Bliss
I'm waiting comfortably
Comfort glues the world to me.
Everywhere,
And everything.
I peel the layers as I glee.
Comfort mends my broken smile.
Everyone,
And all the while.
I hear the songs sung from the wild.
Comfort is that last sweet kiss.
Silently,
Upon the lips.
I feel the drift of perfect bliss
Calmly close your eyes to fear.
Remember,
Remember,
Comfort that is always near.
Patiently sit back and wait.
Silence,
Into your mind,
Comfort's at the gate.
Quickly to the bridge ahead.
Moving,
Past your doubt
No more to dread.
Strongly pull the bars of fate.
Comfort,
I presume,
we have a date.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.
