The 4 steps..

I want to walk these four steps, 

be bold,

dare to smell freedom

and see a new world. 

It's just four steps

why does it seem intimidating? 

I am nervous,
I don't intend to give in. 

These four steps 

are challenging me today,
I have to be focussed,
not let my mind run astray.

At the end of the four steps, 

there is no more pain,

no more heartbreaks 

and no loss or gain. 

It's just merging 

with nature again, 

to be back 

where I began.

My mind runs a zillion simulations

of my parallel existence,

I am just four steps away, 

I have to take a chance. 

Maybe I've jumped off the edge

beyond these four steps, 

in some parallel universe... 

saw what's beyond it,  

experienced eternal bliss. 

Or maybe it's in this universe 

I have to walk these four steps... 

I think no more,

I go one, two, three, four....

Broken

Can you imagine how it is when,

water from ten broken dams

fill in your body and mind at once?

Can you imagine how it feels as

the gushing cold water

takes your body with it,

and you are pushed and twisted

against your will…

Can you imagine how,

your soul is then tossed up and down

lost in obscurity!

Your mind struggles to stay afloat,

fights to survive against the flow.

but overwhelmed at some point

it just wants to drown and let go!!

Can you imagine the pain when,

a huge spear goes through your heart,

punctures it brutally

and the blood gushes out….?

Your unaware mind goes numb

as you wonder if you can survive this one?

Will you be able to even seal this wound?

In your mind, you don’t want this to be your end!

And deep inside you are scared,

of what would be left of you

even if you survive!

Can you imagine what happens

when life hits hard 

like the numerous pellets of a shotgun,

that pierces through the body,

soul, heart and mind?

It perforates and shatters
the essence of being alive,

leaving one like the remnants

after a massive crash or a blast,

scattered into a so many pieces.

Life then feels like a jigsaw puzzle
but with few pieces missing,
here and there.

But the soul still struggling

in a futile attempt to repair

the damages left behind
by the pieces that disappeared in thin air!

Moving on..

You wanted us be strangers again...
What do I make of the moments we spent together?

You said, there was no love ever...
and left me to wither .

You moved on ....
and my colorful life became a faded mess!

You disappeared from my life,
leaving behind a huge void of nothingness!



(c) Archana Bora

Hurt

Yesterday was a passionate night, 

l tasted the rawness in you. 

Imprinted on my body is your love, 

all in black and blue. 

You apologized for what happened.. 

you admitted you didn't mean it. 

I was wondering how you couldn't 

see the hurt beneath the skin. 

I wish you could see my torn heart... 

stabbed everytime you did something rash. 

But impulsive you, 

could care no less. 

Life so far has been a roller-coaster ride, 

with perilous ups and downs. 

Ups with you are fun for sure, 

Its the downs that break me down. 

Are we for real, I thought... 

When did I learn to endure so much?

Is love the glue, or its something else, 

Why am I with you? 

I thought that the harm is done, 

and you can hurt me no more. 

How much longer before I give up, 

that's something I am not sure! 

You made my heart bleed out, 

you made my soul feel hollow. 

Am just left with the thought... 

How much more!? 

(c) Archana Bora 

Futility

There was a time,
when we were lost
in each other's eyes.
I wonder how,
things got to this point
of no return.

I loved you, with all my heart,
and could move mountains
just to be with you.
As time went by,
I know not why
everything I did seemed futile.

I nomore
long to be with you,
or miss you as I did before.
You are gone, but I feel releived,
calm and serene
like a quiet ocean shore.

I wonder, what was 
me and you together ...
lust, love or nothing.
I ask my heart
I search my soul,
It just feels empty within.

(c)  Archana Bora

Love feels like the leaves of Fall!

I am  hanging in
just with a small hope within.
Things would work out
somehow, someday.

I cling to you desperately
as you try to do away with me.
Like the autumn leaves ...
I try to hold on!
Like that dried maple leaf,
stuck on your windshield...
That you eventually
throw away.

Dead and dry
feels the love between us...
I don't know what's in my mind
and what is this fuss!

We have been out there long
craving for each other...
I wonder even if we remember
what's it like to be together!

Love feels like the autumn leaf...
changing colors
and eventually breaking off
without any feelings evident!

(c) Archana Bora

Without you!

I have given you
some golden moments in life.
Please rescue me,
I don't think I can survive.

This heartbreak will
will take me life away.
Without you I refuse to
survive even a day.

Here I am
Still waiting,
for a miracle to happen.
Still waiting
when you admit you love me.

Come back to me,
I love you truly!

(c)  Archana Bora

Moments...

Every moment passes by,
without you, without your touch...
I wish you ever
missed me so much!

Love makes me
do stupid things..
Your memories linger...
makes my hear sing..

Come back to me
It's where you belong...
My love is true..
though my heart isn't  that strong.

So long.. I waited..
make me feel loved atleast!

(c)  Archana Bora

Broken

I am broken within... 

My heart shattered, 

into infinite pieces. 

I try to pick the pieces 

and walk away, 

I want to maintain my poise and 

the calm in me.

Love, now,  seems so painful.. 

and life so hard... 

I don't know if I can survive 

this heartbreak.. and move apart! 

(c)  Archana Bora 

My poems and you...

I gave you a rose, 

you kept it close. 

In return you sent me 

the painful thorns. 

I gave you a smile, 

you wear it all the while. 

In return you sent me

 endless tears. 

Long back, 

you asked me why... 

you aren't a part 

of the poems I write. 

I didn't know then 

but I know now.

My mind couldn't, 

but my heart read your eyes somehow....

If I loved you ever, 

you wouldn't have let me survive. 

(c) Archana Bora 

The Closed Door

I left messages,
I tried to call you.
Its been a while
I haven't heard from you..

I feel that you have
left me, alone.
I run to my car.
I drive off to your home.

I realize that you are gone, and
you want me no more,
as I wait on your porch,
after knocking at your door.

I walk back to my car....

I wonder if you ever
want to be found.

I still hope to see you
and I turn around. 

I guess 

I will never know....

what lies 

behind the closed door.

(c) Archana Bora

A thought!

Tired I am, looking at my life... 

A vast emptiness ahead of me, 

as empty as the glass

turned upside down on my table... 

It hurts to watch my dreams

disappear into this emptiness!

Maybe I should have been

that simple girl with no dreams. 

(c) Archana Bora

When you are not around!

Creeps within me,
a sudden urge
for your touch.

I don't see you.. 
but somehow 

I want you around.

My wandering eyes
look for you
in the crowd.

(c) Archana Bora

Captivated

I crave again,
for that look in your eyes
when you made love to me.
I miss your strong arms
holding me tight,
close to you,
throughout the night.

As I try to forget
the moments with you,
your touch and
those longing eyes,
I realize..

I thought
I could break free
of this love for you.
But, I was wrong!
I can never
resist this attraction,
so strong!

Somehow, you
will always exist,
somewhere
in my heart!

(c) Archana Bora

Relief

No tears, but
I smile as you walk out.
I feel there is nothing
to fuss about!

