Paul Eluard
LADY LOVE

She is

standing

on my lids And her hair is in

mine



She is the form of my hands And

the color of my eyes,


She is

swallowed


in my shadow
Like a stone against the sky Her eyes are always

open


And she does not

let me


sleep In the light of day her dreams

Make suns evaporate,


Make me laugh, cry and laugh,

And speak when


I have nothing to say.
