Hurricane and Sunshine
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Rainy mornings waking up with you
We have no plans, we have nothing to do
White holy angel with a devil grin
Asking when I want to start the sins
Telling me all the ways that you like it
Biting lips in silence, fighting to deny it
Out of all the chokers that you own
I’m just trying to be your favorite
Cause’ you’re the sunshine
And
I’m the hurricane
Tangled up in these sheets

California King
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
I find it weird that I sleep
On the left side of the bed
Knowing that no one is on the right
Like open space, empty and heavenly

Across The Room
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
So, let's set the sea aflame
Scorch the coastline
Watch the tides turn charcoal black
Watching the world burn away
Hell on earth
It's how I feel
With the dope *** instrumental
Cascading us with background noise
As we eye each other from across the room
Searing one another with fevered looks
Unaware of all the others burning up

Icarus Polaroids
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Black and white polaroids
Crossed out eyes
And tongues out
We must’ve been so high
With stars in our eyelids
Lost to the heavens
So close to the Sun
Icarus wings melting
I wonder when my mind decided
I wasn’t worth helping
Jun 2018 · 93
Misconceptions
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Note if I die
It’s just a letter
Definitely have mixed feelings about it
Knowing I’ll forever be attached to you
Part of me feels bad for you
Hey, maybe I’ll be in God’s place
Hopefully behavin’ myself
The misconception is
I’ve only ever felt like the world’s better off without me
And I admit you make it a priority
To show me
The world won’t be the same without me
I guess I wonder if my soul will be missin?
I’m sure tomorrow we’ll do it different
Jun 2018 · 49
Directions
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
I really hope my mind doesn’t lose its way
So, which way are you going?

:::Insane:::

Oh, those moon filled nights
Trying to make it to tomorrow
I want to represent those lost in the dark
These words are just a form of art
Derived from confessions of my heart

Sinking
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
There she was far out in the ocean
Calling out to me for help
Knowing the only boat around
Was littered with holes
Watching me sink trying to get to her
I think she liked it that way

Obsessions
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Trying
To
Make
Something
Timeless.

Volitions
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
They say God rested on the seventh day
I find that hard to accept
For we are supposedly created
In a semblance of his image
And upon my own volitions
I seem to revel too far in my creations
For written on me in invisible ink
Are the plethora of words
Depicting my faults
Maybe it isn’t the creation that’s feverish
Perhaps it’s the destruction in its awe
Worn away by the subtle kisses of time

Cotton Candy Skies
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
It wasn’t until I was lost out at sea
Under the cotton candy skies
That I realized how lonely the oceans were
It must be why I like it so much
Relating to the lapping tides
As they push farther inland
Searching for something
They can’t seem to grab

Supernova
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Built like stars
We’re just shining
But, we’re also burning
Which really means we’re dying

Drugs (Explicit)
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Got me feeling like a kid
Feeling like this is it
And when the sun comes up
Will you be here in the morning?
My own angel from hell
And with a body like that it’s easy to tell
Cause last night
When I was gripping your neck
And I was slapping your face
Both hands pulling my hair
As I slide your ******* off of your waist
Cause I know you can’t wait
To drop down my lips
Waiting for me to know how you taste
Nothing makes sense to me lately
Except you seem to save me
And I’m a fiend for this has me shaky
Having you like a drug daily
Jun 2018 · 90
Dreaming In Words
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
It’s the same dream every time
If I remember that is...
The moon just looks so pretty
And the waves tickle our toes
As the beach is littered with bottles
Each with a different letter inside
And just for a moment
All of my words
Well, they seemed to be screaming out
I just hope they reached you
Did they reach you?
Jun 2018 · 79
Guiding Violence
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
I’m looking to you for guidance
All I can hear is silence
It’s radiating such violence
Is it the end?
The dawn?
The kick back
Into reality
Is often
Too hard to ignore
I guess let’s wait
See what the second act has in store
Jun 2018 · 61
Stretched For Time
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
You whispered let’s run away
I just wish we’d stay
These nights never seem to last
Like we’re bound for different paths
Looks like we’re stretched for time
Both claiming our hearts feel just fine
I can’t seem to name, the drug my brains been asking for
And dying seems like such a bore
So, come home my soul craves some more
Let me check something off my list
Cause I’d like to taste those lips
And I don’t wanna go
Livin’ in memories with nothing to show
Jun 2018 · 80
KTF
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
KTF
She was a sun kissed blonde
With dark brown eyes
I swore they saw through me a few times
I wrote a long time ago
That I’d make deals with the devil
To know a girls name
This time I think I’m long gone
As I’d clip angel wings
And tear down the gates of Heaven
For a moment of her time
I can feel Hell’s heat rise in my veins
When she flashes a smile
And with the curves of her body
She pulls me into the sea
I find myself drowning even in the shallows

