Random Poem:

hand-made paper.
varun

green, blotted on yellow paper
 1
and two red ribbons crossed-
 2
here you are, in my world, inked.
 3
 
 
i have hidden in all shadows
 4
of our friendship, slept in the cradle
 5
of your grace, been lighter from weight.
 6
 
 
in the collapsing walls of solitude
 7
   i can never hide my disposition
 8
      behind these half-closed eyes-
 9
 
 
you see the smoke swirls,
 10
   see the frantic, nervous hands
 11
      gripping every moment tighter.
 12
 
 
you know my name well.
 13
you know where i am.
 14
  always. like blue ink.
