Lips on your skin
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Can I burn my lips on your skin babe?
Can I char my tongue on your back babe?
Can I cauterize my wounds on your heart babe?
Can I blind my eyes on your blaze babe?
Or is it all too much to ask for...
We'll just leave it to the orignal
Can I put my lips on your skin babe?

How Curious
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Fire to Ice
Heaven to Hell
Summer to Winter
Hope to Despair
Needs to Wants
Chaos to Clarity To Chaos
From left to right sounds like breaking a heart
From right to left sounds like you’re learning to love
How curious that must be.

Afraid
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
When I wake up I’m afraid
Somebody else might take my place
When I wake up I’m afraid
Somebody else might end up being me
And being me means it’s difficult to see
All the smoke making it hard to breathe
Where the worlds disappeared and all that’s left is me and I’m scared of everything.

Cast Away
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
She’s pulled to the black silver ocean
Where the currents
Clash and collide with the heavens
I seem to be caught in a swell
She is the lighthouse the sea mark
And I’m led by the currents away
I’m the navigator who never could lead
Aboard the mighty ship
One who could never sink
And you’re my only thought
If I go down the fear of the water’s amnesia
So, my memory is gripping
As the waves seem to be ripping
And your voice is an echo
Of things I don’t know
Some of stories I’ve been told
A light house, a voyage
Would someone please take notice
Apr 2018 · 47
Troublesome
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Let your troubles come to me
Don’t be afraid baby
Let the heavens sweet honey suckle melodies
Flood the fears we feel away
Cause’ I’m feelin’ devilish with the way you move
So, let your lips and my eyes tell us what to do
It’s never the right time in our mind
Let’s not make this hard, cause’ all I want is you

Bonfires
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
Remember the feel of the sand beneath us
And the smell of smoke between us
When we laughed like kids
Dancing in a burning room
Alight with bonfires burning in our chests
And flames flickering in our eyes
As summer was fading fast?
Apr 2018 · 51
Sunflare
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
They say happiness is free
But, I wouldn’t care what it cost me
What an adventure life seems to be
Keeping this hope alive
When the rest of the worlds hearts
Seem to have died
So, pretty girl stay shining
For stars die out
But, suns never fade
And we might just watch the world end
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I want to run with you
Through backyards
Filled with tripwires and clothes lines
Into war zones of innocent love
Where the night sky is alight
Fire stricken with dying stars heartbeats
Where your eyes scream my name
Visible by lightning bug flames
Where hand grenades
Are scribbled letters
Of future desires
Where were battling the summer’s thirst
Mar 2018 · 105
Hostage
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I don’t really want this song to end
I’m sort of addicted to this endless waltz
That you and I have been locked in
It’s not everyday
You get to dance with the devil
Eloquently chained to one another
Flowing heavenly towards sin
I’m held hostage
By the desires you possess
With fire eyes
All the shades of past lovers
Found in one ball room
Up high, snuck past the gates of Heaven
Where we’ll dance
Till the world tears itself apart
Mar 2018 · 67
Tempest
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I want to be alone
Find myself lost out at sea
Knee deep in the black mass
Watch the siren's sing the maddening waves into men's hearts
Where time and the black silver ocean collide
To swim in the kisses of the incarnate
For the sea loves, hates, and weeps
Fervently shackled an...and bound to that which isn't
I feel my lungs collapsing under the pressures of the deep
Where your heart and your desires slumber
Mar 2018 · 89
Overtime
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
All you have to do is bring an open mind
Take a leap of faith
Put your hand in mine
Let’s both take the night off
We’ve both been working overtime
Mar 2018 · 76
Better
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
There is no plan for my life
That I can seem to follow
So, I don’t have time for all of these games
And, I do not plan on staying the same
Cause’ I’m gonna be better
Things will get better
Better when you see me next
Mar 2018 · 46
You and The Devil
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
-The Devil continues to try and knock you off balance
  - - Except he didn’t know who you are and he’s just no challenge
- The next time I see you, you’re gonna be better
Mar 2018 · 81
Back Then
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
It use to be so **** different back then
We were kids and now
We’re suppose to be women and men
There’s so many things
We need to start to understand
That we’re not queens and kings
And we should prepare for the end
Like hitting one another’s phones up when we feel all alone
Hands up to the ceiling
Please mind our business
This is where we hide our feelings
You all know how it is
No expectations that’s just how we’re livin’
Understandin’ that not all of our crimes will be forgivin’
So, count your blessings  and never start to question
Anything that you can mention that’s what time it is

