Truth or Dare
Ella R Jul 2019
Let’s play a game, Dear
Of spirit and sin
A game that I master
And that I’ll always win

Oh that look of dark suspicion
When I tell you what to play
That anxious hesitation
That smile that runs away

Such joy to see you falter
While you look for an excuse
When you know what’s next to come
When I start to make you choose

Could take Dare to be your choice
Thinking that should be alright
For there could be nothing worse
Than the truth to come to light

Well, you think you get away
Almost start to get amused
But what, Dear, if I dare you
To tell me the truth

So you feel your palms get sticky
And your pulse rate starts to rise
When you see the state of things
When you finally realize

Although it’s obvious by now
And there’s not much left to do
Just to make it clear and final
Let me lay it out for you

No matter what you choose
You'll Be left in despair
So what do you say, Dear
Truth or Dare

The Tower
Ella R Jul 2019
I wander to a lonely place
on the edge of the holy Land.
I wander through Shades of green and yellow.
Not to arrive, not to achieve.
Just to watch the Horizon.

I see the tower reach high above,
gleam in the golden light.
I run the million stairs in a
hurry.
Not to impress, not to please.
Just to see the evening sun.

I reach the highest point,
above me only orange sky.
I step to the edge in joyful
anticipation
Not to obey, not to fawn.
Just to feel the wind blow.

I stand still and breathe
the fresh air of the early night.
I look around me to absorb what I
see.
I close my eyes but I can’t remember
the last time I did something
Just for the joy of it.

— The End —
