As Great As Willing



In my memory not a bit so vacant,
In my longings, not a pot so dormant,
In my dreams not anything so sleeping,
In my thoughts, oh nothing so killing,
As a bulk, all wonders so running,
Know not a thing to salve all cunning,
Have no meaning, I steer so funny,
All and all, well happy, smile and smile so smoothly.
My days all go, all crazy,
No one waits so lazy.
Calling from my soul, I waive it waiting,
Then and there I grow as great as willing.

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…
