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 s l e e p In the

light

of day her
dreams
Make

suns
evaporate,
Make me laugh,

cry and laugh, And

speak

when I have

nothing to say.
