When I Try to Describe You
His smile gives everything away: the off-color white of his teeth, the widening eyes, the muted logic, all before he says her name.
Love isn’t always grand gestures. Sometimes it lives in the quiet moments: a whisper before goodbye, rain tapping the window at dinner, the warmth that lingers on your skin long after someone’s gone. This is a collection of romantic poetry by Joshua Cintron, written for those who deserve to feel seen, cherished, and known. If someone in your life loves you like this, share these words with them.
His smile gives everything away: the off-color white of his teeth, the widening eyes, the muted logic, all before he says her name.
I chased success, popularity and money when I was young. Then, she stepped into my life like a red rose and those dreams faded like clouds on a sunny day.
By moonlight’s silver hush, your words glow across the glass, and my thoughts drift toward you like tides pulled by a familiar star.
Golden bulbs sway softly over white-linen tables, casting halos on steam, while outside, the rain keeps time.
Between rest and routine, closeness and distance; a short love poem about the warmth that stays on your skin long after the morning goodbye.
