The Lost Call
**Each morning**, I lay wake hoping for your call.
Longing to hear that sweet voice that's magical.
Telling me of your everlasting love for me.
Speaking those words that bring pure rhapsody.
**Each afternoon**, I sit and wait and wait and wait.
Minute and minute passes until it's getting way too late.
Yearning I imagine your fragrances presence.
I day dream of your beautiful, magical essence .
**Each evening**, to the phone I make my wish.
To again hear your voice in a gentle kiss.
Only to find myself taking to empty night air.
Because again, you're just not any longer there.
**Each night** as I lay my head down to sadly rest.
I shed tears upon my pillow until sleeps arrest.
Within the hopes and dreams that I finally hear.
**That lost call from you that never, ever appeared.**
#feel free to make any suggestions
The return to my heart.
So very far from home and I am alone.
My hearts sadder by every beating tone.
The heaviness that I feel will not depart.
Until I return to you, keeper of my heart.
Yearning constantly for that which I left.
A love so treasures which is now bereft.
How can I survive this horrid emptiness.
Without feeling your soft, tender caress.
I cry in the night and weep withing the day.
A full bodied circle of a tear filled bouquet.
Tortured so, I work towards my ends goal.
To return to you, the caretaker of my soul.
Far from your warm arms and so terribly alone.
Take care of my heart, until I return home.

Third Eye
Hey guys it's quite a long time and I'd be writing a short poem, hope you all will love it.
Often our eyes fail to see
What lies beneath beyond degree
Easily held with outer reflections
Dying with our flinch of emotions
State of sub consciousness
Lest spaces of higher consciousness
Entangles with the outer surface
Often we mistake the true face
Black beneath white, reflects a grey
At times hunter becomes the prey
The strong falls weak apart
when the weak properly compact
Enraged feelings, hatred or jealousy
Look through the green eyed if envy
Colorless, coloured, hue or dye
None escaped the third eye.
Alicia.
Hello read.cash members and readers.. I hope y'all are good. I know it's being quiet a long time I posted here, like my poems and all that. Due to some reasons I've not been able to post.. But hopefully I'll be able to do that.
Just my thoughts about r.c
Hello all I am new to this "share your thoughts" community, and hope I am welcome here.
It's been all good here on the this great platform and I have really loved been here since you get the opportunity of earning bch that's bitcoin cash just from writing articles about different things.
Well for some time now I haven't been steady or let's just say I have not been really active here on read.cash due to some personal reasons, and I really wish and hope to be back on this great platform.
And I've been wondering why it's so difficult to get points here on read.cash even after our hard work, that's one thing that made me stay away for some time, we put in lots of efforts here and get nothing, no wonder I see less posts here, I guess people are getting tired already.
Hopefully read.cash will be back as it used to be. And I'll be so happy to post more here.
Hanging onto every word
While you do for me the be best you could ever do I can't believe I was that horrible you. I was a cruel person that I say it's true.
I thought I was protection you but apparently I hurt you. I'm sorry I hurt you and I didn't show you I can be there for you.
If I am being repetitive I'm sorry I just want to get this out. Eben if it's hot possible I'll try. This will all take some time.
I swore that I'd never hurt you like this but I've proven myself to be a liar. I know how serious it is, it hurts but believe it was a mistake. What I did I'd not who I am. It's not what I'm about.
All I seem to do is be mean and cold. Assumption and judgement and everything is a test. My mouth contradicts my heart and my actions and my thoughts so far apart. No matter what you do you're always second best. No matter how hard you try it'll never be enough.
I scream at myself at how stupid I am, I can't her your screams of bed and want and stability and trust. But I pray everyday that you never that I need you more than you need me. I bare my heart and soul toy you to say sorry for what I did and for what I do.
💔💔
Being alone.
**This is just a short poem.**
Sometimes we are all scared to be alone.
Don't always think you need a person for happiness or love.
Most of us are scared of love.
We say it makes our happiness but it truly doesn't.
You have to find what makes you happy first before you find lobe in someone else.
So it's okay for people to be alone, you may find yourself, and more of who you are and who you truly can be.
Of wind, sand and sea
In solitude I drift with the sand wind and sea. Not remembering where I started nor where my ending will be.
Thoughts shifting like the sands washed by the tide. Swirling memories of the past, by the wind they collide.
Impressions in the sand, the remnants of one's soul. Have all been windswept beyond self control.
Peering back over time, down that wind riddles beach. Vague recollections that are left disappear our of reach.
Stooping over to grasp of those fading remembrances. Only to have them slip away in the wind, sand twirling dances.
All of those things that were once close to me. Have all been swept away by the sand wind and sea.
Leaving thoughts of what I might have done differently. Causing doubts of spirit on mine own reality.
Blowing sand chastened by the wind frantically. Finally surrender allowing cleaning by the sea.
In this solitude I walk the sand wind and sea. Not recalling where I started nor where my ending will be.
Thoughts defying like the Sam washed by the side. Swirling reminiscence of the past to the winds now abide.
Hello.. Please why was my poem "in my dream" not approved?
In my dreams
There is this world I always wish and want to visit. A world full of surprises and full of happiness. Beautiful and colourful atmosphere and the reflection of nature. World filled with love and capable of laughter and so much joy. That is dreamland, Land in my dream.
I dreamt of you last night, your presence,everthing about you felt so real, It was just you and me in an unknown beautiful world. A world with pleasant surprising atmosphere, under the sun shining so bright and colorful you gave me a hug.
We were so deeply in love and so happy together. I ask, was it just an atmosphere or A love in our hearts. The kiss and hugs you offered felt so real. The warmth of your hands made me feel so comfortable. The smile you displayed gave me an infinite blush and smile.
Oh well dreams do actually come true, they say, this shouldn't come true, I want us to go and live there. Yes live in our dreamland.
Because i always want to see those beautiful smiles of yours.

