All of this just might be the same
Regardless this is quite the feeling
Of being insane
And when the day arrives
Where all my poems are dead
And I’ve decided to use words
To **** myself instead
Drowned out in black and white
Laced with colors brought about
By your imaginations
Where you can taste
What’s exactly inside my head
Both in hell and maybe even heaven
Where we’ve lost control
Of our not so holy souls

She told me blood moons
Meant destruction
How funny as we seemed so inclined
I quit strumming
Just to comment on your legs
How they’d looked so good
But would look better over my shoulders
Eyes a flutter
Bitten lips
Back locked up
Frozen in time
With the moonlight
Razing our shadows
Just for the night
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
And just for one time
I want to feel like the dangerous one
While you’re chasing me
Weakened staring at my jawline
As I’m watching the city lights
With you not in mind.

And the hour was late
Standing in the dark
Open and terrifying
How the night air screamed
Headphones in
Eyes closed
With soft rap lyrics
And impending guitar riffs
Let your hands do the movements
Feel the words and beat
Conduct the symphonies
Get lost for the moment
Accepting certain peace’s
Lost to you during the sunlit hours
Choked up on life
Finally remembering to breathe
In the midnight hours when your minds at ease
When the sun starts to crack through the dark
It all doesn’t seem so desolate
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
It’s hard to explain what it’s like
The smell of the air
The heat waves over the crowd
The fresh cut grass
A flat beer and a hotdog
Maybe a pretty girl or two
All of it ever so trivial
When it comes down to just us
Toe to toe in a 12 round boxing match
Except our punches come at 90 MPH
Who will win?
Regardless...
I suppose it’s always a beautiful day
For some baseball

Eve
I’m really glad you took that bite
Got us kicked out of Eden
It’s given me the chance
To commit all the sins that come to mind
When I see the curves of your body
And the way your eyes rip into mine
As you lick the bottoms of your teeth
And ignore me with a devilish smile
We all have our own Eve

Everything in my life
Falling apart
And
Simultaneously
everything in my life
pulling itself together
The truth is
life breaks everyone
life breaks everything
Nevertheless
I choose positive thoughts
I choose adaptability
I choose compassion
I choose gratitude
I choose love
I choose humility
I choose courage
I choose to keep moving forward
I choose to create a beautiful life
within the ugliness of it all
I choose to reach inside myself
and ignite a fire that will burn
forevermore
And at the end of it all
I know I will emerge victorious
within those broken places
