Poetry by Joshua Cintron

Words for what you feel and can’t quite say.


Poems, sayings and reflections for a more honest, more human way of being.

A saying for today

Job security is a mirage in the desert. What looks like paradise can disappear in the blink of an eye.

Love & Intimacy

An Unbreakable Pull

No distance, no obstacle, nothing standing between them changes the pull.

Person silhouetted in a dark tunnel walking toward a warm amber light flooding through the opening ahead

Breaking Free

I Deposited My Life

The moment you realize you traded your life for titles, plaques and a paycheck.

Human Moments

Ten Sacred Minutes

In that hush between alarms, the room holds its breath.

Begin with what you need

Different paths. The same destination.

Choose the feeling that brought you here.
