WHITE COTTON BALLS IN THE SKY

Source:carpetbones

From inside my dark room,

I watch the clouds drift by.

Puffy, white cotton balls

dotting the blue sky.

Dare I leave my safe haven

and venture outside?

I’ll wait until tomorrow

as they float on by.

AFTERNOON DELIGHT

“Come back to me my sweet.
Take a break from the heat.
An afternoon in a cool retreat.
We could make our own special heat.”
The wood door rattles and creaks open wide.
I hesitate before I walk inside.
The small room is as dark as night.
I begin to tremble with fright.
Maybe I should leave this place.
The door slams shut in my face.
I hear the voice in the air
Telling me, “what fair is fair.”
I intruded on this secret room,
​And so I won’t be leaving too soon.

ONE MORE DAY

From inside my dark room,

I watch the clouds float by.

Puffy cottonballs in the sky.

Dare I leave my safe haven

and venture outside?

Will the clouds wait for me?

I’ll wait until tomorrow.

One more day of watching.

And so I won’t be leaving too soon.
