Not Anymore



Not Anymore 
(A sequel to "Just A Stranger") 
by Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

I was about to leave but you said "hey!", 
That single word made my heart so happy,
Prevented myself from shouting in total glee. 

I finally got a chance to know you even more, 
Thrilled 'coz you let me in by opening your door.
You're no longer just a stranger, not anymore.

Just A Stranger



Just A Stranger
by Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

With a single glance, you made my day better, 
Like the world stopped, I can't help but stare.
Your attractive aura's all over the atmosphere. 

Something's pushing me to get to know you closer.
Wanting to hold you, and caress you so tender, 
But I'm afraid 'coz you're totally just a stranger.

Clandestine Love Affair

 

Clandestine Love Affair
by Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

Morning fresh air was pleasantly breathable, 
As the sun rose, daylight became visible. 
In the woodland where I saw you standing tall, 
Well-groomed, kempt and agreeably gentle.

Smiles greeted us as our eyes met expressively.
It was like we have missed each other sincerely, 
And we both drew ourselves closer intimately. 
Your both hands gripped in mine inseparably.

Sat on a board talking 'bout our secret language, 
It is the only thing that the both of us can engage. 
If someone sees us together, we'll be like on a stage, 
Be judged, talked about, others might went savage.

Always the woodland is our secret rendezvous,
Frightened about the things we've never been through. 
We're like musicians making our first ever debut. 
A lot of time is needed for it not to be called a fiasco.

Then, the time on your wristwatch turned six, 
You suddenly stood up faster like you did some tricks. 
We bid our goodbyes 'coz we're afraid of the risks, 
About to part ways so I kissed you on your cheeks.

Our love may not be that ready for the world to discover, 
But that doesn't mean we'll keep it in the burrow forever. 
For you, happiness and love are the things I can share. 
I'm just grateful having you in our clandestine love affair.
