THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling writes: 

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

THOUGHT EYE FELT E  MOTION
MOVING  BODY WISE,FELT I'D BETTER
move it through like tides.If eye rested on my laurels
pain would not subside.So eye kept on moving moments
releasing all inside.Shiatsu?Feng Shui?
Acupuncture?Acupressure?Never sure where chi
and pressure points linked in me-so i carry this body as reminder.
When i feel painful thoughts-it reacts(of course!
Like a pin in the balloon of bad memories
When i release,it feels relief.Think i will carry it with me
So when we relate,with empathy i will take
this reminder of red pain ,blue healing,green dreaming
rainbow valley meditations-always in this Temple Skin
until the leaving..

hmmm

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