Ponytail
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
She was vibrant with a dash of darkness
Cascading into the summer sunset
She caught me staring a few times
Watching her bare back
Watching the sinew of the muscle fibers
As she hugged herself tight
She cared more of how I felt though
Asking how my night was going
Tired and sore my dear
“Anything I can do to make it better?”
She said with a devilish tone
In a second she transformed into something more
Removing the wristband
Pulling her hair into a ponytail
Grinning with delight
I never stood a chance

Rooftop
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Welcome to the maw
An amazing party
You spotted me across the hall
Devilish smirk acting like it’s nothing at all
You’re starting to wish it’d all stop
The hours we talked
The itch
The doubt
Listening to me just humming along
Begging me to stop, knowing your crave for me is wrong
So, what if I told you we might just be on the same side
Take a leap, close your eyes
Cause, this is just the first act called the rooftop
Let’s sing your song
Watch the sun rise
Jun 2018 · 53
Toothpick
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
I sat there strumming along
Locked in the corner humming along
She came up
Her words collided in my mind like kaleidoscopes
"Is that the only thing your tongue can do, spin that toothpick from side to side?"

Forecast
Vinnie Brown May 2018
Turn your dreams into realities
**** hate and negativity
Believe in your own creativity

And when the sun comes up
Somewhere in the morning
I hope you’re all here
Wandering inside your heads
There’s a storm on the forecast
It’s coming our way

Love Blindness
Vinnie Brown May 2018
Our generation
Seems to be losing sight
Just in one eye though
I guess that's just what love blindness is
Accepting that love isn't really what we thought it'd be
Who knows though
It seems our other pupil still dilates with the idea of love after all
May 2018 · 79
Reaper
Vinnie Brown May 2018
I just want to help myself
Discover inner peace
Except that concept doesn't make sense to me
Life is exhaustingly crazy
We find ourselves fading
Always in the background
That's where were staying
To me I am the enemy
The summer nights
Pink lit street lights
Laughing in my face haunting me
Searching for self absorbed honesty
One thing's for sure, when I look in her eyes
I get nervous
I guess that's the Reaper's purpose
May 2018 · 134
Eye Storms
Vinnie Brown May 2018
The violent churning of oceans
Crashing about in her eyes
Was intoxicating enough
That I didn't notice
Our ship was crashing
And soon we'd be drowning
Deep in the black mass
Hidden from the sun
May 2018 · 69
Burn
Vinnie Brown May 2018
God said I’d be welcome here forever
There was a little sadness
As I knew I’d have to cancel forever
May 2018 · 60
Monsters
Vinnie Brown May 2018
It was a stormy Wednesday night
I turned all the car lights off
Let the thunderstorm light my way
Terrified of the dark
Not because of the monsters hiding in the shadows
No, I know the real monsters lie waiting in my head
They know exactly what to whisper to make my heart drop
How did they ever get so clever?
Stopping in the middle of somewhere close to no where
Wanted to have a talk with the devils on my shoulders
Ask the one with the white wings
How we ended out this far
And of the faintest whispers
I heard
If angelic beings were to fall to this world of ours
I think even they would commit many wrongs
That’s what the dark brings

Girl At The Party
Vinnie Brown May 2018
There she was
The pretty girl at the party
In line at the bathroom
I said let’s talk
But, my liquid confidence is wearing off
Something so sweet, it’s tragic
I bet devils love ya, but I’m not sure
With a laugh that pure
Flames in your eyes I’d love to meet
I miss the look on your face
Lost in a summer haze
Feeling like it’s Coachella
Every weekend
With free spirits
Bound to the flowers on your head
And I loved the way you danced and sang
Oh, I miss the way we danced and sang

