 Goofy high pitch gas 
 When heated past lambda point 
 Goes superfluid

Helium Balloon

I am a celebration for the glad
I am a release for the sad
I brighten your every day
Yet made to want to float away
I am a delicate bouquet
A gift when no words are to say
I am in parade and holiday march
I am your graduation arch
I am delicate and precise
I am the thought of something nice
I am

The Helium Balloons

The helium balloons adhere,
Now partially deflated,
To the ceiling, rating not a glance,
Though they had been awaited.

Of course, there was excitement 
When at first they were presented.
Their absence surely would have been
Acknowledged and lamented.

But two weeks later, they are stuck,
Now finished with fulfilling
Their purpose, so they cling to life,
Their insides slowly spilling.

He Is For Helium

No stranger is this heart of helium
Inert in its silent self-destruction
Each word I speak is marked with an asterisk:
Devalued by years of backwards investment

I became my own deceiver
Letting my mind speak for my heart
After much misguided infatuation:
I had indulged my heart to the point of starvation

My brain is filled with strangers' definitions
With conceited aspirations, adrift

Helium Orbs

Darkness in illumination
What is this that strides before me
Ah!, Helium Orbs, Earth is saved!

Helium Balloons

Helium balloons may last
Well past when they're inflated,
Although longevity like that
Is vastly overrated.

For who needs "Welcome Baby" ones
When yours is two years old;
And most "Congratulations" 
After weeks start growing cold.

Balloons fulfill their duties well
But often they will pop;
With helium, however,
All those greetings never stop.

Yet there's one way to tell
If a balloon should bite the dust

White Helium Balloon

white helium balloon
not quite taut
from summer heat and long ride
in the rental car

let fly
by a son
to picture a father
going to a better place

crowd of friends, family
circle round
watch the orb
rise ? just slightly

then hover
just overhead
string dangling forlornly
barely out of towhead's grasp

sad eyes turn to adults
unspoken comes the question, "Why?"
"Never one to leave a party early"
nods a
