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!!"

REPEATING RITUALS

without this next breath

no sound,no word,no line

without these typing fingers

nothing.i have tried

to be as new as now

but that was long ago

and far away are fires of pasts

now scorched earth.Enough!

Habit keeps me here

i think i will repeat myself

i think i will repeat myself

ME&THE (FOOL)MOON

Well-we have a relationship

You say she is cold  and old and distant

that she shines in borrowed glories

that underneath it all

she is just another spinning rock in space

So Be It! LOVE EVERYTHING!
