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)

SOFT
Born into rectangles-cots,hospitals
yet through soft canals
knowing viscerally the truth of oceans(littoral edges
So when the lie of skylines hides its Light
and makes do with police light,flash light,street light
a little moth brain buzzes"why?

Body remembers rivers-bloodstreams,Dali,Magritte,umbrellas,clouds,apples
Bodhi knowledge is a Library of Skin Experiences-angels,daemons,Despond,Revelation
Body is the Treasure Chest Truth that unlocks temporal time-tuned cages of Eternity Birds

So if you ask-DESERT? or CITY?(both are one
Sex -or Celibacy(both included
Data Thieves Steal Memories(but your Body Remembers-
Gentleness.Softness.Caress.Serenity.Peace.
From Cave Womb of Deep Knowing,all else is Context/Comparison


You Do Not Need To Ask(You Already Know...

...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.