The man at the bridge
Vinnie Brown May 2018
I saw a man
At the end of the bridge
In last ditch efforts
I asked if he needed me
When I knew he needed someone
These prayers haven’t been heard
And he wasn’t sure that’s how it worked
He looked down to his side and nodded as if a seat was open
So, grab my hand jump down to the river
Cause’ the water is serene like poetry
And to talk is divine
Except God’s don’t talk
I wonder if that’s why these prayers
Are more like lost emotion
Drifting here and there
At the end of the bridge

Alone
Vinnie Brown May 2018
I could tell you loved the way
I looked at you
If only the people would disappear
And I could make you feel like you use to
When we were alone
I’d write heavenly and hellish love stories
Only for you
When we use to breathe in
The ocean salt misted waves
I’ve been looking for more time
Hoping to turn back time
Just to show the devil
How we lived was right
Oh, when we were alone

Falling Stars
Vinnie Brown May 2018
Late into the night
Up in the sky
I see nothing
But, stars
Falling.
May 2018 · 49
Mutterings
Vinnie Brown May 2018
I wonder what sort
Of war torn love filled battlefields
Lie resting upon angels and demons
Beatings of wings
Lifted far above
All the things you and I
Have seem to muttered
When gold hearts were turning to black
May 2018 · 59
Thirds
Vinnie Brown May 2018
She whispered so softly
The wind tiptoed on her words

“It’s a really pretty story, and you tell it really well. It’s just not the fairytale I’m looking for.”

It’s funny hearts don’t really break in two
We both seem to find it in thirds
May 2018 · 119
All The Same
Vinnie Brown May 2018
All these heavens are the same
They're rotting my brain, love
I think I need a change
Before I go insane, love

All these hells are the same
They're rotting my brain, love
I think I need a change
Before I go insane, love

Now, I am insane
Angels and Demons in my brain, love
Peace we can't obtain
Cause' all these loves are the same
May 2018 · 95
Courage
Vinnie Brown May 2018
She asked “What of Courage?”
As if personifying it
Would deepen her own belief in it
As she knew we all feel so cowardly somedays
But, she was tired of feeling tired, even more so of feeling small, for her heart screamed of adventure, lost somewhere in the ocean of it all
She has a lot to learn though
Such as tomorrow when she wakes up
And makes her morning coffee
That walking out that door and living life
Well, that’s pretty courageous
For the world is really big and she might just be small after all
May 2018 · 61
Differences
Vinnie Brown May 2018
Being in love
  With you
Seems like
  A really bad
Idea

Being in love
  With me
Seems like
  A really good
Idea
Vinnie Brown May 2018
She had bleached out black eyes
From staring into Aries rise
Caught up in midnight whisperings
Wondering if these stars aren’t just things
For the sun sets on Heaven’s cries
And the dark sets in when the stars come to claim their prize
Sweaty palms staring at the summer sky
Black magic searching for lost time
Sipping dark red wine on the coast surrounded in neon lights
May 2018 · 97
Black Bullet
Vinnie Brown May 2018
She shot a black bullet
Inlaid with golden hopes
Filled with white lies
With a little dash of cherry blood
I don’t know how to explain it
You showed up at the right time
With the hot lead corroding my mind
You’re a part of my head like sweet crime
Don’t be afraid baby
There’s another bullet in the chamber secretly
Apr 2018 · 56
State Lines
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Longing for the moonlight
Waiting for the sun
Stuck between state lines
Here you’ll forgive your thoughts now
When I’ll become a forgotten thought now
Are you sure you that you called?
I don’t know, my phone must’ve not have gotten the memo
Dear, I wouldn’t bet your heart down
It’s clear you couldn’t get your head around
Was it just that? Faded after all
I’ve been awake in every state line
Dying to make it last us a life time
Trying to shake that we’re on an incline
I’d be yours in a landslide
Apr 2018 · 45
Ungodly After All
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
I wish I knew
What it was
That reminded us godly creatures
What makes us human.

World’s Away
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
He can still recall that moment so clearly
She sat in the bay window
Oversized sweatshirt
The coffee mug
Held to lips by her heavenly sculpted hands
She didn’t need to turn to know he was there
Watching from the door
She looked tired, not physically
It was reinforced by her words

“There’s something really ******* gorgeous out there, I just wish I knew what it was.”