This time, I let you leave,
with an open heart.
Surprisingly, I feel no pain,
as you move apart!

I feel its best,
if you move away.
We are up to no good,
if we together we stay!

Surprisingly,
I breathe in relief
as I  open the door for you
to walk of my life...

(c) Archana Bora

After I am gone..

Sometimes I wonder,
will my absence,
from the world,
ever matter?

Will I be missed?
Will someone cry for me?
or I will be lost
in the tide of time?

(c) Archana Bora

A Second Heart!

I met you,
I was not supposed to.
I fell in love.
I wondered, if it was wrong.

My feelings for you
were hard to ignore.
With each passing day,
I loved you more.

My heart was
already taken.
It was love with you too,
and I wasn't mistaken!
I wished, I had a second heart
to offer to you as a token.

You cared,
and you loved me back.
You never asked me
where my first heart's at.

With this heartless love
we moved on, aloof of the future.
At this point, we don't know
how to stop being together!

Now I wonder,
in this heartless love,
what will break
when we leave each other!

(c) Archana Bora

My wrecked life

I refused to open
the sealed doors to my heart.
I pushed back
and held the door hard.

You broke the doors,
and barged in to my life.
Just to leave
a havoc behind.

You didn't like the "me",
hiding behind the door.
You walked out
because you got bored.

Now I know not how to
fix this mess.
After you left,
my life is wrecked.
I know not what
to do now!

If only I could
fix my life somehow.

(c) Archana Bora

Reliving the past

I missed you ..
as I walked through
the places, you and I
had been together.

Remembered how
the trifling thoughts
ran through
our hearts and minds.

Missed how we
talked of everything else,
except what we
longed for, so much.

All I wanted today,
was you, near me,
snug in my arms
as close as you could be.

(c) Archana Bora

Cold and Numb

I couldn't feel
what lies
deep within
your soul.

I held you close..

Close enough that
your touch left me
numb and cold.

Blind in love,
I refused to see
your ice cold heart.

Now,
the blood icicles
pierce my heart.

(c) Archana Bora

My lost words

I have waited 

for so long, 

that now I feel, 

I have lost my words... 

.. The meaningless, 

endless words, 

that I spoke to you 

from my heart. 

So much to say... 

but now, 

nothing seems

worthwhile. 

I drown 

in silence 

as the void inflates 

between us! 

(c) Archana Bora 

Blue

My mind,
is blank like an empty white sheet,
feels like its gone crazy,
has a storm brewing in.

My life,
is like the dry autumn leaf,
attractive outside but dying within,
covered in shades of red.

My heart,
no longer wishes to look ahead,

feels hollow and dead,
lies slain and is bleeding red.

(c) Archana Bora

Consigned to oblivion

I want to kill this
feeling,
but your love has
seeped deep within...
.. into my flesh
and my bones.

I want to get rid
of your memories,
which now dwell
deep in my mind
and refuse
to vacate it anyhow!

The urge for you
refuses to die.
My heart
can't decide...
... what to do.
Its a mayhem,
you left behind!

(c) Archana Bora

Burnt dead

Everyday
I succumb,
to the cold world.
I turn numb.

Every night
the warmth returns,
when I dream of you,
and a passionate night
follows through.

Arises with the rising sun,
the harsh realities of life.
I am compelled to
burn my dreams,
to stay strong and survive.

I wake up with
the ashes of
my dreams,
burnt dead.

Numbness returns!

(c) Archana Bora

The perfect moment

Snug in your arms, 

close to your heart, 

I open my eyes

and wonder if it's a dream. 

I dig in deep

into your chest, 

and hear your heart beat

as you sleep. 

My happiness 

knows no bounds,

my heart smiles.

Because in my dreams, 

I have lived this moment 

a zillion times. 

Unlike my dreams 

so perfect it seems,  

the moment that I just lived. 

Waking up in your arms 

is eternal bliss. 

(c) Archana Bora 

Live wire

I am craving
to make love to you.
Right now I need
every bit of you,
those passionate kisses,
and the closeness,
that my heart
now misses.

So attracted I am, to you,
I can't escape your charm.
I become a live wire
in your arms.
Your sensual touch
ignites me from within.
Your tender kisses
sets ablaze my skin.

I can just give up anything
to be with you right now!

(c) Archana Bora

Lust Stuck

Though I said I won't,
I still miss you.
I know not how
to stop longing for you.

I don't care what you are for others,
but you attract me.
Look into my eyes,
its desperation you'll see.

With you, I become
a love stuck teenager in pain.
Unable to resist the urge
I knock your door again.

I demand a kiss
and your snug hug.
I want to make love
though its out of lust!

Please don't send me away,
I am lust stuck.

(c) Archana Bora

My heart

Give me some glue
to fix my heart.
Otherwise
these deep wounds,
cutting through,
will break it apart.

Give me some colors,
to fill my life.

My past makes

my heart feel blue.

Give me some music
rock, pop or street!
My heart refuses to dance
on life's monotonous beat.

Give me a magic potion
to revive myself again.
My heart feels numb,
and brutally slain.

Or ... give me
just a bit of you.
My heart will survive
and make it through!

Because..
Your love is the
perfect glue.
You add colors
to my life so blue.
My heart dances to
the rhythm of our
synchronized heart beat.
My heart comes alive
every time our lips meet.

Somehow my heart

can't do without you,
anymore!

(c) Archana Bora

Ineffable

Thoughts dissolve
and words evaporate,
from my mind,
I don't know why.
From my heart
escapes a sigh.

I try to pen down a poem
describing my feelings for you,
but somehow
my hands refuse to.

I think of wording
my feelings, be bold,
but I just mumble
an unintelligible code.

It occurs to me
that you and
my love for you
can never be
bound in words.

(c) Archana Bora

Adieu

I need your love,

I need you around,
but you are 

nowhere to be found. 

How distant you are,
I couldn't foresee.
So, I have let go of you
and set my heart free.

(c) Archana Bora

Do You?

Does anything,
that's mine,
matter in your life?
Do you ever, endlessly,
look at my pictures
hoping I would come alive?

Do you ever, in your mind,
replay those passionate moments
when you miss my touch?
Do you ever wonder
why, when we are apart,
you miss me so much?

Do you drown
in an ocean of vast emptiness,
every time I leave you behind?
Do you ever wonder
why my absence
makes you lose your mind?

Do you ever wish to
turn back time,
just to return back to me
one last time?

(c) Archana Bora

Why?

Why does everything,
that's yours,
matter so much in my life?
Why everyday, endlessly,
I look at your pictures
hoping you would come alive?

Why everyday, in my mind,
I replay those passionate moments
when I miss your touch?
Why everyday I wonder why,
when we are apart,
I miss you so much?

Why do I drown in an ocean
of vast emptiness,
every time you leave me behind?
Why everyday I wonder
why your absence
makes me lose my mind?

Why everyday I wish to
turn back time,
just to be in your arms
one last time?

(c) Archana Bora

How you make me feel...

You make me feel left out,
ignored, and not cared for
like I have never felt before.

You make me seem like a fool,
as I try, in vain,
to fix my broken heart!

