Analysis of song for joanna
my wanting
like splashes of waters
bubling in my eyes
like coursing river
framed rapidly
through the phrenzy of love
yes, how shall i complain
after a capacious form
in the course of giving
alas, every arrow
that is discharged
across the grieving heart
with a music piercing
look at him, feeling handsome
full of erotic enamoured
oh dear Almighty
betwixt me,
there are thousand
varieties of heart
makes the one i yearned for
sing the notes of wanting
here, in my quiet garden
