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!!"

LOVER'S DISCOURSE
in the bubble blood
heated
to boiling point
a
Republic for Two is voted in
an
"alien ,fictional world"
Here,serendipity
aligns each infatuation
until
two into one /makes for subtraction's soliloquys
Temporary
as tattoos,el enamoramiento
is
another language to the lost
Grandiloquent
soap opera Argentinians
Experimental
French,Catholic Italians and imported Irish
magnetically
attract/repulse,long for and leave
those
buried in relationships of pasts
Bones
in boxes of emotions tied with ribbons
give
off gases of past titles/borrowed plots of deliverance
Balzac,Dickens,Dumas,Plutarch,Celine,Proust
Best
if books are lost in dust.Bury your pasts!
All
plots are stolen,young Shakes!
Holinshed
is history to young lovers
Knives
and poisons end the stage
Dig!Hamlet
to Polonius-Q:"What is to become of us?"
A:"They
will use us (again)once we are forgotten enough.."