Love Affair
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I was sitting across from an old man
He laughed leisurely and spoke great
He must’ve seen me staring at her
For he said “Young man, right now you think you have all the time in the world, but in reality you’re almost dead, so run fast.”

She was leaving the train in such haste and grace. She wore a golden romper and her hair flowed like silk caught in the breeze.

I left my backpack and sprinted, slid down the railing! The stairs would’ve only slowed my racing heart, as I hit the pavement lost in the crowds of a big Apple city. Left and right, where could she have disappeared in the daylight, for she radiates moonlight.

I finally caught a glimpse of her, and for a moment time seemed to stand still and she caught the glint of my golden eyes. As the seconds passed we never broke eye contact, but in the faint distance a man seemed to approach and he kissed an angel. It seems our love affair will be that of a long lost gaze.
Oh, and I lost my seat and backpack and I’m five minutes older. Seems that old man was crazy after all.

Spring Cleaning
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
He felt he was suffocating
She begged she was drowning
Yet, they don’t part ways
It’s funny what pollution does
In a toxic environment
Give it time
Spring cleaning is almost here
Mar 2018 · 43
TA:TF
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Welcome to the mall and misery
Where we have trap doors
Sailing to nowhere
Filled with ghosts inside
Burning with mongrel hearts
Begging for kindergarten crushes
Holding on for life
The Angel and The Fool
Mar 2018 · 45
Saints
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
All women are Satan
  - I just happen to be a glorified sinner
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
The delectable fires between every word
As she cut through me
Was so filled with ecstasy
That I found myself lost
As she was packing her last bag
Forgetting to tell me to go to hell
What she didn’t know was
I found myself there a long time ago
Who would’ve guessed
Lucifer was a girl that I liked
Mar 2018 · 46
Thinkin’
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I think we should drive to a place we don’t know

I’m thinking you and I

Better just go with the flow

With your legs wrapped around me and the last thing I wanna do is go slow

I’m thinking about God
I want to die someday
I’m thinking about the things that I want
I get what I want

I’m thinkin you and I
Blacked out eyes
Should drive to a place we don’t know
To a place no ones seen us before
Mar 2018 · 170
He’s Changed
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I got to cussin’
And I got to a screamin’
And I got to losin’ my cool

And I got to smokin’
And I got to drinkin’
And I got to takin’ my **** out on you.

Girl we still got somethin here, I stay believin’
I’m not goin’ no where till I’m done breathin’
Ladies, even romanticized...don’t fall for this ****.
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Truth be told
I am terrified to write
To show you all
For these words aren’t just words
More so they’re speckled stars
And the glow of firefly hearts
Resembling the scattered remnants
Of a beautiful mind
Familiar to that of my own
Lost searching for Eden
With diminishing returns as a result
But, I feel compelled to tell a story
So, maybe these mere words
Will reach your cascading eyes
All set upon an Endless Summer
Endowed with kindergarten crushes and
Lost Lover’s souls
Mar 2018 · 43
Unbothered
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
She came in on a mission
To make you feel fiery anger
She flirts with every guy in the room
Heavenly giggles and hellish smiles
All except you, not even a glance
There was one set back in her plan.



