THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem


Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and 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 within 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?"


WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT
"THAT THE LOVE BETWEEN LOVERS KEEPS LIFE ITSELF ALIVE"
Two become One(sometimes)
Recognize them by the Light in their eyes
The ferocity of their friendship
Bright spark energies of delight
Dancing dervish exceptions to every rule..
......Separate them from hurt and hate,violence of power/
Domination,subjugation,submission/....
They sparkle with the delight of being alive
They are as individual as your DNA
As mutable as weather systems
As fresh as YES!and O.K!
They think and feel for themselves
Walking a path of peace and goodwill
Quick and fast enough to adapt
Find them on front lines(and @the back)
Quixotic quicksilver communities of spontaneity
Flash dances and Festivals..You know when you create joy
IT LIVES FOREVER...

...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.
