"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!!"

ALCHEMY
Tall,thin,wizard like-alchemist
He
took mud baths but was not interested
in
transmuting lead in to gold
(Lucky-lead
is almost as expensive as gold these days)
Egyptian
Healer-explained that Pharaoh training was physical
as
well as psychic and spiritual
That
they had to run between Karnak and Thebes
and
last three days in a sarcophagus
Photographer(professional),mountain
climber,racing car driver
Sold
his pix of one country to the next
in
order to see and sell more.Regrets
the
loss of his avalached friends
He
who danced naked @Delphi for Apollo
Sweated
Dante in original Italian
with
the spirit of original declamadores
Gave
full passion to his Moon Muse
Musician(violinist)thin,tall-played
all night
just
for the joy of it.Gave his all
asked
nothing but the air and space
Still
flavored via his harmonies
And
those still brave enough to seek the streets
To
make cures,elixirs,solutions,remedies
There
are never any guarantees
But
you will only know if you try.
