I have ridden on a hell bent comet
Its fire plumes burning the bridges
I left behind,
The asteroids, which followed behind
Had the names of Gods bringing the karma
Of things not so kind
A star of redemption came out of the sky
Shining bright with a truth, my icy cold eyes
Could not recognize
A path laid with lies
Would not be easily rectified
With truth and light
Star of the icy cold
Can you burn away all I know
which was forged upon the burning coals
My inner fire increased much higher
than the stars'
Taking it to the degree of supernova
In hindsight I felt I did not deserve
the truth and light, so I sabotaged myself
Continuing on my destructive flight
Not knowing where to disembark
I closed my eyes taking the leap of faith
How cliché, but there was no other way
Pushing away from the star
knowing we would destroy ourselves
Like a horrific wreak
Between two opposite traveling cars
I found myself distant and filled with strife
For the need of the bright shinning star
It was I who began to lose the flame of life
Suddenly I realized I was but a speck
An insignificant half of nothing
Which needed the half of something
A half that would be the full circle
Of my Ying and Yang
the core strength of my qigong
The reckless course I was on quickly changed
to my cold heart the flame of life
Did return
Now here I stand naked with my truths exposed
Before all the world to see
Who I could truly be
Funny,
But it was loves comet
That finally set me free

Interesting subject
and your poem touched me. One nitpick, drop “very” in line 7.

I have to come back to this
I have to come back to this again, but I was pulled through. You had me riding the comment with you.
Mela,
not easy to get off huh?
but our inner truth, demands it.
I am happy that you were captured with the words, and for that I thank you!
sometimes it's not easy to convey real feelings. When someone gets it, that is where the reward is.
Eddie
I love this comet ride and
I love this comet ride and the inner truths you are penning in this long write, I so enjoy the longer ones as it shows someone thinking enough about one theme and then weaving it carefully. Nice job.

thanks for stopping by to read!

Ed,
The metaphor that you use here is very well used. Some might say over-used.
Having said that, you have done it justice. The journey from your emotional past to present that you take us on is excellent. There are some extra words that you should imo cut out, but I leave it to you to decide which ones they are. Suffice to say that there are some words here that are far to passive for such an active write.
The imagery you evoke is extremely good, imo, as is the strong emotion your words elicit in me, and I feel that with another hard edit to strip away the extras, this will be even better than it already is.
