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!!"

LOSING MY SENSEI

Eyes now need glasses to read

Ears hold selective hearing

Memories,too,are edited 

Banishment,diminishment

Want to full screen-TV /iphone

Want to sing/scream-Noise Pollution!

Wish to eat yet taste is hidden

My body's nets and filters rhythm

You see me half when eye feel hole

You know fractured fairy tales

Rope bridge between us frayed,torn,tattered

Quicksand time draws me vortex  down

If only some of senses are working

how intuit Matrix bound?

Inside the cage,bird sedated

Outside-wide wings /no hesitation

Only ever particle fragment

Sappho ,Heraclitus,Dead Sea Scrolls

If we take up so much space

when will time make us fully whole?