We should keep moving
Hey guys I am new to "Motivation community" and I will like you guys to read my writing.
Life has not been very easy, the journey seems to be very long, like it will never come to an end.
Weariness and tiredness are almost getting us hopeless. We should remember that those dogs that ate the fattest bone,were the patient dogs. So we should be patient and keep moving.
Our battery of endurance might be getting low, our prayers might seen not to be answered or even heard.
Hardship and shame might try to draw us back. But we should remember that those that their strength were renewed, were the ones who kept or waited upon the Lord. So we should keep moving.
Eyes are dropping rains of help everyday, Many questions seems to be causing our mind.
Shortcuts are now almost getting our attention, because we fear for the things unseen.
But we should remember that, in life, shortcuts are sometimes the longest cuts in life, so be patient, keep moving and you shall excel.
***Thanks for reading guys, love you all.***

It Is Going To Be Okay
Because the spring wind has already begun to weave itself through my hair and it is not delayed by my sorrows
Because we were given this time to slow down, to allow ourselves the space it takes to breath deeply .......... Because the tightness in your chest is nothing more than fear.
Because there are people who hang onto every one of your words like they are clothesline. Because there are people who have counted the freckles on your skin like stars amongst an indigo sky and who love the way your nose crinkles up when you laugh.
Because you can always dance to old Taylor Swift songs on crackling radios; you can always sing along. Because you will be touched again__ your skin, your heart.
Because the earth is moving forward, and the rain will fall again, washing off the dust. And nothing last forever, not even this despair. Not even this uncertainty.
Because that first warm day the first of many is coming. And isn't the caress of sunlight on winter beaten skin a beautiful feeling?
And can't you see that all this proves, is that we have everything we need in the moment?
Never give up
You might get laughed at, you might be ignored,
And often feel trapped, and try to keep your thoughts stored.
You know people can be cruel and very mean, but no matter what follow your dreams.
Life has waves; we all know that.
But no matter what, stand brave and just take the crap.
You may feel exhausted and totally creamed, but no matter what, follow your dreams.
You should know what you want, and don't stop trying,
Quitting? No don't, keep trying.
I know impossible it seems,
But no matter what, follow your dreams...

