She cocked her head back Until her eyes found my own Watered down, heavy as whiskey Sunlight trickling along her freckled face As though her skin were the Atlantic With a smile that hadn’t changed Since the birth of Sonic Youth “One begets the other It has to hurt If it’s to heal” -Sean P. Lennox, old friends • • • #spl #seanplennox #splpoetry #sonicyouth #oldfriends #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poem (at Vancouver Seawall)

It is not a curse to feel So deeply So intensely It is a cause for celebration Plum its depths Rejoice in its wisdom To feel: this is the basis of all experience To feel everything Intensely Deeply -Sean P.

Of all the signs, of all the flags I adhered to not a single one You used everything in your power To hurt me While I used everything in mine To protect you And still I stayed and I stayed and I stayed Because those three words echoed As they do for all who love And drowned out the screams of intuition But the truth is, sweetheart If I am to ever see you again I will bow my head in appreciation For you lifted the veil And pointed out all the voids I had yet to fill on my own -Sean P. Lennox, the one who loves you * * * #spl #seanplennox #relationships #love #lovepoems #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram (at Chilliwack, British Columbia)

Poetry has become a means through which I am able to cognize, understand, process, and release a great deal of pent up emotion, trauma, and hindering core beliefs that have been wired within me for as long as I care to remember. Beliefs and emotions which have shaped my life in a myriad of ways. Poetry is the fuel which drives my desire to generate self-awareness through introspection and to see just how the beliefs I have adopted about myself are the catalysts for what I experience upon my life’s path; how situations, relationships, circumstances, reflect back to me the source from which they are out-pictured... the way in which I perceive myself. I have spent the majority of my life, internalizing and working things out on my own; seldom would I express what I was thinking, let alone feeling to another, regardless of the bond. The majority of men grow up under the false pretence that we are not to voice, examine, never mind convey, our emotions. And the by-product of this being a gross misbalance of masculine and feminine qualities, hindering growth in a multitude of facets. Personally, for me, this unbalance, without any productive avenues to release it, lead to violent acts throughout my early teenage years and well into my mid 20’s. The more I suppressed what I was feeling, the less I felt; the less I felt, the less empathic I became. Looking back on all my relationships, this is made entirely apparent. This poem stems from my awareness of building homes in others, before I so much as opened the door to my own and felt what yearned to be. It has been through the practice—and I know a lot of people can relate to this—of making myself vulnerable, which has lead to inner breakthroughs and a core balance of universal energies. Through the act of poetry; through the act of accounting for my pieces, I am finding that I have always been and always will be... whole. * * * #spl #seanplennox #poetry #poems #vulnerability #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram (at Chilliwack, British Columbia)

5,280 seconds have elapsed (But who’s counting?) From entrance to exit And my eyes have scarcely blinked You breathe emotion into me through words Articulate their depth with your hands Move them about this room Stirring the innate within me With every nuance of your voice A breeze finds my neck From beyond the doors And beneath my clothes My skin dances upon itself Our eyes meet And I whisper through them “Your ability to be so defiantly vulnerable The transparency of who you are The attitude and humour you do not restrain The way you express what so many Cannot And help them to heal the wounds left ... this is the magic you bring to this world” -Sean P.

I think what I enjoy most about this city, is the night walks; peering up into skyscrapers, and observing people move about their light drenched space, amid a backdrop of darkness. * * * Shadows on walls This is what we are The cursive writing of metaphysical poets Written to feel the light of paper Through the conveyance of ink All the world is a romance This entire moment Is the dance of spirit Making love to matter -Sean P.

I am like a wave to the shore of eternity Carving into her my history Pausing for but a moment To feel the sun dance solely upon my wings The sea to which I belong Before my very eyes to witness And now the journey home Knowing what I am -Sean P.
