I Only Wish To Love You Poem by Paul Eluard

I Only Wish To Love You

Rating: ★2.6


I only wish to love you
A storm fills the valley
A fish the river

I have made you the size of my solitude
The whole world to hide in
Days and nights to understand

To see no more in your eyes
Than what I think of you
And a world in your image

And days and nights ruled by your eyelids.

Paul Eluard
