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.

This is voiced in a superb manner!

Awesomely intensely sweetly and heavily described.

You told me once you love me more then life..
I will never leave you.
A sweet love can create a prison and a paradise.

deeply defining lines that
love is like a prison when that person is away from you, you have nothing to do rather then just crying for your love.
and when that person is near, close to you. Your world is like a paradise of love. You have everything when you actually only own that person.
Thank you!!!!!

This is a 'you' poem and is just so full of love and longing it's utterly beautiful. There are lines in this that make the toes curl and the spirit dance,

'I dream I can see you dancing naked on the beach.
Whispering to me.
"life is to be lived. Don't wallow in sadness."

How very, very true those words are
