A wish upon a star.

Rewriting some older poetry.

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 whispered your name to the goddess of the sea.
 

I make a wish to kiss your lips to the first star of the night.


To feel the heat of your body.

 

I sent you a prayer.


A prayer you have found happiness.

 
I held you so tightly once,


and I saw the loneliness in your eyes.


The hunger for the road in your voice.
 

My wandering Angel was dying and


I drove you to the airport.
 

I watched as you flew away from me.


I whispered I would wait for you to the sea and
 

I knew when you set a wild animal free.


They will  never come back.
 

I drink the tequila now and


I run down Big Sur beaches yelling your name.
 

Sweet name to my lonely 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 and


I see my beautiful beautiful lady wandering the world.
 

Tonight I wish to have your hand in mine.


For us to take  long walks on the Monterey sand..

 

I’m waiting on the Big Sur beach and


I will  wish on the first star in the sky.
 

To be able to look into your eyes.


Tell you I love you still.

There are some people we love that we never stop wishing to see them again. I have one such person and I’m fortunate that even though we live across the country from each other we still talk a few times a week. He’s very much a grounding force for me and a place of comfort. Oh love and it’s trials and wonders

Yes dear friend. I lost Beatrice. We shared letters for many years. Thank you for reading and the comment.

How beautiful yet so sad John ...
Memories are for a reason, they hold fast the things dearest to us that we no longer have in our lives and allow us to re-create moments like this one.
Beautiful words for a love that still blooms...

I agree dear Stella. Thank you for reading and the comment.

one sided loving is one of the worst of human conditions .. it takes so much from the lives of those who are on the giving side ... one just has to let go at some point .. i see so much sadness and tragedy in your write :(

Great poem with full of love and sadness. You truly loved her so much, you can feel it from the poem. We meet people and sometimes we lose them. But they are not so far away as we may think of it. We can find them in our heart and in our mind. Sometimes there will be a bond too strong to break no matter life brings to us.
Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you dear Sarah for reading and the comment. In a long life. We must release what we adore.

The free bird never returned. Freedom is too needed and wanted. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.

it's rather sad she never came back
was it through past experience or just a piece of your mind
