Kim Van Breda Poet Rhyme

The Day Before the Day

THE DAY BEFORE THE DAY
(Grappling with suicide)

you just have to remain 
being alive; I suppose
and not to
die

with the trashed out
claptraps; but to gasp
out a prayer
cry

to persist while forming
rainbows; from tunnels
where demons
lie

as nought will miss the
substance; of hearts
sojourned last
sigh

Timothy Hicks October 17, 2014 at 7:53 PM Poignantly written! To form rainbows where demons lie is such a powerful image. I can't imagine the feelings of considering suicide... but you paint them vividly. Kim Van Breda October 18, 2014 at 3:11 AM Thanks Tim Its been ages since I have posted anything on the soup. Was pleasantly surprised to wake up this morning and find my poetry page had been visited.
