'To Give Painless Light' – A Selection of Poems by LJS

Poem 99: Lately Your Spell

lately your spell
seems to be
to spell your name
in a bright seam of stars
(above my head)
in the nights fine hide
points of light
that appoint the light
a constant
(looking up)
to the playing game
of hide and seek
my love
(of staying fame)
through this night
of doubting sorrow
try awakening now
(but gently now)
into this morning
to see my name
in the pale rain of stars
on your horizon
(level headed)
and as the sun also
rises in your mornings
first side
be it pleasing to say
(secretly)
my name
by your side.
