Flaming sparks residing in my skin
When their men arises -
blazing heat
Sleep tight, sleep quite; in deed
Giving away, a way, away
They dream inverted…in tense
Making flush and blush and red and pink
I Stand
…Bent to lean…
A tug of war
But;
In stead we push.

This poem seems like a hodgepodge of words that actually fit really well together. I like it. The last few lines are what really caught my eye. This is what I found. You're saying that usually in the game of tug of war, you pull. In this instance, you're pushing. That could mean anything from the fact that you may be a hipster to you trying to find yourself by trying new things. It could also mean that people have told you all your life that you have to follow by the rules, but you decide to rebel anyway. Why not? I really like this. Great job.
