A wish upon a star

A wish upon a star

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
"

Old dreams never fade away.

"
A  wish upon a star
 
Every night before I close my eyes.
 I whisper your name.
 
I make a wish to kiss your lips.
To feel the heat of your body.
 
I sent you a prayer.
A prayer you have found happiness.
 
I held you so tightly once.
But I saw the loneliness.
The hunger for the road in your eyes.
 
My wandering Angel was dying.
I drove you to the airport.
 
I watched as you flew away from me.
I whispered I would wait for you.
 
I knew when you set a wild animal free.
They will  never come back.
 
I drink the tequila now.
I run down Big Surf beaches yelling your name.
 
Sweet name to my heart.
 
I sit by the  bay.
After the tequila killed all my senses.
 
I dream I can see you dancing naked on the beach.
Whispering to  me.
" life is to be lived. Don'
t wallow in sadness."
 
You told me once you love me more than life..
 I will never leave you.
 
A sweet love can create a prison and a paradise.
 
I close my eyes.
I see my beautiful beautiful lady wandering the world.
 
I wish to have your hand in mine.
To take  long walks on the Monterey sand..
 
I'm waiting on the Big Surf beach.
I will  wish on the first star in the sky.
 
To be able to look into your eyes.
Tell you I love you.

"A wish upon a star"
coyote poetry,
This has the forever hope of young love; the optimism that was given an end but the heart dosn't know. Beautiful imagery of a wailing, hurting soul left to regroup and heal. Teqeula is the substitute for the sweetness of kisses and acceptance which were though a given. You appear to of written this a while back but memories can feel like they happened today. I hope that your soul has healed and things in perspective. Wishing you continued satisfaction and inspiration in life and of course your writing craft.
blessings,
Kathy

Beautiful. It reads like a story, and I can't believe you wrote this so long ago, yet it rings true today. Very descriptive, you paint imagrey in the readers head. Nice job. Here is my favorite line:

A sweet love can create a prison and a paradise.

Coyote, I think we all have someone like this.......These lines

"Every night before I close my eyes.
I whisper your name.

I make a wish to kiss your lips.
To feel the heat of your body."

I have been doing this recently as the one I love is so far away.....

This is so sad. It's pretty though, and easy to relate to because who hasn't lost someone they love? Might want to change the wording in "I drink the tequila now." because "the tequila" sounds a little awkward. Maybe just "tequila" would be better. There are also a few tense shift problems where you change from past to present.
