Inspired By A Marc Bolan Poem

Introduction

I am sure that in my teens I read a poem by Marc Bolan that started thus:

In a dark dank cove by the wheels of time

Dwelt the wild winged avenger Nagbodoth Slime

Possibly Marc Bolan

I am unable to find any trace of this on my Tryanosaurus Rex albums, though I thought John Peel had read a poem; the only one I found was "Kingsley Mole" from "My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows", which I used for a plagiaristic poem here:

Kingley appeared in "Romany Soup" on the album "Unicorn"

I found a copy of Marc's "Warlock Of Love" as a PDF, which you can check out here:

While this post has wandered off, I wanted to write a poem that emphasised the relentlessness of time, or the wheels of time:

The music is "Time Captives" by Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come

So here we go

🕰️⚙️The Wheels ☸️f Time⚙️🕰️

☸️⚙️🕒⌛⚙️⌛🕰️⚙️☸️

The Wheels Of Time Always Turn

Ever Moving

Always Turning

Never Stopping

Wheels Are Grinding

⌛⚙️⌛

Lives Destroying

Pinwheels Going

Noises, Turning

Moving, Turning,

Grinding,Going

⌛⚙️⌛

The Wheels Of Time Never Stop

☸️⚙️🕒⌛⚙️⌛🕰️⚙️☸️
