Long Masterly Poems

Stood I there, that last day,
On an iron bridge...
An aqueduct by design,

of sweet benign!
All was stilled,...

My name is Bedford Schiller-Smith,
and you’ve probably seen it before
on the book racks in airport shops,

tech and spy thrillers are my bag,
but if you don’t’ recognize...

Like the remote edge of a fuchsia horizon, where gather racy, blue swallows.

I worked on clocks of all styles and sizes, repairing both old and...

By a bunch of flowers,
	When the virgin morning arise up there
Through the horizontal line,
I just can't wait the instantaneous
	Change from one rose to another that special 
Sacrifice of life and death.

	Ah, what a smell! What...

Natural soporific narcotic

Recurrent suicidal thoughts 
vaingloriously wend along winding road

Better be kind and compassionate than an evil man.
Better be a good man than a bad man.

Better live in the now than live in the then.

Stand straighter, and lift up thine eyes;
The wings of the sun sweep about us---
We, the gift of the earth to the skies.

We have done what the god has forbidden,

Jody was nine, her namesake calf
but newly-born, soon shorn
of his vitality, to be a steer
and hers alone, for just a year;
it was for both of them to grow, 
and know of love.  Thus

She exits the shower
As i towel her down
Her long blond hair
Skin so brown
 
With her back to me

To her breasts she cups
Our torso's close