You just really didn’t ******’ care.
Mar 2018 · 84
Fairytale
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Let’s go get lost, what do ya say?
Anywhere is better than here
Narnia isn’t too far
Hogwarts is just over the bridge
The Hundred Acre Woods is close
How about Westeros?
Maybe, your feelin’ Halloweentown?
Neverland is just a short walk
To be honest, we could stay right here
In this moment
Make our own fairytale
If you’re up for it...
Mar 2018 · 71
Garden Walks
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Some will hate these words
They’ll draw their axes
To cut down one another
In the garden of life

Still

I hope these words
Nurture something inside
For all of you
To grow into what and who
You desire to be
Mar 2018 · 40
Intoxicated.
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
My throat's burning
I can't see straight
I hope I can breathe again
I can't seem to sleep


Can you hear my voice through the storm?
-I need you to tell me that I’m a good person. I know that I can be selfish, and narcissistic, and self-destructive but underneath all that, deep down, I’m a good person, and I need you to tell me that I’m good. Diane? Tell me please, Diane. Tell me that I’m good. - Bojack

Ink Plots
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I have tattoos without ink
White and filled with scar tissue
Just as beautiful as can be
Mar 2018 · 56
Delicacies
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
She looked so Delicate
Like she'd crumble if I touched her
To be so caught in all of it
As I'm the **** and she's the hunter
We existed inside of spring
For we weren't a moment
You could capture on film
But, even so I'll never let it disappear
Mar 2018 · 64
Clouds
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
She said “Don’t forget you owe me one.”
Ninety-nine cent dreams
Maybe you can show me some
I’m up in the clouds again
If you need someone, call your friends
Clouded by all of this smoke
Seems the fires all we can understand
Your body looks like heaven
Caught up in a breeze
Riding the clouds feeling so free
Mar 2018 · 53
Poets
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
It’s a beautiful thing
Stumbling upon all of you
Doing what you’ve been clearly
Put on this world to do.
Mar 2018 · 50
Monsters
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Imagine if we were kids again
Except this time
We knew what love really was
I ponder the idea if we’d still chase it
In the thousands of infinities
We all just happen to die in our dreams
In unknown heavens
Built upon our sins
Lost somewhere in the stars
Mar 2018 · 68
Bridge
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
His desires were that of white waters
Young and naive you
You use to try and cross
For Love was on the other side
Just to get lost in the chaos
Of a raging river
A little older and a little wiser
You said “No thanks, I’m not a fan of drowning.”
And took the bridge
Mar 2018 · 43
Revel
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
What do you say
Wanna revel
In the not good times?
Mar 2018 · 47
Frozen
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I turned the heat up
Till I thought I was burning
To notice I was as cold as ever
Shivering in hundreds of degrees
Thirty minutes to realize it was my heart
And even tonight
It can’t be thawed by pretty words
Mar 2018 · 42
Nightcrawlin’
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
I see you when the night falls
I don’t know what I’m here for
I’m hiding from the blinding truth
I’m callin’ out to you
That moment of madness
When we lose it all
I need you to save me
Like you’ve done before
I’m stinging in silence
Climbing the Endless Summer walls
I’m Nightcrawlin’ to you
Somethin’ in the water
Or maybe it’s the way you move
Turns me into a monster
It’s a hunger I can’t refuse
I see you in the night fall
But never when the light breaks through
Mar 2018 · 90
Carried Home
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
The city screams
And my echoes dream
I long for hope, it’s all I see
The morning brings such a longful dawn
All that we see is not a fairytale
Except all this could be
Is a miracle for us
In a flush of panic
We all forget the reasons we feel so blessed
Holding smiles in memories
Now is my time to carry you
She’s fallin’ over
So, I’ll carry you home
Mar 2018 · 229
Art
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Art
I am sorry for the man I’ve been
And I’m sorry for the man I am
I like when I bleed
Because if I’m feeling something
I’m feeling free
Numb to the fact
Your heart’s black
Cause’ you’re angelic, but no angel
More hell smitten
I take white canvas and paint it black
Pretty worded love stories
Seem to be the aftermath
With blood tones in sunsets
And a calling from the moon
We can’t seem to answer
Mar 2018 · 52
Told Me
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
It’s not just silly little moments
The fragility of life is there for a reason
Love is a risk after all so, love
For life is terrifying, but what a ride man
What a ride indeed.