You make me feel helpless,
as I know not how to
heal this endless pain.

You make me feel lost,
as I run in to you
every time I try to move on.

You make me realize
how painful it can be,
when emotions are tied
to a heartless soul.

(c) Archana Bora

Life with you

The random
grocery and coffee runs,
doing chores,
and running errands
were fun with you.

The casual chat
while wasting time
window shopping,
endlessly in a mall,
were fun with you!

The not so long drives,
in heavy traffic
when you cursed
at everything around,
were fun with you!

Getting back
into your arms
after a long day,
to forget
the whole world,
was fun with you!

A tight hug every time,
to feel
the warmth of your chest
and smell
your musky cologne,
was fun with you!

Sharing sweet nothings,
while kissing your ears,
and not missing a chance
just to kiss and make love
was fun with you!

Cuddling and sipping
the morning tea,
that you made
for both of us
was fun with you!

Though far away
I am from you,
you dwell in my heart,
and these memories
always make me smile.

Life is fun with you!

(c) Archana Bora

Heartbroken

It hurts a bit more,
with every
passing moment.
But I wait
with a hope that
you will try to get in touch.

It hurts

that I can't let go,

though you 

broke my heart,
and walked away
leaving me alone,
without  love.

It hurts
that I love you,
though I know
you don't care
about me,
about my heart,
or my life.

It hurts
that I still think of you,
when my life stands
at a stalemate
and I refuse
to budge at all.

Love truly hurts ..



(c) Archana Bora

You and I

Somehow love seems
to be lost
in the worldly ties.
Hopelessly I stand
as our relationship dies.

There exists no more
You and I

I wonder why I grieve,
this relationship was
never meant to survive!

(c) Archana Bora

A wish..

I wish your thoughts
leave my mind.
I wish I could, for once,
turn back time..
to that moment
when I first noticed you.

This time, I will not let
attraction take over.
I will resist you,
I will not look at you,
I will ignore you,
and I will refuse to feel
anything for you.
I will set my heart free
of this love for you.

Maybe then

life will return
to what it was before.

Maybe then you no more
will be be the man,

who my heart now yearns for!


(c) Archana Bora

The door

I am alone,
in my cold room,
feeling dejected and isolated.

I struggle to smile,
as a thought
crosses my mind...
... Why do
endless people
walk in and out
of my life,
at their will,
leaving me behind?

(c) Archana Bora

Thoughts

I thought I am
strong enough,
I will miss you never!
I thought I can
end this craziness,
but my heart can't bear!

I thought I can
ignore you,
but my attempts fail.
I thought I will
not get in touch,
but I leave you a voice mail.

I thought I can
leave you behind
and follow life's flow.
Now I am stuck
at the crossroads,
with no where to go!

Your thoughts

refuse to leave me alone.

(c) Archana Bora

Dilemma

Thoughts of you
refuse to leave
my heart.
You seem
to have become
my life's essential part.

My feelings
for you
refuse to subside.
I don't know
how to hold onto
the moments
that slide by.

To let go or not
I just can't decide..

(c) Archana Bora

The Infatuated heart

Insanely attracted
I am to you.
Just could not
see this coming through!

Should have known
its a bad idea
to be with you
to be close to you
to love you
the way I do.

I knew,
this was wrong
from beginning
to its end.

Now I know not
what to tell my heart!

(c) Archana Bora

One last time...

One last time..
I wish
I could
see you again,
and feel you
next to me.

One last time..
I wish
I could
lose myself
in your
warm embrace.

One last time..
I wish
I could
sit by you,
hold you close
and snuggle.

One last time..
I wish
I could
kiss your lips,
and make love to you
all night long.

One last time
before we part,
I wish
I could
wake up
in your arms again, 

with your musky smell,
lingering, 

all over me. 

(c) Archana Bora

After you left...

After you left...

I want to return
to where I belong.
I am crumbling,
I can't hold on.

I already feel defeated
I have given up the fight.
I am tired,
my morals are low,
I feel lost and stranded,
with no where to go.

Not in sync
my mind, heart and soul..
My heart revolts in pain,
I feel out of control.
The void you left behind,
seems like a bottomless hole..

(c) Archana Bora

Life

We live
and die..
and some of us
forget to ask why!
I wonder
what life means.
Is it just
chores and routines?

Or is it just

a fast paced race?
Or our journey to death,
with a poker face,
emotionless,
drained,
constrained,
with nothing to embrace?


(c) Archana Bora

Monochrome Rainbow..

Dreams, I dislike...
Hopes I hate..
I feel I am
in a suspended state.

I know not
what lies ahead,
I hate what I've
been through.
I don't like
my present.
All seems fake
and nothing true!

Life swings
like a pendulum,
but from sadness
to sadness.
Helplessly
I watch life
pass me by,
I long for happiness.

How long
do I have?
How much
can I endure?
I have no
answers,
I feel
so unsure.

My life is
a mix of grays,
nothing more than a
monochrome rainbow.


(c) Archana Bora

Addicted

Why is it so difficult
to think straight,
when I can't get you?
Why does my body ache,
desperately,
for just a little bit of you?
Why do I yearn again
for a kiss, for your touch,
... for you?
Why is it never enough
and I want every bit of you?

So desperate I feel
and so much in need.
You aren't around now,
and I want a fix.
I wonder if I will
survive somehow!

You say am addicted to you,
I don't deny..
and I have no answer..
If you ask me why!

(c) Archana Bora

Time with you

I look forward
to see you,
every moment,
of every day.
Though I have
no plans,
and no idea
what to say.

Its just that
the longing
to be with you
never dies.
Hate it,
when we are
together,
how time flies.

Each hour brutally
shrinks into a second!

(c) Archana Bora

At the coffee bar..

I look at you,
perplexed,
as I stir my coffee..

Our eyes meet,
as you take a sip,
and escapes within me,
a sigh.
You feel
like the fresh,
autumn breeze,
passing by.

I can't escape
your charm!
I hate to admit
but you know...
So I walk to you,
don't want to resist anymore.

(c) Archana Bora

Confession

You close your eyes

and lie next to me, 

breathing softly... 

I look at you, 

as I turn around,

and kiss you lightly. 

You and me, 

when together, 

are so passionate. 

Sparks fly when 

our bodies meet, 

you are my perfect mate. 

Each bit of you 

feels mine, 

I can't let go. 

I feel so loved 

in your arms, 

I go on with the flow. 

Cherish each moment 

I've spent with you. 

I miss you... 

(c)  Archana Bora 

Truth bites

I waited
for a call,
for a hello,
for a small talk...
.. over the phone,
or on chat
but you weren't there
and I missed you!

Expectations..
I have none,
but I felt
an emptiness,
and something
missing
in my day!

Unknowingly,
I have bonded
with you..
snug and tight!

Now I have to
break the bond
and walk away..
... back into the past,
to be strangers
with you, again!


(c) Archana Bora

The untangling

I need love
I can't find it now..
I need affection..
its lost somehow!
I need you around..
but you are away.
I need you to hear
what I silently say!
I need some time
with you alone..
I need you to love me,
as your own!

