A wish upon a star

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

Thank you Kathy. Her name was Beatrice and I never felt sad. I knew. She was staying in Monterey for a short time. I appreciate the comment.

wow, this is very impressive! whats that saying...if you let your caged bird free, and it never comes back to you, it was never yours..or something to that extent....keep writing(:

You truly love something when you love enough to let it go.

Very beautiful poem.

[Reza Farahmand]

it's so sweet to have fantasy dreams about your beloved, and in your dreams you talk to her and tell her how you do feel. i believe love first begins inside us then we find the one. yeah, when the person(beloved) is gone her memories are still alive.

good job!

I read other poems of yours. I wonder if a hole has been puntured in your heart.

This is so beautiful. Setting the one you love free and hoping for their return, you captured every emotion on what it is like to let someone you love go.

this one makes me sad

[Bud]

Perhaps an older poem, but still a Master's work. Once love strikes ones heart it never leaves, only it leaves a yearning that lasts a lifetime. Outstanding work, Coyote.
