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?"


HERE (NOT HERE)

ON OXYGEN(WHICH REVIVED HER)
Carrying too much water weight
She floats in.She fades in/out/up/down
Her eyes twinkle when she returns.Tasting angel wings.
Half way to Heaven.She speaks from Deep .Snatches connect
Coughs and asks for liquidity.Surrounded by the love she gives.
Wine.Jigsaw Puzzles.Wheel of Fortune.Friends come by-
They sing to her.Share stories/poems.Remind her who she is
Her eyes a diamond light-she is Remembering.We are in her Dream.
Now we float in and out-like tides -of visitors.While she is here(hospice @home)-
we will each have a portion of her Presence.Her eyes are Stars of Water.
Breathes in ,deeper.Slips into sleep.Awakens..Skims the air like a bird.
Dips into the waters.Eyelid curtain closes.Opens,startled.Reassured

Her hand holds one tiny koala.Her eyes see white roses.

...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.