I thought,
maybe,
its good this way..
With the distance
between us,
there is less to say!
Space is something
we have between us..
keeps us steady
with less fuss.

What my heart wants...
I no more know.
It loves you dearly
doesn't want to let go!
With emotions
entangled somehow....
My feelings for you
have changed now..

Now I need you close
I need you with me.
I love with a heart ..
as true as can be!

I miss you so much!



(c) Archana Bora

Spellbound

For all I knew..
in our own worlds
there was no "you and me"..

You caught my eyes...
and that long hand shake
got me by surprise..

Spell bound I stood...
and knew that moment..
you belonged with me!


(c) Archana Bora

The beginning!

My heart thumps
as we lie
next to each other..
My heart skips
a thousand beats
as you move closer..

You brush my hair
with your finger tips
and slowly touch my lips!
Emotions run wild
inside me
and I long for a kiss...

You read my mind
and move closer,
I can feel your breath on me..
My heart screams
and pounds
in desperation!

Our eyes meet...
as our lips meet
and you kiss me..
You watch me
watching you
as you watch me..

Intense is the passion
and the desire
its as if
our bodies are on fire.

Desperation then
knows no bounds...


(c) Archana Bora

Waking up with you

Its morning..
I wake up..
with memories
from yesternight
and your smell..
lingering.. ..
Not sure if
I was dreaming...
and last I remember
you and me were snuggling...

Instinctively,
my hands
search for you!

I feel the empty bed...
still feels warm
on your side...
I see you smiling...
watching me ...
as I open my eyes.

Escapes a wry smile..
as you hug me tight!
Life is magical...

with you beside.

Lust

I day dream about 

You and me!

I can’t help thinking 

of you endlessly…

Your eyes, your lips, smile and you…

make me yearn for

intimacy with you..

The urge to get close 

is too strong... 

I move on to you, 

though I know it’s wrong…! 

I feel no shame 

to make this confession… 

All I yearn for is a night 

drenched in passion… 

I surrender 

to this fascination 

and savor you 

to my heart’s satisfaction! 

As our bodies, 

like the creepers intertwine! 

I snug up close to you, 

with your lips on mine… 

I know am being unreasonable, 

I know am being unjust… 

I care no more about morals, 

I am captivated by lust!

Sublime

My heart misses you,
every moment,.. incessantly...
The longing for you within
seems to grow endlessly..

Miss kissing you ..
so long it has been..
Miss the feel your touch,

on my bare skin....

Miss the feel your body...

when you hugged me tight... 

and made love to me..
all through the night!

I thought like the others
this too will fade with time..
But, you have left behind
an effect sublime..

I wonder now, why you are...
what you are to me....

Soul Mate

I never knew,
it could be true
that I have a soul mate too.

I saw you,
fell in love,
and left the world for you!

Now all I think
and dream of
is you and me together..
.... Not bound in words
that define relationships..
we share love with each other.

Free of the worldly ties..
my unbound heart flies..
to you ... My love..


I love you so much!


(c) Archana Bora

Desperate me!

It’s been a while..

I’ve felt this way..

I don’t know

what to do, what to say..

My heart skipped a beat

when our eyes met today..

Now I urge to kiss you..

In your arms, I want to sway…

I try … but I can’t

keep your thoughts off my mind.

I want you close..

you are driving me wild.

I wonder if you will ever

see the longing in my eyes.

I wonder if ever...

you'ld give me a chance…

to get close to you..

to kiss you as I want to..

feel you ...

as I snuggle with you!

I am so desperate for you!

Tera Intezaar

Ab bhi tere qareeb aaney ki

mere dil mei ek aas hai…

Tere bin meri zindagi mei

soonepan ka sailab sa hai….

Dil ko maiy se behlaane ki

maine laakh koshish ki,

par kambakht maiy bhi ab

is dard pe be-asar si hai!

Muskurahat mere ghar ka raasta

bhool si gayi hain…

Ab mere paas gham ke siva,

ab kuch aur nahi hai…

Tera intezaar chaen lene nahi de raha….

Mera dil mujhse ab aur sambhal nahi raha…

© Archana Bora

Run to You

You walk to me

You pull me close,

I shy away…

You touch my heart

I feel the pain,

but I don’t give away…

I tremble

as I try to overcome

the temptation within…

But you hold me still

with your gaze,

as I try to refrain…

I know it’s wrong...

but somehow I care not now…

what I’ll go through!

Infatuated and

blind in love,

I run to you....

Strangled Love

Life has reached
a perfect stalemate,
with my never ending attempts
to create my perfect mate.

I said I loved you,
but I lacked strength or faith….
to accept you as you are,
and give you some space….
... where you could breathe,
hangout with your buddies ,
and do things you like…
and live with no worries!!

My decisions were self centered,
I often hurt you,
Blind in love, I denied you freedom…
to be the ‘real’ you!

The man of my dreams
… I saw in you,
I loved someday,
was now lost in my likes and dislikes!

You were with me,
but no more the one I fell in love with…
You were the conditioned soul
who gave into my every wish!
You felt less like love
and more like a possession!

© Archana Bora

The closed mind!

You smile at me

and I don't,

imagining things

that are non-existent!

But your love is strong

and you ... persistent!

You walk to me,

as I walk away!

You stick around

though I refuse to stay!

You make me smile

after a while...

as I seem so silly!

© Archana Bora

Amorous me...

Rise within me, an intense urge

to see you right now.

I feel the desire within,

to be in your arms again somehow...

I miss your lips kissing mine..

I miss your sweet embrace.

and your intoxicating eyes

that got my heartbeat to race...

I crave to feel you caressing me...

I want you as close as can be.

Please come and share with me,

some moments .....

I have been longing for sometime now!

©Archana Bora

Silence

You cared not,

and you walked away,

without a word

today....

Maybe there was

nothing to say.

Maybe you thought

it will pass with the day...

Maybe you never thought

I could understand you!

I stood still..

staring at the door.

My heart pondering.....

as I await the answers to the questions,
lost in silence...!

© Archana Bora

Without you!

Here I am...

with emptiness

and solitude...

to accompany me

in my empty house!

How I miss your eager eyes,

that looked happy...

when we met each other

after a long tiring day...

How I miss returning

into the warmth

of your embrace,

at the end of everyday!

How I miss being with you,

and cared for...

and yearn for the moments

of love like we had before...

I think I have lost

all my reasons to smile..!

I don't feel at home,

nothing feels worthwhile...

I guess...

I just hate to

live without you anymore!

© Archana Bora

One-sided affair...

Incessantly your thoughts
creep in my mind...
and I miss you,
I want you..

I know,
it isn't the same with you.

I refuse to accept,
my non-existence,
..In your life
and your thoughts!

My infatuated heart,
escapes from what’s true.
And I endlessly waste
my emotions on you...!!


© Archana Bora

Fatal Attraction

You touch me,
and I melt like ice!
..Creeps within me
infinite desires..

.. I feel amorphous..
… amorous and unsteady...
This urge for you
show in my eyes!!