He glanced out just to acknowledge her
Not truly caring what was outside
For why should he?
His sunrise and nightfall’s lie in her eyes
The mountains and lays of the lands in the curves of her body
The oceans tempest in the sweetness of her saliva and the rains of her tears
She is the seasons of love
And there in an oversized sweater
With a plaster coffee mug
Was his world and there’s something really ******* gorgeous about it all
Apr 2018 · 81
Visceral
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Pretty girl
In her feels
Poppin’ pills
Feelin’ visceral
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
I come alive in the night
Shine in the light of the moon
I'm thinkin' maybe tonight
We can lose sight of our views
But, I just don't have the time to be out calling for you
Choices aren’t free
But, it’s hard for me to say no
Never been one to travel on the safe road
Broken hearts and regrets
We have a safe full
Howling at the moon
Do you wanna be the next one?
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
There are doors
We find ourselves locked beyond
Where we must suffer
From the sins we’ve committed
Dragged to the endless oceans of
Where the Devils we’ve become
Beckon us further into hells we’ve created
As we sail ships into burning heavens
On fire from all the things we’ve done
Where they cook magnificent meals of delicious pain and we slumber in final battles of broken churches
Apr 2018 · 230
What To Write?
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Love, Hope, Depression, God, The Devil, and The Sea
Which of you shall it be tonight?
Apr 2018 · 63
I Spoke To The Devil
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Ever since I was a little kid
I had a dream of climbing Everest
That maybe at the top I’d see Heaven
Just to get there and find the Devil
I asked why I wasn’t cold
She put her hand on my shoulder
And said “I’m always with you.”
Who knew evil could be so beautiful
On top of the world
Apr 2018 · 57
Crumbled Kingdoms
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Well, it looks like what the kingdom
Said was true after all
We were doomed from the start
Look at us, we didn’t even come close
He murmured to himself
As he sat slouched on the throne
Arms dangling over the rests
As the glinting finery casts shadows
Down from crown in hand
For there sat a king
But, she was gone and he felt
Peasantly.
Apr 2018 · 61
Love’s Not Hopeless
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
It’s really hard wanting to go home
When she’s just so far away
Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in your love
Come like grace again
For love’s not hopeless
Apr 2018 · 99
Break Up Stories
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Her:
She recalled the burning heat
Seeping off their foreheads
Pressed together, consoling the other
As she whimpered “Are we okay?”
Brought to knees on a battlefield
Of shattered hearts and
Desecrated morals built in hope

Him:
He memorized the details of her face
Pale stricken with beautiful streaks of dirt
Ragged and tired from the many battles
Driven off the endless battle waves of
Angels and demons in the pursuit of love
His soft breaking whisper
“Let’s just see if we can survive tonight.”

They both hoped they’d make it out alive.
I’m not sure I like the title

Death Songs
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
You are the reason I'm still hangin' on
You are the reason my head is still above water
And if I could I'd get you the moon
I'd give it to you
And if Death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you
Apr 2018 · 119
Ultimately
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
The world called me Vinnie
You called me V
Ultimately I don't understand a thing
I try to do the best I can
I know you try to do the same
We're just so bound to make mistakes
You could call it a disposition
I apologize for all your tears
I wish I could be different
But I'm still growing up
Into the one you can call your love
I don't know if I'll ever be enough
I'm throwing in my chips
I guess I tend to push my luck
And ultimately I believe we'll be okay
It's so cliché to say these things, but repetition is a key
I think I'm better when I'm with you
But I worry when you're gone
I think I need to learn to love myself
I must learn to be strong
So for now we'll say goodbye
Although it pains me in my heart
Your words they come to me in memories
They sing to me like songs
It won't be long until I'm here
Soon I'll make my arrival
Under shady trees
A quiet street
The roads that I have traveled
Ultimately it's a beautiful thing
Like flowers blooming in a lonely field
The petals drift through crossing winds
They find their way to river streams
That scent the water beautifully, it takes me back to you
It takes me back to you
A little twist on a song

Swallow Up Your Pride
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
I see the way that you take off your disguise
Drinks and pills what’s your fix to get high?
You just want to feel something to feel fine
You gonna let him swallow up your pride?
Just run away in the night
No ones worth the tears that you cry
It’d be a shame to see you do this till your ******’ numb and gone
Just come with me and take a ride
