“A woman is more beautiful than the world in which I live; and so I close my eyes.” – Paul Éluard
“Larmes sont les pétals du coeur.” / “Tears are the petals of the heart.”
– Paul Éluard
Donnez-moi
Un homme
Whose tongue
Drips with honey
Éluard has had
His way
Avec moi
À plusieurs reprises
Verse that
Strips me naked
And leaves me
Pleading for
More
My knees
Wobble
Each breath
A labored
Entreaty
Even my
Sixth sense
Pushed to its
limits
Addicted to
Pleasure
Donnez-moi
Donnez-moi
Spent
I luxuriate
As his presence
Lingers
A prelude
Pour des rêves

Thank you Cindy. I cannot get enough of his poetry. Of course it doesn’t hurt my French to get the practice. 🙂
Very sensual are the words that came to me too Lea. A wonderful poem. I must look up Paul Eluard 🙂

Christine, I think you will enjoy him. I have been exploring French Poets thinking that would help me with the language. I really like his poetry. 🙂
