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?
YOUTH OF FLAMES/DUST OF AGE
RETROSPECT&NARRATIVE
Awakenings and dim the lamp
Contrast and the contradiction
Visiting hospital,then hospice
Ambulatory?Communicative?
Quick of fox ,slow of speech?
How much of this (you Remember?
You,too ,have been Witnessing
How he slows down .How she resents
To be Left .Alone.With only Age
No one to Recall(oily Days
Lamp still burns inside your eyes
Slower candle .LIGHT..