Streetlights talk the same way my mother told me
I walk the same way my friends told me
Wise men talk the same way my lovers told me
I walk the same way my brothers and sister told me
Mar 2018 · 73
Curse
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
My self esteem been in the dirt
I don’t know my worth
I’ve been at my worst
Can’t explain my hurt
So, I write another verse
Seems I can’t shed this curse
Mar 2018 · 91
Far Away
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
One day we're young, then we're dead in the grave
We love and laugh, just to decay
Heads in the clouds cause it feels so safe
Hell's never closed, so we're leaving today
Chanting on the way down, "Oh, God made us this way."
Admit we're addicted to the reflection of who we think we are
But what we claim to be, it always seems so far away
Feb 2018 · 65
The Female Busker
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
This is a calling
Let it resonate
For my muses
I need your medicine
2 to 3 doses, daily
****, she knows how to play
My heart strings literally
So, ****** lovely
Feels like flying...
She plays with so much emotion
She can just feel the music
I got these notions
They’re deep as oceans
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah - Tash Sultana
Feb 2018 · 74
Sex For Breakfast
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
I love the proverbial highs
And I crave the providential lows
As we wander through the city of Lost Angels
Not really lost all
Just sight seeing
The beautiful and the ******
Looking for our own little hell
Soft whispers from devils
I'll bite your soul and you'll like it
Got her curlin' toes
And her smile getting wider
I can feel it in my bones
I'm catchin' visions of her soul
Watch her eyes roll back
Throwing the rights and wrongs down a deep black hole
Bending backwards
Pretending to care about the factors
Putting one another to the test
Having *** for breakfast
Feb 2018 · 104
Self Love
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
-I don’t want to love myself
- - Praying that they all love me
Relationships are all narcissistic anyways right? You’re just trying to find someone to love you as much as you love yourself right?
No, no you’re not.
Feb 2018 · 102

Paralyzing Paradise
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
My insecurities are my own worst enemies
Somethings not letting me
Live the way I use to
Thought you could better me
But, I don’t remember getting buzzed
I only kissed you once
I use to feel the rush
Now I can’t see myself walking
I’ll fight to do something
I’ll fight cause’ I got nothing
There’s a void
Now, I’m paranoid
Feeling paralyzed
Everytime I find some paradise
Now I’m all twisted
To be honest, when this feelings gone
I sort of miss it
Feb 2018 · 122
Strumming and Humming
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
Yeah, as you can see I play guitar
That doesn’t mean I like love songs
But, I’ll be the first to admit
I still find myself
Strumming and humming along
To the melody of your moans
Feb 2018 · 76
Me and You
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
When the cities burnin’ down
Which of us will make it out?
I hope the only ones
Are me and you
Feb 2018 · 472
AA
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
AA
Seems I found a muse
Was an accidental stumbling
Golden romper and all
With an angelic title beginning
And ending with A’s
I’ll call her AA, for she’s a lot stronger
Than any drink I’ve had hit the lips
See if they know who they are
Feb 2018 · 323
Pursuit Of Happiness
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
I put my Mother through hell
Hurt my Brothers and my Sister as well
I dreamt about killing myself
Oh wait, it wasn’t a dream after all
I just didn’t see the all the things in the fall
I’m for sure no song writer
Except this is easily the ballad
Of me and my brain
And I think I’ve gone mad
I’m far too ashamed to do these things
When the world is watching me
It’s funny how the world
Seems to be acting cruel to be kind
For you all can name the values I possess
My mind still tricks myself
Into nothingness
I just hope the sun rises tomorrow
And I’ll get one more day
To pursue happiness
Feb 2018 · 87
Winter Moon
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
The moon and I have what you might call
A love hate relationship
As I find her overwhelmingly beautiful
And she likes to show me my loneliness
