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.

ahhh what a sweet ode to lovers gone past here. sweet memories. oh don't you wonder if she came back in your life would it REALLY be the same again. maybe it's best to leave the sweet wonderful memories as such. but it makes for a beautiful poem. I was lost dreaming on the beach as i read this. I could picture it all in my mind. great imagery here. and thank you for a lovely journey here!!!!

It's times like these that we really need to learn how to appreciate what's happened as opposed to wallowing in what could have been. Just something I've learned: hold the moment while you keep your mind from the past (and future, for that matter).

Wish upon that star, Coyote.

This is a poem of feelings and letting go! We have to close the chapter of a book to be able to see and feel the thrill of the next, from it we will comprehend the beauty of life more than what we have known..

you have made the great decision, it hurt at first time u let it go but the moment you have done it, it will make u stronger.

Keep on writing please
i got to learn lessos from u

What a sweet, sad and tender love poem. Having to say goodbye to someone you love, its heartbreaking. This is wonderful.