I surrender to you!

© Archana Bora

Come to me...

I crave for you,
I long for your touch…
I wonder why
I miss you so much!

I shudder with desire
I feel insane…
Drenched in passion
I need you again!

Tame my wildness…
I set my passion free!
You are all I need..
make love to me!!

Come close
and hold me tight…
Make me feel
special tonight!

© Archana Bora

I yearn to die...

My heart torn,
My dreams burnt out…
I know not
If there is a way out!

In pain and anguish
I go insane…
I lie unheard,
I scream in vain…

Hopeless and tired..
I yearn to die!

Still Cherish!

I turn back
startled,
as I see you
standing behind..
With a beaming face
and a bunch
of roses in
your hand!!

You get close
to kiss me,
and my emotions
go insane...
The chemistry
between us
feels still the same!

I hug you tight
and find home
in your sweet embrace!

I cherish
each moment
I spent with you!

Your essence in my heart,
lingers still…
...though we're miles apart!

I love you so much!!

Copyright © Archana Bora

Distance...

Deep down in my heart
I know its true..
But, I know not how to
express my love for you!

It hurt when you said
I care no more!
My love feels alien
and sentiments sore!!

A distance seeped
within us …gradually!!

(c) Archana Bora

Transition!

I was your love,
I was the one for you…
Emotions were deep,
and love true!!

Love changes
emotions too…
I don’t know if today
I mean the same to you!

You seem distant
and this relation turbulent…!

Copyright © Archana Bora

Nomore You!!

I don’t understand,
It feels unreal!
You without a warm smile,
and a tender feel..

No more soft words,
No more being kind..
All that remains is a
sore heart and mind!

No more of romance…
No more you talk
All that exists
is a silent lonely walk!!

I feel estranged
as you refuse to speak what's true..
I realise..
its altogether a different "You"!!


Copyright © Archana Bora

Distance....

All by myself..
alone I stand!!
Away from you
in an unknown land.


A void creeps between
you and me…!!
There is no ray of hope
that I see…


Drifting miles apart,
amidst unfathomable sorrow..
I wait with a hope
for a better tomorrow!


Copyright © Archana Bora

Seduction!

I fail to escape the charm
of your smile..
You pull me close..
and hug me for a while!

Your musky cologne
makes me lose my senses!
and you slowly run your fingers
through my open tresses!

You move closer and gently
kiss my lips..
and caress me all over
with your finger tips!

My heartbeats race
in anticipation!


Copyright © Archana Bora

You and Me...

Emotionally bound,
but distant existance,
creates a void within!
Words fail, tears too,
what next to do..
you leave me thinking!

The pain intense,
fills my eyes with tears
as we part!
Your words hurt
I can't stand strong,
I sigh with a heavy heart!

Copyright (c) Archana Bora

A call from my heart!

Look into my eyes..
hiding behind the smile...
You will see my tears!

Search my heart,
you will find some scars...
of memories left behind.

Just skin and bones
devoid of a heart..
I feel I am made out of stone...

So much in life, has come and gone
I care not now, what more remains
to be seen and done!

Tired of life, I wish nomore
to live in this heartless world!

(c) Archana Bora

Heartbroken!

I realise...its all over
All by myself.... I'm alone!

I try hard, to gather strength...

to stand again, on my own!

I am heartbroken, I confess...
My life feels, a complete mess.

Time and tide wait for none..!

This is life.. I have to move on..

I pick the broken peices, of my heart..
And walk away from you!

(c) Archana Bora

The Mayhem!

You look at me, I shy away..
You stare at me.. in a funny way!

The shine in your eyes and smile on your face
and your look set my heartbeats to race!!

As I try to escape your intense gaze...
I feel trapped in a blind maze...

Entangled emotions feel new to me...
volatile and vulnerable as much as can be!!

I wonder what is wrong with me!!

Dancing in the Moonlight!!

As you walk beside me
in the moonlit night
I wish if we could dance… !

Silently we walk...
with our shadows with us.
Somehow you read my mind!

U take my hand,
pull me close,
and start to sway....
....Cosy and close
hand in hand
on a romantic beat.

Our souls together,
dance in ecstasy,
on a comfortable tempo!

All in love,
drunk with passion,
I feel elated…

© Archana Bora

You ... My love!

Life seems again like a
bright sunny day..

as we relive the moments

of passion today..

You touched me,
after such a long time...
You felt like
the warm sunshine!

Lying at ease
in your cosy embrace...
Happiness beamed
through my radiant face!

Snug in your arms...
close to you...
I shuddered in pleasure
as I kissed you!!

Our love today,
feels so strong!
Life nomore seems
a sad old song!

I genuinely feel
happy today!


(c) Archana Bora

A Journey ... Life!

Bound with imaginary
emotional ties..
My worn out and
broken heart cries.

No one too close,
no love to gain!
No one with me
to share this pain…
..of my broken dreams
and lonely life…
Alone I walk
with no-one beside!

I think again...
of the words I ignored…
We’ve come alone..
and alone we’d go…
…Life is a journey
to move on our own..
So have no feelings
and have a heart of stone!

Lead your life..
think of none…
Cause for no-one it matters
You are there or gone!

I understand
Live Life Alone!

Rejuvenation

Tired of putting
my real self behind
every time…

I realize…
Its high time..
to revive the potential inside…

I gather strength
from within my soul
and stand for myself!

Unconcealed I am,
without the mask
of forced emotions!

I express myself
in a few words ..
but evident enough!

Morality, formality
matters no more…
I subsist in my chaste form!

Liberated my heart,
feels alive…
with no bounds today!

© Archana Bora

Anticipation

Dressed in red..
I wait for you,
in anticipation …!
My heart pounds,
loud and fast,
wild with temptation!

Want a night memorable,
dipped in passion
intense and true!
And I wish to
forget everything ...
but my love for you!

Its been a while
we’ve been close,
and spent time together!
I want to celebrate
our love today,
so that memories last forever!

My heart skips beats …
as with each kiss..
you touch my bare skin!
Ignites me and creates
a millions agitated,
incessant waves within!

Ripples of excitement
within my heart,
comes up on surface!
Anticipation ends
and begins ...
My life's most awaited phase!

I love to be in your arms!!

© Archana Bora

Heartbroken!

Don’t know what
my mind wants to do…
After I broke up
today with you!

Emotions wasted
and heart feels a loner!!
My passionate feelings
lie neglected in a corner!

Years of affection,
love and care!
How could everything
suddenly disappear!?

I wonder if ever…
you were serious…!
When I searched for solutions
you looked for excuses…

I wish I could
erase reminiscences of you..
and could get rid
of this love so true!

I wish I could forget You!!

© Archana Bora

Run back to You!

In tumult my heart
doesn’t know what to do…
My life feels empty
without you!

Away from happiness …
marooned I stand…
alone all by myself
no one to hold my hand!

I long to run back,
into your arms, where I belong!
My mind in mayhem and
my heart no more strong!

The pain of being far
is now intolerable!
Tears fill my eyes,
and leave me miserable..

