She is standing on my lids And her hair is in my hair She has the colour of my eye She has the body of my hand In my shade she is engulfed As a stone against the sky She will never close her eyes And she does not let me sleep And her dreams in the bright day Make the suns evaporate And me laugh cry and laugh Speak when I have nothing to say
Paul EluardWe want to be, when we are young, A little man. I would like to be a big child, Stronger and fairer than a man, And more lucid than a child.
Paul EluardThe front windows as are the watchmen of grief - I've been looking beyond expectation - Beyond myself - and I do not know as I love you - Which one of us is missing.
Paul EluardThe language of my love does not belong to human language, my human body does not touch the flesh of my love.
Paul EluardI cannot be known Better than you know me Your eyes in which we sleep We together Have made for my manโs gleam A better fate than for the common nights Your eyes in which I travel Have given to signs along the roads A meaning alien to the earth In your eyes who reveal to us Our endless solitude Are no longer what they thought themselves to be You cannot be known Better than I know you.
Paul Eluard
