There are five types of balloons in this world:
the kind that floats,
the kind that don’t,
the kind that once did,
the kind that will one day,
and the kind that doesn’t care.

3.
A child strolls along with a balloon in hand,
attached to a string.
A child lets go of the balloon while trying to traverse monkey bars.
A child cries at her green friend floating away, knowing that it will soon pop and fall into the ocean for some sea turtle to choke on.
A child gets a red one.

A friend came up to me and gave me a bouquet of roses.
I gave him a bouquet of balloons.

A balloon is like a balloon and nothing else.

Little Blue Balloon;
little blue balloon so shiny and happy
as blue as blue can be I take you
everywhere with me.
Carrying you so tightly
in hope that you do not float away
my little blue balloon don't you ever go away.
I need to see you everyday cause when I do
the whole world seems bright and wonderful.
Time is going bye and you float less and less
one day I notice that now you drag on the ground.
so now I carry you around and you get smaller and smaller I wake up one day to see that you are all gone.
my dear blue balloon I know that some things do end but in my memory you will be there, you will be there
forever in my heart. ~❤
About a child and their Balloon

I left him like a child lets go of a balloon.
Untying the tiniest of tight knots from my imprinted wrists, knowing I could not take him where my travels would.
My finger tips shook upon releasing him,
but **** did he soar on the wings of the wind.

Balloons

Love is like a balloon
You love it
You love to play with it
Look at it

But when it pops
It's different
It's gone
It startles you

Red balloons* litter the floor,
Out numbering the pure ones before,
What once was *white
now
Discoloured
Violated
Shrouded
Float from view
Each a moment of life
As the balloons once white
Now no more,
For all is stained red
Crimson,
Droplets,
Dried
Upon white like a tear,
It slides down marking
Before greeting the floor,
Expelled air, ruptured by the
Violence,
Anger,
Death
Still lingers, an after image
Of the life that was here before,
Red balloons float leaving their imprint
Splatter effect upon floor & wall
Cold eyes stare seeing both
White
&
Red
Balloons
Clinging around this fallen life,
Where white once was now all
That floats is the stench of death
Red balloons huddle around,
Each carrying a moment with them
When life became death &
White was scarred by crimson,
Life is static, still, for death  now floats above the floor

full of nothing
and full of colours
are those balloons
ignorant they jump around
not knowing where to go next
waiting to be bursted

full of independence
and full of lives
are those cats
ignorant they jump around
with their '*******' attitude
waiting to die

full of joy
and full of ideas
are those kids
ignorant they jump around
discovering the world
waiting to grow


bursting, dying, growing
those are the blessed ones
living for the instant
the waiting ignorants

I saw your hands
brush against my fingertips last night
and stared while you carefully knitted your digits into mine
as if I were a birthday balloon
given to you at school
that you showed off with excitement and pride

I saw you stare at me last night
while I floated in the corner of your room
slowly sinking as the hours passed by

talking in a room full of helium
your voice rose octaves
my eyes never left you

I woke up this morning
touching nothing but my own floor.
Popped by reality.

I was swimming in a sea
Of balloons
They were
Ocean
Blue
&
White
I tried to hold on but
Always slipping under
The white would slip off
the many blues
And hit like a
Feather
Shaped
Brick
Many more would fall
I tried to breath
But the latex water
Suffocating,
Asphyxiating,
Breathless,
As each rolled off my face.
I was in a ocean of
Balloons,
But they kept floating down
Knocking the air from my lungs,
I swam,
I drifted,
As the white wall faded
Sinking to the bottom
The weight too much,
To float as the blue,
I was swimming in balloons,
Now floating face down
Suffocated by the endless blue..

Tearstains unlock doors
You reach out in darkness and
Ask for me to come inside

We sit in the space in your soul for
Hours pouring out our hearts
Until the light peeks through the
Crack under the door

Stepping out you dance away
Into daybreak without farewell
Leaving me in an empty shell

My poured out heart is
A puddle on the floor that
You didn't embrace the way I did

I might see you again
When it gets dark
And you recall
Just how miserable
Seclusion is

Welcome back
I've been lonely