Am too sad to cry
I am emotionally choked!!

© Archana Bora

My love for You...

Life looks
a shade of gray
when you're not around!
I know … in you
its honest love..
I’ve found!

Loving you never
feels enough…
its you I miss!
I don’t understand
why do I
love you like this!

I long to see you
everyday,
don’t want you out of sight!
Close to me …
by my side
all day and night!

Unseen strings
of affection…
bind me to you!
I know not,
why do I love you
with a heart so true!

© Archana Bora

Ice and Fire!!

I watch you
eyeing me..
in your eyes
desperation I see!

I move close…

..Naively part
my dry lips…
as we share a
hungry, passionate kiss…!

My mind in mayhem
but my soul set free!
Like the zephyr
you caress me…

Together I feel
we’re ice and fire!
I melt in your arms…
as you burn in desire!

© Archana Bora

Writer's Block!

I scribble…
struggle… in vain!
All my efforts go wasted..
I feel drained…..
… emotionally and
mentally equally sapped!

Words vanish…
as I try to write!
I can’t pen down
a single phrase right!

My mind feels as blank
as lies the sheet of paper
in front of me!

© Archana Bora

Wildfire!

Your lips touch mine…
and you hold me tight!
I feel a wry smile escape
as I tremble with delight!

I feel your warmth..
as we get close!

I smell you,
your cologne..
musky and refreshing!
Coyly snug in
your embrace..
..I feel my heart thumping!

…On a rhythm unknown
of a song unsung…

Surges in me
a craving intense…
as passion flares within!
Instinctively ..
I respond to your kiss
demanding!

My lips part
and give way
as they await invasion!
I feel the moistness
as you taste me…
I savour the satisfaction!

I love to lose myself
to this desire so strong..!!
To taste every bit of you,
I long…. !!

Spellbound you leave me…
and my temptation
takes over!!
Hot, wild, roaring
'You' feel like the
"wildfire"!

(c) Archana Bora

Cry of a broken heart!

Dreams gray
life blue...
I wonder what do I
do without you!

You thought not once...
You left me!!
Never ever wondered
how would I be!!

Away from you,
devoid of life...
I wonder till when
will I survive!!

Lost in love,
with hopes no more...
I wonder
what I live for!

So much in love,
so much in pain!
Life feels like an
wasted effort in vain!

I hate to say
I heart fails to accept..
Though you broke my heart
Still I love you a lot!!

(c) Archana Bora

Loneliness!

Far away from
people I love…
who make my world shine!!
Lost and lonely
I stand ..
no one to call mine!

Caught in between…
devil and the
deep sea!
Aloof and
indifferent people
surrounding me!

My desperate tears
fill my eyes...
I have no shoulder to cry on!
I shiver
as I realise...
I have no one!!

Neither love nor support
and there is no one
by my side!
Be it pain or tears...
hurt or whatever
I have to take all in my stride!

My heart gives up..
as there is no response
to my desperate shout!
I have no way out…
other than the silence now
that kills me.. day in and out!!

I scream aloud
in vain...
to kill the silence
around me!!


© Archana Bora

Falling in love!!

Mushy notes,
dreamy eyes..
endless daydreams..
makes my heart sigh!

Difficult it is
to resist you…
Attraction takes over
and I can’t help missing you!

My mind says no..
but the heart cries in vain!
The craving for you
will make me go insane!

Wonder why I cant
escape this urge...
and nothing seem to pacify
this intense surge…
….of endless desires..
passion and emotions ..
I stand dazed…
and my mind in commotion!

I guess I have
lost my heart to you!!


© Archana Bora

Giving in to You!!

Your musky smell
set my senses untamed
I look at you…
and feel ashamed…!

Rises within me
intense emotion I can’t hide!
You are irresistible
my eyes confide!!

I tremble…as
you kiss my skin…
and as you hold me close
feebly I give in!!

Drenched in love…
dipped in passion…
I step close to you,
giving into the temptation!

Surges an urge within
hard to satisfy…
I love to lose myself ...
as I look in your eyes!

Wild and intense
filled with passion…
You are all I need…
you are my obsession!

As we make love…
and relish the proximity!
Desperate and feral
I taste ecstasy!!

© Archana Bora

Missing You!

Trying to ignore
your thoughts in my mind…
but it rebounds
again and again!

Missing your smile…
that worked like a magic!
Memories linger
And drive me nostalgic!

Craving for the warmth
of your embrace…
and lying on your chest
in solace!!

Lost in daydreams…
I re-live the life with you…
Tired of living away…
want to run back to you!

I miss you!!

(c) Archana Bora

In love!!

I want to wipe out
memories, but
I can’t!
You left behind
my life in shades of
gray and blue!!
Love feels sick now
and I know not
what to do!

Life feels empty,
worn out ….
and old!!

Kills me your absence,
I need you,
around me everytime!
You dwell in my heart,
deep in my soul…
for you I pine!

Killing me day in and out..
frustrated my heart
wants to shout!!
Help me God…
I want to be strong
I just fell in love…
and never did something wrong!

I cant do anything …
I love "You" so much!!


(c) Archana Bora

Love struck Me!!

I miss you…
my heart cries in pain!
Don’t know if ever,
will I see you again…

I miss the togetherness
of the serene evening walks …
and the sense of humour,
spiced up with saucy talks!

The look in your eyes,
drove me absolutely crazy… !
I accept I fell in love..
with you.. instantaneously!

Now I cant help thinking
about you… endlessly!!
And a love struck me…
yearns for you desperately..!

I know, Its me only me
who’s in love and cant let it go…
and I’m weary of the futile attempts
to settle my heart somehow!

I dont know if you
think of me the way I do!
But, I got no way out..
as I’ve fallen in love with you!

I know its not right
and this has no future...
But my silly heart
refuses to reconsider..!

I know am crazy about you..
And.. I love you a lot!

© Archana Bora

For you!! With Love!

There was a time
I was all
you wished to see…
No more the same..
time moves on..
and so do we!

I was no more
your desire..
you wanted to get free!!
You made me feel
non-existent..
You ignored me..

Left me alone,
my life burnt-out
and my heart bleeding and sore.
I thought I’d die
and cared not for
my future anymore!

Its been long…
I’ve survived!!

Memories linger still
of the moments
I cherish with you!
I stood frozen in time…
couldn’t ever change!
I’m not lucky like you!

Temptation (Edited)

I watch you!

Your masculinity,
intoxicating
like vintage wine!

Surges deep in me,
a desire to touch
your lips with mine..

Spellbound I am,
powerless to escape
the fatal attraction!

Temptation!

Fascinated and
mesmerised...
I watch you!

Your masculinity
intoxicates ....
like the vintage wine!
and my heart craves
to touch your lips..
with mine!

Spellbound I stand..
powerless to escape
your intense magnetism!
As I watch you, ..
surges within me,
a temptation!

Copyright © Archana Bora

Unbearably evident...

I know not…
if what am I writing.....
is out of hatred
or the disgust within!!

I know not why I behave
publicly, shamelessly
and intentionally rude
.... and later brood!

