Long Secluding Poems

Start and end each day,
and life,
with a taoist egg.

I doubt my eggs are religious.

No, but they are natural,
organic incubators, 
co-arising nondual yolk form
with transparent regenerative function,
cosmological purpose, maybe,
if you're a chicken,
or a turkey, 
or a...

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

I’ve made a career of writing,
tech and spy thrillers are my bag,
but if you don’t’ recognize...

A waxing crescent moon shed a sliver of mystified light on the silhouette of the lonely shadow of a woman. 

She sat cross legged on a chunk of hard Earth overlooking a circular abyss of...

blood ridden cesspool in disguise 
of a heartfilled warm american surprise
divided we fall lets take the dive
together we stand so run and hide
better off dead than alive
filthy redneck hick american pride
do these yuppies fall short

It all came back to me
When the winds of yesterday
Crossed over my mind.
Bringing sweetness in the heart
Delight and enjoyment.........
That you are well after many suns and moons.

To my remembrance

Strange sedition stealthy sets 
cloaked in artificial greening phiz
some by prejudice inquiring, 
“Where are you from”?
others in feigning frame avoiding,

Though harmless your looks.
There be those secluding, 
choosing space dodging.
deliberate speed the...

Shame and fear flowing threw my veins,
Seeping in my blood, killing me and discarding my remains.
Memories dragging me down, leaving me tainted,
The presence of evil breaking me, my soul dark and wounded.

Staring at my shredded...

What does S stand for
Not the best of meanings
Let's learn a bit more
And with synonyms, I'm teeming

Sinister, Satan, Snake
Someone who's fake?

Stressed, Stirred, Spite
Somone not feeling right?

Serious, Strict, Stern
Someone who's firm?

Secluded, Shut-in, Strange
Someone thought to be...

One who will always be there for you

I want to be an honest man

step backward from this fixation
when you weren't
an addiction
step back even further
to a time where we'd pass by-
a glance, 
hello
that was it

and then nights never ended
and this love we pretended
it was us against the world
4 months...

The fog has come around my house tonight
From length to width a decorated dress
The scenery is shocking to the sight 
Secluding every bone to lay and rest

"What shall I do", pondered my thoughts to ask
Inside...

Still is the night and dark is the day.
Marked are the chosen to show you the way.
Evil unleashed on the world a game..
Survival of the fittest the virus to blame.

Like dodging a bullet but no...

While homo and les merit its age 

Marriage is for guys and girls

To fill the earth with godly pearl

Hello, marriage it is restricted for man and woman 

Homo and les...

Expressing truth is a gift, but is
often shadowed by corruption 

We see the world through filtered screens
that impair our judgement 
Of how she smiles, and how he laughs

Withered children grow from sickness
as their hearts slowly...
