Sukmawati Komala Poet Dramatic Monologue

A Silent Rose

leave me 
in my solitude
to enjoy the silence

let myself
float on
a peaceful river

I lend my petal’s ear
to the wave
and enjoy it’s lullaby

a moment

my longing begins to languish

the sidelong glances of beetles and butterflies

in my park’s hustle

I hope to pick up early dawn 
greet the dew 
and feel their coolness

glance at 
sea breeze
impassioned in longing

bring me back

to my garden
where I belong to

and sit there
as a silent rose
