Poems by Carl Amedio

EXPRESSIONS NEVER MENTIONED

If a petal soft, fell from far aloft and settled
sweetly upon your brow.
Would you let it linger, such a tender finger.
Linger sweetly upon your brow.
And if the sweet perfume weaves on giddy loom
Creation`s blissful splender.
Could you partake, portions gently take Of manna
offered humbly to remember.
And if a visage gaunt were to meekly daunt
Expressions never mentioned. But chained within,
like fevered Jinn Remained forever silent
speaking of intention.
Would you pursue or shift shrewdly view Exposing
meaning bereft of composition.
Oh woe to thee who sup on bitter tea. Thinking it
is blissful splender.
Plan not to be such fluted melody. Play dirge,
quietus claimed as due.
Or chance the bitter tea, casting on the sea
The flotsam of intention silent speaking.
Fated course, steered with no remorse as petals
waft, the Jinn awaken.

DO THE LITTLE KINDNESS

Do the Little Kindness which fills our cups to
overflow and spill upon the hallowed ground deep
and gentle raindrops.
Feed the earth sustaining love. So peace may grow
and hearts may burst with everlasting ecstacy!
Do the Little Kindness, For each shall pass along,
Magnified, each upon the other. Until, like
streams into a river, A mighty torrent flows!
Do the Little Kindness for each is a gift from God.
A gift, when passed along is magnified
a thousand times. Do the Little Kindness for they
seek us where we least expect.
Soothing fear and lightening burdens!

TELL THE FATHERLESS CHILD

Tell the fatherless child, that sits in the
corner weeping, for the loss
Tell the child the pain is worth the cost
Tell the child 'bout the fears and anguish of
hell.
Tell the child that God loves the ne'er do well
Tell the child your prideful pretentious plan
of peace 'en love tell the child to submit it`s
life to mighty powers above. Tell the child
'bout Salvation Road, Pratt falls, Pit falls
warts 'en all. Tell the child 'bout sweat filled
tents 'en alter calls. Tell the child 'bout the
pride of sin 'en turning the other cheek.
Tell the child that salvation 'en inheriting is
for the meek. Tell the child anguish is love 'en
there is beauty in hate. Tell the child embrace
it, taste it, don`t waste it, it`s your fate.
Tell the child with haggered brow 'en haunted
eyes.
Tell the child your fables, false hoods and lies.
Tell the child 'bout strict obedience,tow the line.
Tell the child 'bout fruits and gardens, dark angels, fire, spirit sublime.
So brothers 'en sisters tell the child 'bout what
you can Praisinf, saving, blood of the lamb
'Cause way in the corner of it`s twisted little
room -a door, small one, white one, exit from
the doom.
So tell the fatherless child, tell it what it`s
missing.
Just tell the child 'Cause the child isn`t listening.