Why do I use bold typescripts,
or strong colours,
that supersede my emotions...
and sound vehemently vociferous!

I symbolize a haughty and
self-centered nature…
and a love to exhibit...
deplorable behaviour!

I know not.. If ever
would I part…
from this culture exasperating
to both eyes and the heart!

I know that the judicious never
brag and resent!
Its impossible to hide..
flair shows if present..!!

I see myself
as one of the noisy empty vessels..!



Copyright © Archana Bora

Insatiable!

I miss your touch,
your kisses and caress!
Am tired of the countless
complaining unshared kisses..!

Life seems
an undying desperation…
with each part of me
aching for you again!

My desires and dreams
lie neglected conveniently..
with tears and pain
I live my life silently!

An insatiable urge for you
is driving me crazy...!

Addiction!!

The desire for caffeine
exists no more!
With the dawn breaking
its you I yearn for…!

Wondering why
such a craving for you!!
Early morning in my bed,
why do I need some bit of you?

I long not for …
a cup of coffee or tea!
I reach out for you,
as desperate as can be…

Stimulating, tempting
and intoxicating …
The taste of you,
gets my adrenaline rushing..!

Nothing feels as
refreshing anymore..
I am addicted
to you for sure..!!

Ambiguity and My Life!

Killing me each day
bit by bit…
Will destiny ever let me
get over it?

Tired of leading

this ambiguous life..

I don't know till

when will I survive!

I avoid the mirror
I shy away!
Hiding my true self
I walk away!

Reluctant to look
at the faking face…
I feel comfortable
undeciphered in this rat-race!

Ode to a dead relation!

Perplexing issues and
few startling fights!
I felt our relationship
has lost foresight!

Your words hurt today
and felt unkind…
Emptiness filled in
the void left behind!

In distress I brokedown,
powerless to hold strong!
I failed to understand
what went wrong?

Maybe we refused see
beyond our need!
Expectations unmet
caused my heart bleed...

.. in pain and agony,
in a struggle for solace!
The relation expired
in a dearth of space!

Copyright © Archana Bora

You!

I try to escape
the thoughts in my mind!
I know its wrong,
Some things never unwind!

As I watch your masculinity and
remember your magical touch!
Lingering thoughts
make me crave for you so much!

The thought of your touch,
makes me turn pink!
My heart pounds,
and voice sink..

As you move closer to me,
my heart lets out a sigh…
Feebly I shy away,
as you look into my eye!

Overpowering my thoughts,
My calm and mind!
Unleashed emotions splash
like the wild tide!

Hungrily we share a kiss,
and you touch my bare skin!
The spark of love transforms
into a bonfire within…

Our souls bound together
and hearts set on fire!
We reach out for each other
to pacify the burning desire!

Love this emotionally ecstatic and
passionate interaction so true..
I can’t escape this attraction,
I feel bound to you!

I am crazy about you!!

A new day, a new thought

I finished up with daily chores and walked towards the bus stand. The sun was high and roads were empty but still today I was not feeling depressed and down, rather I was very enthusiastic and positive.

Random thoughts were running wild in my mind. I could feel my heart was fluttering and skipping beats. Maybe it was the dream I saw last night! Maybe it was something else. I was lost but I could feel… I was happy, very happy as if something wonderful will happen to me today!

There was time, I was ahead today and I am prepared, then why was I so nervous. Maybe the anticipation how things would go on today… I hurried up unknowingly.

The bus came, I boarded and there you were sitting as beautiful as ever. Exchanged smiles with you, and like everyday I sat next to you, thinking about us. Would I ever be able to confess my love to you or my life will go on with the same routine, I asked myself!

Suddenly I felt a warm touch and realised my wish has been granted. You held my hand and looked at me and said, “I love you”. Tears filled my eyes as I realised God has granted my wish.

I woke up. Still tired and willing to just drop into my bed, when I remembered your lovely eyes! I felt a surge of energy within and hopped out. Something told me today is the day!

You and My Broken Heart!

You crushed my dreams,
and walked over them,
leaving within me..
an endless mayhem!

Now, I stare at the letters
with endless loving words!
All seems hollow,
and it hurts..!

Each letter so precious..
so close to my heart..
Unknowingly I bear in mind
how they end and start!!

With no more thoughts
and no words to say..
.. I remember
how you moved away!

You even forgot, I told you,
I can never stay apart.
Without giving it a thought,
you broke my heart.. !!

I belong to you
and you are mine..
The love will never ever
change with time!!

My heart in grief
left just a sigh!
as I took the hard gulp
and rolled a tear from my eye!

Is this what you get in love..??
screams my heart in pain!
Left with the nothingness..
I feel I’ll go insane!

Love

Why do I feel blind?
But just you, I can see!!
Why I keep spinning endless yarn
about you and me?

Always in dreams
in a land of fantasy!
What makes me go wild
in ecstasy!!

Why do I dream
of a life with you!!
Why does this emotion
feel so true!!

Why do I hold onto you
with an unseen bond!
Why can’t I move off..
What makes it so strong!!

I let loose my heart
and passion free!
I no more hide…
I dare to be me!

In the sky of love
with you beside..
I soar …
With my arms open wide..!

Pain!

Grieving still,
my soul,
torn apart!
Lies unheard
the silent scream
of my heart!

Mauled under
the stampede
of my cruel destiny…
My desires disfigured
and the debris
left behind!

I can’t recognize …
all lie crushed,
under destiny’s wrath!
Worn-out and battered,
amorphous
they bleed to death!

I stand perplexed
with tears in my eyes
and infinite pain!
Just with a query….
Why did this happen?
Why do they lie slain??!

Cruel Rain!

As I walk
all alone in the rain!
In my heart arises
an urge, a pain!

Passion set ablaze,
makes my heart pound!
A mist of love
spreads all around!

As I walk drenched
in the falling rain!
I yearn so much
for you again!

Each drop feels a kiss
and ignites me within!
I miss the moments
when together we’d been!

I remember your eyes
that studied me elaborately!
As each drop caresses
my body delicately..

I ache for your touch and
To you my heart is bound!!
Drenched in passion
my heart cries aloud!

I miss you my love!!

A Heart Break

As we break up
and you walk off me!
My mind goes blank
and nothing I can see!

A sudden surge of pain...
My calm gives-up !
Resulting in an
unforeseen
emotional outburst!
My heart lies bare
heaving with distrust!

My lips quiver as
I take a hard gulp!
I stand numb
and dumbstruck.. !!

Rolls down a tear.. ..
out of hate and regret,
'cause you are someone
too hard to forget!

Transformation

An urge to leave the
old fashioned thoughts
for newer ones!

A want to shed
the worn out skin
of hopelessness!

To emerge victorious
amongst all odds
come what may!

Flowing nomore at ease
like the brook
My life seems
Eager for a new look!

A dream!

Delicately bound
within petals in my mind..

A dream is born,
a fresh rose bud...

I watch it take form….
So tender yet so strong!

As it grows in style..
I let out a sunshine smile

All I need are wings to fly!
and my dream can touch the sky!


Copyright © Archana Bora

Wait....

