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.

It's what an old soul says to a new soul, one they love. Unfortuantely when they say it they alreay know it will not be returned. Time, it betrays us all.

Such a tragedy. Beautifully tragic. Why don't we learn?

[Kasey Jones]

Wow. This is great. I like the comparison to setting a wild animal free. It's descriptive and passionate, which makes a great poem.

[CherryBomb]

It's a real good technique that you deliberately or use unintended. Combining the 'dream-like' images with those of the real world (Say, "My wandering Angel was dying" is very poem-like and "I drove you to the airport" is a common expression). I can spot the same in most of your poems and that's what makes it all the more special. Not every poet dares to combine these two, at the most, not me. This poem deserves a 100 and an applause =) Keep writing.

this was really good. First time I see that it's about some guy wishing to see his love once again, and the lady is not there because she is "free" wandering around. Very differently themed. Great job, and good writings to you!
