Wild Imagination

 

Wild Imagination

by Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

Relieved whenever you are around, 

Ecstatic feeling like a congenial sound. 

Loneliness is cured and nowhere to be found.

Longing for your presence, I can't mound, 

Appears to be an inspiration, much if expound,

No single charm of yours failed to astound.

Your smile is one thing that I adore the most, 

Beautiful, charismatic and contagious,

An aesthetic worthy of an applause.

Nevertheless, you're still way out of my reach.

Even a simple touch, I can't barely establish. 

Zilch for me to contrive, 'coz you don't exist. 

Knowing that you're just a wild imagination

Yanks my happiness, gives me depression,

Obsession now turned into affliction.

Now, I want to shout and scream, 

Gosh, you are merely just a dream.

That Was Swift

That Was Swift

by: Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

"I thought you were the 1, but you left me hanging.

Life became dark, messy, rowdy and free-falling,

when you cut off our so-called invisible string.

I can still remember, that was August seven."

I was much in loved to a lady named "Betty",

She's from the last great american dynasty.

We're like Jack and Rose, she's rich, I'm in poverty,

And this is about our fairytale-like love story.

I was 22 when we first met out of plan.

She was wearing a red dress with a cardigan.

I was in total awe for at least a second.

Everything was perfect like the beam of the sun.

An innocent face, everyone would hesitate,

She's like a mirrorball, careful, she's delicate,

But she came for peace, and yes, we all do like it,

She then walked near me, pushed by destiny or fate.

Along Cornelia Street, she bought some of my fruits,

While buying, she caught my heart like a thief that loots.

She smiled at me, 'twas perfect like quotable quotes.

I trembled, wanted to shout like an owl that hoots.

And that became the best day of my existence,

'Coz I fell in love with her as deep as a trench.

And she regularly bought fruits, gripped it in clench,

I was the happiest, smile was always in presence.

Everything was all too well, bright as the daylight, 

But everything has changed and all turned into fright,

When our illicit affairs were known and in sight, 

But what they've heard wasn't a hoax, it's true, they're right.

Her mother knew it and became a mad woman.

She wanted us to part ways as far as we can.

Her father was ireful, thought me as just no one, 

Then my tears ricochet, it's getting out of hand.

Betty was put on exile, far from me to catch.

I was in epiphany why she didn't made a latch,

Because the both of us weren't really a match.

It felt like death by a thousand cuts, I can't patch.

Now, this is me trying to move on from the pain,

Not ready for it but reality comes in.

We are just like the lakes, we don't meet in the end.

The story of us was a cruel summer I'd been.

The folklore of me and you should never be kept, 

Lover of a lady with reputation to lift.

Speak now in fearless or you will be in grief.

If this was a movie, it's haunted, that was swift.

Grandiose View

Grandiose View

(A poem created in honor of Ariana Grande and her songs) 

by: Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

Sitting by the shore, watching the #Moonlight,

Asking myself whether I did life right.

You then come near me walking, wearing white, 

Makes my heart trembles but I'll #BeAlright.

We're feeling the cold winds of #December, 

Sitting #SideToSide like no one else's care.

We've talked much, you're sweet like a #Sweetener.

It is almost ten but hey, #iDontCare. 

We are simply like #BeautyAndTheBeast, 

A #DangerousWoman I can't resist.

Waves of the ocean, we can #DanceToThis, 

#HandsOnMe, let's go create #BetterDays.

Twelve midnight and you said #GoodNightAndGo, 

And for #OneLastTime, I wish you won't do.

Oh, please stay 'coz I'm so #IntoYou,

Please do me a favor, #LetMeLoveYou.

#TheLightIsComing in the calm morning. 

The meadow waves with fresh air I'm #Breathin, 

I am imagining and #Daydreamin,

Yes, last night was indeed #MyEverything.

Seeing you again is #MyFavoritePart,

Healing the #Problem of my #TattooedHeart.

As I #Imagine you, makes my day start.

#TheWay you smile, it's entirely an art.

#AllMyLove for you is overflowing, 

#InMyHead #OverAndOverAgain. 

I can't resist, you're all that I'm thinking. 

Might sounds #Greedy, but you're my heroine. 

I can't help but #Adore you #Everyday, 

Without you, I am just a #Nobody. 

I'm #Needy, I want you #TooClose to me. 

Darling, I want you to #BeMyBaby.

And it feels like #HoneymoonAvenue, 

With a #PopularSong on the #Piano,

A great #Monopoly of me and you, 

Pictured in a frame like a grandiose view.

As My Mood Swings

As My Mood Swings

by Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

You may see me chuckling quietly.

that even others think i'm crazy,

Then you will be in obscurity,

Thinking 'bout the thing that saddens me.

You'll be irritated by my weirdness,

But don't you dare break my happiness.

I may be just nothing and worthless,

but i still need respect, to be honest.

Understanding me is like a puzzle,

You'll be on a test, it's very hassle.

It is like drawing lines in parallel

while jumping in a very high hurdle.

It's a shame that I can't even handle this

But it's really hard on my part, promise!

You may think I badly need a psychiatrist,

but all I want is someone to grasp and caress.

I know that attitude is now really a thing,

And bipolarity is not worth-appreciating.

Treachery and perfidy were so heart-breaking.

But please do bear with me as my mood swings.

oOo

Unconditional

Unconditional
(A Mother's Day Special)
by Mark Jhon C. Oxillo

I may not be that vocal
in saying how much I love you,
but swear, I do. It's equal
with your love in different hue.

I am nothing without you.
You're as strong as the Narra Tree,
The toughest woman i know,
Amidst every adversity.

You mean a world to me, Mom,
"I LOVE YOU", all in capital.
Your love was so optimum,
all-out and unconditional.

Diverseness

Diverseness

by: Mark Jhon Cardoza Oxillo

"Mas gwapo si kuan kaysa sa iyaha",

"Mas brayt man gyud to si kuan kaysa niya",

"Siya ang pinakabogo sa klase nila"

"Siya ra juy pangit sa ilang pamilya ba."

These are some irksome words we often hear,

But we just let it pass through our bare ear.

Hearing such feels like having a fever.

'twas maddening, not funny, yes, never!

Comparison is becoming a thing.

Why mind my life when it's not interesting?,

Mine's unappreciative, nor bothering.

Go get a life dude, make it worth living!

Yeah, comparing stuffs may seem natural,

Though we sometimes do it in reciprocal,

But the thing is, it makes one skeptical,

With their friend's honesty and betrayal.

Ikaw kaya ang i-compare sa uban,

For sure, malain jud ka'g taman-taman.

Lahi man ta ninyo'g gigikanan,

Lahi sad ta ninyo'g pamatasan.

Let us embrace everyone's diverseness,

And appreciate someone's uniqueness.

Because that would give us true happiness.

Having weakness won't define our fullness.

oOo