The Green Leaf
There's young beautiful tree in the forest.
The green leaves begin to sprout.
By its shadow you can make a rest.
With a strong foundation and a deep root.
This is the nature that you've seen.
The tree will slowly, begin to turn very green.
The green grass spreads around the growing tree.
While the birds perch, rest and nest on a branch free.
As the rain poured the tree began to rise.
And the green leaf of this tree starting to fall.
Whistling by the wind leaf travel off miles.
And go very far blocked by no wall.

Save and earn money
Good day guys, it's a pleasure writing to you all.
So I'll be giving some points on how to save money and earn money especially during this hard period.
I know most of us buy food from restaurants or get the food delivered to our houses, and this is really getting expensive, it's more wise now to cook meals at home,try new recipes, and some of this food can be stored for another day, instead of ordering which is exp ensive.
Going out for movies are now expensive cause of the cost of tickets,you can download movies from some movie websites or DSTV, therefore spending less.
On the part of electricity bills, turning off some appliances you are not using at that moment would save you spending much bills.
To earn money there are some things we can do like:
Investing in Crypto currencies, though it might take some time and also it is very risky too, you just have learn it very well, but it does pay.
Using your writing skill to earn money, one good example is writing on @Read.Cash , here you get paid in bitcoin cash (BCH) , for writing articles.
In some countries now, there are stites that pay you for reading news, now you make good use of your data to make money.
I hope this really helps, please subscribe
Back home
We must not forget as humans tend to do, to be thankful for the way leaves come to rest on bubbling streams. And for birdsong.
For the wild way the wind weaves in and out of branches, and the delicate manner of cats as they stretch in dappled patched of sunlight.
We must not forget to notice the butterflies mosaic wings or the way the sky above us folds during the thunderstorm.
Notice too, how the mighty mountains stretch for years above us, silent, still, but they do not dance alone, for the sun peeks from behind then and calls us back to home.

Let's stay inside
**Please read.**
Life is not always easy and smooth, it is difficult and rough sometimes, The fear and trauma we are facing right now can neither be explained in words nor in lines,
Fear of losing people, fear of isolation and might be even fear of death, But believe me; we will get out of this, so for now, let's just have some faith.
Taking lives of people,keeping loved ones apart, I must say this virus is so mean, But there is nothing we can do other than keeping our surroundings and the most importantly our hands clean,
It is playing a game of hide and seek with us, and this time, it's our turn to hide. So, let's win this game, let it not catch us, so everyone, let's stay inside.
This is not only about Ind, if you save your life, you are saving the lives of people around you, So, let's stay inside and wish for this to end, and pray for the world too.
Have patience as I've day happiness will surely knock our door,
Cause soon the virus COVID-19 will be no more.

By many I might not even be rejected
But I am not discouraged!
Wrongly, I might be addressed

Searching for peace
Where is the peace that you long to achieve?
Maybe it's whispering slowly: forgive.
Where is the love that you wish you could feel?
Maybe it's shouting inside you: I'm real.
Where is the laughter? Where is the joy?
Maybe they're singing: let go and enjoy.
Where is the ending of all your tears?
Maybe it's hiding behind all your fears.
Listen! Just listen and then you will hear
All of those answers, you're searching, are near.
Silent... be silent and peace you will find
Open your heart... your heart, not you mind
When the Door opens
*With the crack of dawn,*
The doors are opened to knock on,
The air is breezy, eager to flock along,
For the summer at bay,
The elations of course all set to lay,
With the things bygone,
Still grasp your whims to hop on.
*With the crack of dawn,*
The doors are opened to knock on,
You to stay by the norms without a moan,
The earth seems cleaner,
As it healed a little from its fever,
Yet, bereft of the paucity,
Of the unkind humanity.
*With the crack of dawn,*
The doors indeed opened to knock on,
Not to let the filthy baits to reborn,
The cases yet spiralling upon,
You ought to be mindful for the rest to born,
Life is one, fragilely perched to cling on,
Relive the time you always wanted to dwell on!
This is my first article here, hope you love it. 🙏
