I’m a long handwritten love letter
Stuck trying to navigate
A world obsessed with
Instant relationship

Modern Love Dilemma
Author: E.A.Fussell
Florida native, poet, writer, artist, adventurer, optimist, lover of chocolate.
Robbing pieces of you
Worry
A little bit here
A little bit there
Adds up to a lot of wasted time
If something is bothering you
Fix it
If you can
And if you can’t fix it
Trust that life
Has your best interest at heart
Prayer works too
Give it to God
And carry on with your life
Worrying won’t fix anything
It will just rob you of joy
Fragment your mind
And waste precious time

Deciding to trust myself
I’ve been runnin’
No more foolin’
I hear You callin’
I’ll stop runnin’
It’s time to fly

Abundance in nothing
Ask for nothing
You will receive it all
Without disappointment
In the process
Universal intelligence will bring you
Wonderful abundant surprises
That would have gone unnoticed
While looking for something
Asked for

An artist’s hat
A fly upon
A felt hat upon
An artist sat
Exploring the brim
Not too close to the rim
As the artist drew
A limb or two

Reality revisited
All of creation resides within us
Otherwise how could we have a deep
Awareness of it
Not just an understanding
Because someone told us
That there is a universe
Somehow we know
There is outer space
Beyond what we can see
And more than that
There is eternity
Not just because we read it
But because we know it
At our deepest level of knowing
How can we know something
That we hav not seen
Because we have seen it before
In another life
Experiencing a different consciousness

Kingly battle
Two kings
Cannot sit
On one throne
Only one can rule
The stronger
May not always be
The better choice
But sheer brute force
Will often tip the balance
As ego
Muscles it’s way to the top
Our ego mind
Is like a brute force hellion
Set on being king
Of our thoughts
It parades ideas and beliefs
Wrapping them in emotions
Trying to make our heart
Believe that we are the stories
That tie identity to us
But that is
A mischievous untruth
We came here all knowing
As nothing
With nothing
No name
No Identity
No prejudice
No judgement
No possession
No obsessions
We came
As pure awareness
But our ego wants us
To somehow be more
It convinces us that striving
Is the best way
Doing this achieving that
Being better than this one
Doing more than that one
Creating distance and distractions
From who we really are
We are
Pure awareness
Un-conscious sub-conscious
Wrapped in consciousness
Encased in human form
All knowledge and understanding
Are already ours
If we are brave enough
To dive deep into our heart
And remember who we really are
If we put our ego mind aside
The Kingdom of God
Within us resides

Painful Pleasures
Eyes that could melt you
A smile that invited war
Legs long
Shoulders broad
Passion
Mixed with charm
His posture flashed a warning
Subtle but recognizable
Why did I always
Return for more

Paris Pirouette
This fountain is in the town square of Paris, Texas. I did a little dance around it today and well, let me tell you about it in this poem:
Paris, Texas
Ain’t no Paris, France
But I traveled through it
Earlier today
And can now say
In Paris
I have danced
Under a blue sky
In the middle of the day
The autumn leaves
Whispering in the wind
Watching me play
Around a 1927 fountain
To one of my favorite
Country tunes
That expresses one of my truths
I’ve still got a
Lot of leavin’ left to do

The Present Cycle
To see your future
Look at the choices
You are making right now
Choices made years ago
Yesterday
Or five minutes ago
Created the present you
Pay attention to
The present
It is the cause of your future
As much as it is
A result of your past
