“A wish upon a star”
A wish upon a star
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
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 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.
