Flinch Poems - Poems about Flinch

I see you flinch, but the universe spins without aid, Beloved, our world dances in circles, yet we anchor in place. You forget the shadow and the years shift, like a play changing its set, Beneath branches waiting for rust, beneath leaves that will fall in the end. Trees sway their sorrow to the touch of gentle dawns, And in...

You ask me- why it is, that I flinch ? With every sudden movement , that I don't see coming. Like I expect to be hit . It's a leftover reaction . Like a residual tic. A predetermined mechanism physically attempting to defend my physical self. For at the hands of another, my body has been beaten ,...

A splendid job you did clinch: One helping you to others pinch; And warn them to not move an inch, Freely going mad when they flinch, Half hoping to a life lynch. It has been your dreamt role: To strokes of the cane increase; And where there’s none try a pole, Causes giving faces to crease; The inhuman you unleash with ease Of mounting pressures...

Love does not flinch, if beguiled look away Heart aglow, to music divine it sways Veering not off course, even by an inch Seeking no victories, it needs to clinch Vibrant emptiness, lets God have His way Each cell and pore of form, devoutly prays Gods love and light the all, as our mainstay For vaporised presence, this path a cinch Love...

Flinching affirms my humanity with its frailty And confirms my uniqueness midst flinch-inflicted diversity. Topping my flinch-cause which oblivion can’t subdue is tooth prophylaxis Surpassing every physical pain I have experienced of gruesome crisis. Next, I admit my emotional flinch that gives me heart torture Whenever I see my special child seized with epilepsy’s spasm-gesture. Academically, I can’t forget my flinching...

WHAT MAKES ME FLINCH Flinch verb- draw back in pain, disgust. I’ll tell you what, does that. Lies, centuries being promoted, disgusting as … a rat. Snakes, spiders and yes, roaches too, will see me scale a wall. Yet find nothing as disturbing, as lies … these get my gall. Churches should have been teaching truth, with Bible this I’ll do. Bet taught, Soul’s something inside...

“What Makes You Flinch” What makes me flinch? When someone trips on flat earth, And frantically looks around Hoping that no one, no one at all saw What had just happened But everyone did. That makes me flinch. When I look at my schedule, And realize that everything Has been booked for the same day And that I have to change my plans And let people down. That...

What activates my reflex arc And causes me to shiver? Which stimuli come into play To set my nerves aquiver? At home alone at dead of night A creak will make me skittish. My lower lip begins to drop In fashion quite un-British! * And should I inadvertently Whilst in the garden walking, Be tickled by a spider's web The shock will leave me balking. Don't mention...

Surging like electricity to the esoteric abyss of my soul, felt in all body parts, the flinching brought to the shoal. Even the slightest stub of a toe, a beloved child in distress, causes bile to roil and roll, the bowels of my heart in duress. Likewise the agony of a pet - the suffering shrill, painful howl. As a...
