"Schemer's False Dilemma" by Skydolphin

Now here is a poem to chew on! It is filled with wonderful contradictions and I have to admit, I needed a dictionary to understand some of the words... a challenging read. This poem hit home for me. I felt as if I was being spoken to directly. I was stripped of my protective coating. My personal interpretation in simple terms goes like this... Posting my work is a great experience of self-discovery yet I must look within to see beyond. By not taking responsibility for myself, I am demanding. I am willing to be hurt by your fear and touched by your power which creeps into my soul. I join you, understand you, and relate to you. I accept myself in your image. Here are a couple of Skydolphin's contradictory phrases to wet your tongue - ("betray myself with a kiss") and ("a sinner in love with innocence") amongst many others. I feel her work needs to be read slowly with frequent pauses for inflection. I am curious to hear how others were affected by this poem.
