Sukmawati Komala Poet Dramatic Monologue

My Boat Sailed Away

My Boat sailed away

dark clouds collided
above the vast ocean
waves hit
strongly urged

my boat
sailed away from me
led away
precious treasure

a special heart

turbulence wind
so powerful
ready to roll
the banner on a mast

a white banner
beautifully embroidered
knitted with
love

my favorite boat
sailed away

vast oceans
can’t be
be measured

strong expectation
the captain
remain victorious 
to guide my boat
sailing safely

develop the white banner
embroidered with love
till longing bring you back

meet these eyes
who never tired
waiting for the boat

carve the sea level
and sail back
