"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!!"

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
are
written on cocktail napkins
when
we are not in our right minds
when
we have imbibed too much wisdom
and
spill our stains upon the wettened page
teardrops,spittle,alcholy
visions
OF
COURSE they are illegible
OF
COURSE you crunch them up and throw them away
like
every dream that comes unbidden
and(not
loved)cannot stay
Strangers
at your door eyes
Phantoms
@your windowed mind
Prism
in a throwaway verse
You
forget until you find!
