"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?"
"AT LEAST HE LEFT DOING WHAT HE LOVED"
"HE WAS ALWAYS OF SERVICE TO HIS FRIENDS"
He cared for his gifted cat,other people's pets,their children
He would clean their home until it was spotless.
His last (and current)job was washing dishes.He LOVED washing dishes.
He was fully focused in every moment-living with no compromise.
He found a home among poets because he was made of love and pain and loss
His poet PAZ had passed,so he read Paz's poetry until reminded of his own he/art.
Lost child?Hurt human?At times,compassionate and kind.At times,Imperial Hubris.
So many sides to his addictions.He was passionate about learning.Obsessive
about GAME OF THRONES,Elton John,Lady Ga-Ga-and the Tarot.
Now his friends reveal how much they loved this lost boy/this naive waif.
His bombast in public hid a very private hurt soul.His eyes revealed him.
So many selves,all of them searching.May he have found his peace.
