WWW. WARBLINGS:
If words were wishes & wishes were words, & I
could wave a magic wand, I would wish you the songs of the wintering birds. My
words would wend their wonderful weaving of webs spun in watered silk, as
smoothe as whale’s milk. I’d wish you midnight wishing-wells, reflecting
willful moonbeams; angel´s whispered wedding dreams upon your weary bed. I
would walk you through wonderful woods where woeful witches wave wands of
wonder dust, where warlocks do their wanderings, & wizards weave their
wizardry. I would will you to wade into
waters of rivers wide & streams cool, where willows dip their emerald
fronds, tickling toads in secret ponds. We would wonder at whiplashed rocks
where winsome nymphs pray & womanly mermaids play, leaving only wisps of
myth´s hair upon the stone & long gone songs lingering on the whispering
wind. I would wish you the ancient words of white winter wolves, of wallabies,
wombats & walruses, of wallowing hippos in water-lillied holes. With
wistful whispers we would watch wafting wild waterfalls cascade willy-nilly,
falling into waiting pools way, way below.
I would worship you free from writhing wasps & wriggling worm, from
painful wind songs where wildebeest roam, from the wailings of whipped whelps,
& if it helps, I’ll wrap you in the wrinkled skins of shelled whelks, &
whisper in your tender ear, the ancient hymns of wind chimes clear. hand in
wanton hand we´ll wend our weaving wanderings, from Woodstock to wonderland,
treading forest floors of willow bark & mottled wattle, beneath a canopy of
foliage in winter green & apple, hugged from dust motes of whirling heat. Wishing
would lead our meanderings alongside bubbling brooks, gurgling streams &
webbed-footed whirlpools to quench our weary feet. Wafting past our senses,
wood smoke & wisteria, chanting, mystic druids, howling wolves, wasps in
spring hysteria. We´d hear beyond our ear-wigged deafness, wooden-fluted pan of
cloven hoof, his wilting woe-begotten tunes of woaded past. Let us word our way
past whittling woolen lads & willing wily lasses, through whistling breeze,
under shivering trees. I would find
words to take you through windows
curtained in green willow, softly billowing to the tune of spring
breezes, dressed in floral friezes,
while your head lies upon the dreamy
pillow of lost childhood, days of willowy skies, womble eyes, whippets & whippy
ice-cream smiles. Wishes would weave windmills of warbling wrens, wingtip to
wingtip with sipping, dipping humming birds, bejeweled feathers dew-kissed with
the dawns of centuries past. My wishes would kiss the waves of seas, lashing
& splashing, of lakes as still as death´s breath, of tropical isles &
exotic trees. My sacred words would wash you in crystal white wine, & I
would wend you down lanes of love divine, past Wuthering heights & withering
glances. My wishes would whisk you swiftly away from wimpled nun preaching the
woeful benefits of having none, away from wailing trees, from spiders weaving
sinful webs & the stings of spiteful bees.
Take my hand, & leave behind weeping widows weeds, let us go towards
the horizon & plant life´s new beginnings, so that we may reap loves new
flowering seeds. We shall find the
utopia of no pain, where only love resides, to where only the gods remain. Take
my hand through these words, & let us make these wishes come true by one
stroke of my errant wandering pen.
