Paper eyes
Trace my steps
With a dusty smirk
In every joke I tell
A cracked smile
For a miserable lie
Sheet embraced in white
that mourn its transparency
A poster grafted
On a litmus wall
Budding on red
Waiting on blue
Stagnates in rhymes
of a perpetual hue
A Blind Bird 
“A poster grafted
On a litmus wall” – mega like 🙂

Wow! beautifully written, I love the last line/metaphor (paper eyes) and the last stanza:
“A poster grafted
On a litmus wall
Budding on red
Waiting on blue
Stagnates in rhymes
of a perpetual hue”
