A wish upon a star.
A wish upon a star
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Old dreams never fade away.
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 woman 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.

Something lost cannot be found again. Old poetry and old memory. Today its is a good memory. It feel like fiction when time make all acts of love wonderful. At least we tried. Thank you for the comment.

That was so truthful. It hit me hard.
A sweet love can create a prison and a paradise.
What a beautiful summation of love and what truth is found in that one seemingly simple sentence. But, it really is not simple at all, is it?
Thank you for sharing this poem.
