Poetry by Gigi Guizado
Salsa y reggaeton went silent
No soundtrack to my dreams
Don’t know what it means…
My soul was lonely
I surfed
and thought moonlight becomes you
drawing me closer
as if I were the tide
You have trouble sleeping too
Don’t know why…
Sometimes you make my heart sing anew
like light sparkles on the water
Or hips, feet, arms entwine
keeping time on the dance floor
Don’t see you much anymore
in and out like the radio
on a country road
…
Your rhythm stays with me
like the shore recalls the sea
Moonbeams shine on all things
solid, liquid, no matter the distance
More faithful than sound
face in the sky sings his silent lullaby
Sandy-eyed memories rock me to sleep
Dreams are the drumbeat of motivation
