A wish upon the star…
A Poem by Coyote Poetry
Old dreams never fade away. 
A wish upon a star…
Every night before I close my eyes.
I whispered your name to the goddess of the sea.
I make a wish to kiss your lips to the first star of the night.
To feel the heat of your body.
I sent you a prayer.
A prayer you have found happiness.
I held you so tightly once,
and I saw the loneliness in your eyes.
The hunger for the road in your voice.
My wandering Angel was dying and
I drove you to the airport.
I watched as you flew away from me.
I whispered I would wait for you to the sea and
I knew when you set a wild animal free.
They will never come back.
I drink the tequila now and
I run down Big Sur beaches yelling your name.
Sweet name to my lonely 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 and
I see my beautiful beautiful lady wandering the world.
Tonight I wish to have your hand in mine.
For us to take long walks on the Monterey sand..
I’m waiting on the Big Sur beach and
I will wish on the first star in the sky.
To be able to look into your eyes.
Tell you I love you still.