Ask me how much
I need you
how much is the urge
and how I miss you…!

Missing the way
you caressed me
and your lingering touch
dipped in love...!

It aches endlessly
and I cry in vain!
to be back..
in your arms again!

To relive the moments
that I miss....
warm in your embrace,
..in eternal bliss…!

Dipped in passion,
my heart, nostalgic again...,
as I walk down
the memory lane!

My craving desires
awaiting the moment
for the thirst within
to quench!

An ode to my dreams!

Grieving still,
my soul,
torn apart!
Lies unheard
the silent scream
of my heart!

Mauled under
the stampede
of my cruel destiny…
My desires disfigured
and the debris
left behind!

I can’t recognize …
all lie crushed,
under destiny’s wrath!
Worn-out and battered,
amorphous
they bleed to death!

I stand perplexed
with tears in my eyes
and infinite pain!
Just with a query….
Why did this happen?
Why do they lie slain??!

Ordained to doom!

I look for love
I find it in you..
Blinded with emotions
I walk to you ….
and surrender myself
to your love so true!

The Almighty above,
my cruel destiny…
and never stopping time…
drag us apart…
leaving me crying…
In desperation…
to return to your arms!

Fighting the endless tears..
and fatal separation…
leaves me exhausted
in this long run!
I crave for you…
with a heart full of pain!

An eternal wait..
a futile search!
In this world,
I realize…
there is a dearth..
…of justice to love
and honest emotions..

Separation

As time passes by..
moments kill!
Passing slow but steady..
As I hope it stands still!

I have no urge now ..
To live alone, without you ..
When, I have longed for so long
Just to be together!

Hope I have the power
to break this chain!
I try in vain,
My heart in pain…

A tear in my eyes
My heart feels hollow ..
A painful gulp
hard to swallow …

Trying hard to escape..
the moment when
we meet again..
Just to say a good bye.

Love

As I look at myself
I detest the sight...
To put a plastic smile
I strive...

My lost beauty..
leads me to believe...
Life no more
is a pleasure to live!

Your tender touch
I think
would be lost
with time!
And
The care
u showered
I assumed
will fade!

Its so long
we're together
I thought
I'ld lose charm!

I was wrong
I realise
as I look into
your deep eyes!

Love isn't superficial
nor bound to age...
No matter what life shows..
Love always stays!

Your love, I realise..
is enough for me to live!!

Emotions..

Dormant desires,
frozen Emotions
and an unquenched thirst!

A touch of your lip,
a nectar sip
and a honey bite!

Amorous me,
burns in passion,
am on fire.

Subconsciously,
I submit myself
to unspoken desires!

Copyright (c) Archana Bora

In Malice...

Fooled my honest heart,
and me..
I wish you get the same
what you have given me!

You played a game foul,
you will reap returns..
I hope your destiny,
takes the wrong turns!

I loved you
but love has died..
Just hope you face
the reverse tide!

Just wish in exchange
of each dream burnt off…
And the way
heartlessly you walked off…

May God show you
the days you led me to..
Without a way out..
to escape through!!

Love...

In frenzy
unstable my mind..
plays wild and
refuses to unwind!

I ponder for hours
on the unspoken queries
of my mind, my heart
and my soul!

If love is the reason
I try to assure this time
I realise
its love for sure!

Miss You

With an urge
in me so deep!
Lonely my nights are
I just can't sleep!

I miss the feel
I crave for your touch..
I miss you my love
I miss you so much!

Copyright (c) Archana Bora

Stressed emotions!

Cold faces..
heated emotions..
Heaped within
a lot of commotion!

Everyday
the turmoil within
becomes grave
and difficult!

I think
try to comprehend
steering clear
to avoid the clash!

You blurt out
the words I fear
and make the
situation clear!

I feel the
implosion within!

Copyright © Archana Bora

Superficial....

Treasured memories
gathered herein,
in the heart
sealed within!

Glued to the skin,
drowned in eyes..
No one can ever
decipher what lies..
..within my soul,
in my heart..
what are my dreams,
my inseparable part!

The inconspicuous
and hidden me..
beyond the surface
no one can see!


Copyright © Archana Bora

You and Me!

So desperate for you
so eager for your touch
How do I confess
I need you so much!

You and I
are fire and ice..
As melt in your arms
I close my eyes!

Volatile emotions
burning desire
Your touch
sets me on fire!

I love as I burn
in love in passion
I hope it is love
and not infatuation!!

My broken heart

It pains endlessly
It pains still!!

Unwanted, useless
so colourless I feel…
I wish it was
a dream.. not real!

Emotions wasted
on a selfish boor..
betrayed me..
and left an open sore!!

Like a dead crumpled leaf
my dreams lie..
dead, wasted and
conveniently disposed !

Copyright © Archana Bora

Endless queries!

Craving for attention
and for you always
walking endlessly
inside the maze!!

Each desire crushed to death
even before in heart
it could rise
and could breathe!

Is this love
sacrificing everything,
even happiness…
feeling like a vagabond
amidst abundance!

Maybe the privileges
and the love I shower
are much more than
what you deserve!

You snub my wishes every time
deny me even a hearty smile..
I wonder what made me
fall in love with you!

Copyright (c) Archana Bora

Undying expectations!

Expectations hurt
I realize
when dreams
fail to materialize!

I am sorry….
I love you as such
and from you
I expect so much!

My life feels devoid of
rhythm and rhyme!
my heart engrossed
in an endless chime..!

I realize what I am trying
not at all fine!
In a position awkward
I put you every time!

Banking on you
to fulfill my dreams..
trying in vain
to conquer unrealistic realms!

Copyright © Archana Bora

Loving you!

Seductively
you pull me close
In my eyes
desperation shows!

Am drawn to you
as close as can be
and your warmth
ignites me!

Leaving me limp
and pale in desire
and a burst of passion within
I feel am on fire!

You play with
my open tresses
and shower me with
endless kisses!

My hands grasp you
as the urge takes on
I know I want you
to leave for none!

I sizzle as
you touch me
and reach out for you
desperately!

Dipped in passion
your lips touch mine
like the creepers
our bodies intertwine!

Merged in warmth
moulded so close..
I bloom like
a bud of rose!

Bound together in passion
I watch you relishing
each bit of me!
We emerge content
of erotic desires
from the ecstatic sea!

In exhilaration
our souls
Relishing the proximity
lying close!


Copyright © Archana Bora

A wish to be yours!

I try to
find love desperately,
in your eyes..!
In urge
my mind sighs!

Your thoughts play
in my mind and
my fingers with
my ring finger!

My thoughts
enmeshed with yours,
I spin endless yarn
for hours!

I sit beside you
mesmerized!
Lost in a hope
refusing to subside..!


Copyright © Archana Bora

Lost in ambiguity!

My mind oscillates
between
the good and bad
fair and foul
right and wrong …
endlessly!

My life lost in ambiguity
as I make a choice
to take a stand!
Solving an
endless puzzle every time..
with each errand!

Poses as a riddle
chores of
my life every day…
I wonder
what to select
and head which way!
