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.

[Signet]

You told me once you love me more (than) life..
That's the only mistake that caught my eye.
Otherwise, I think it's a brilliant poem. :)

[Jess.]

So beautiful!

[Cheyenne]

This is wonderful! It tells of the pain of letting someone you know you have to let go go and having the hope and almost selfish need for them to come back!! Another great write :)

[Haifa]

"I knew when you set a wild animal free.
They will never come back."

Beautiful and sad. Love is such a difficult thing. You're exactly like, it can be a prison and a paradise. Sometimes all at once. Nice work.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Wishing on a star is always a great metaphor because those things that mean the most have no boundaries... different for you but great. Delightfully melancholy.

[Atheana Kylee-S. C.]

Sweet poem, I can feel that you put lots of emotion into it. :)

[Star Wolf]

This is kinda sad and sweet at the same time. Memories of someone you love is has gone from your life what ever the reason can be sweet and painful. But you don't want to forget them.

[Huggy Bear]

It is fantastic and this past poem shows the range and imagination you possess in your present-day poems:)
