayalam, about twenty novels and more plays.In English, now I have completed more than seven hundred poems. I think, very soon that it will grow to at least a five thousand. I am so much pleased and thankful to those nice friends who go through my poems all over the world and shower the rain of horripilate congratulations. Yours,William John(Email: adv.williamjohn@gmail.com)blog: http://leopardmom1.blogspot.in/facebook fan page : http://www.facebook.com/PoetWilliamJohn?ref=ts more…
