“Untitled”
It’s the only thing I could think of
For you said we have a story
How can I name something
That’s only just begun
Vinnie Brown Aug 2018
Looking for providence
In the areas of hellfire and ash
Strung along four walls
For my humanity is up for grabs
Where my insanity seems to land
For I am hellishly filled with self doubts
And these words aren’t necessarily poetry
Just mere poetic venom
Seeping to the core desires of my whims
Amongst the rolling hills of sin
With sea salt licked sympathies on the rise

We dread that feeling of, oh, so low
So empty, broken, and never home
Let’s never venture to that horrid place
Where love has no trace
And I would cry and you would too
Neither one of us would know what to do
On the horizon comes a storm
We can win this fight, just hold on for one second more
So, hold my hand and love me true
These endless cataclysms will make us ever so confused
But, just stay right here side by side
And we shall be safe and sound
At the end when everything finally makes sense

A couple dabs of honey
Pinch of salt
A little bit of vinegar
Just a touch of blood
Maybe a smidge of sugar
Teaspoon of red wine
Don’t forget a moan or two
A hint of selfishness
Make sure the sear is just right
Yeah, sounds a lot like what love would be
At least to me
Anyways

Take your time to come my way
So, I can see what I've been missing
I swear I can hear the doves and ravens say
Except I've always been really bad at listening
As the trees try to explain what I've been doing wrong

That I'm simply not human enough
I'll call the stars, and drive through the mountains, just to show
That I love your volcanic ash breeze
Just don't leave me dying

You're simply too human for me
Don't call the stars, and drive through the mountains, just to show
That you hate my ocean salt breeze
Just don't leave me living
