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.
