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

Calling My Name
Vinnie Brown Mar 2017
To be the one she chooses so naturally
Letting her down I won't be
To all my friends, I hope you find your way
On some lonely summer night I hope to see you again
But I have to go she's calling out my name

I said it before and I'll scream it out now
She's a simple beauty and it gets me
I couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home
A thief in the night came attempting to steal the feeling that she's been giving

Deep into the night these flames
I've been looking back at the things you senselessly taught me
There's beauty we can't always keep
Learning there's some demons in stories
Whenever she calls, she'll be calling me
The moon hasn't been chasing us lately
Sometimes our love is just so child like

And tonight I just couldn't stop smiling like the whole way home, with the smell of the rain and the sun setting like it was gold, how can I tell her that we'll shine in the street lights quintessence glow as she sees me coming home, she was a simple beauty and to all my friends I know you'll find your way, but tonight she's callin' out my name and so I on my way I'm sprinting home

Down To The Core
Vinnie Brown Dec 2016
I'm a bittersweet love
Just wondering if your heart
Can stomach the taste?

Who we were from the start
Kids just chasin' fireflies and stars
Now were to the part where I'd like to get lost
In deep conversation in your car

Can we just take a second and let our bodies be?
Give me just this moment
*Because I couldn't imagine if I lost you out at sea


I want to fall in love you seem just so right for my needs
My heart, my soul it's all being so slowly torn apart
Something is growing though, it must be your gentle seeds

Down, down so buried deep down
Your presence just makes me feel so alive
I'm catching heat, we're just so on fire
And our unmatched Love* can only take us higher
438 · Oct 2013
Morning will come.
Vinnie Brown Oct 2013
Morning will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
I will give up this fight
I can't make you love me if you don't
I can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
I'll feel the power
You found love darlin.

Her.
Vinnie Brown Sep 2013
I'd like to meet her
The girl that's completely obsessive about me
Loyal to no end
Forgiving
Crazy even
Girlish when I need her to be
With a name that even in the most difficult times
Will shout throughout my body
That would in dire times do what I could not
Who can be brutal...deadly even
If it came to protecting me
Who will make my heart sear with pain when she isn't around
Days aren't as sunny when she stays in doors
Who can understand my love for her when other's cannot
Who knows my love from just a simple calling of the name
I promise you Love...We'll be together someday
Whatever the cost.
Mirai Nikki inspired.

To My Fellow Man
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Just like in the Sweater Weather
All we are are men
All we want is the world in our hands
What they don't know is we still stand at the beach
Toes in the sand
Dreams of one love
Head up in the clouds
Except our gravity's centered
Just searching for adventure
Your lips, your mouth
Just a home with you and a house
It just seems the world tries to tell you what to think about
Hold your head up high
It's just us and the world let's find out
Our exterior is just something, we act like we don't want to talk about
Except what we need to know is that this world isn't too cold for us here
My twist on sweater weather by the neighborhood, and a shout out to my fellow man

What Makes a Man?
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
Her beautiful eyes breathed fire into life
Soft spoken lips whisper honey dipped words into the folds of my desires
As delicate soothing fingers caress the burning cravings of my heart
A kiss to calm the overdosing pride of consumption within the walls of a mind
What makes a man?
I think I might know
It's the day when she stokes the embers that awaken who he needs to be

Tomb
Vinnie Brown Mar 2017
Got a thought for those who start to think of love as a pursuit of a fool
Keeping my bright eyes open searching down the coast lines looking for you
Locking stares just got me pining for that kiss of permanent truth
All you can remember is our pasts being cruel
Deep into the night my hearts screaming swollen barely beating with my love for you
The doors been left wide open filling the room with the beautiful moon
Spilling these words into the ceaseless enchanting doom
Regardless we'll just keep strumming and humming this lonely tune building up the walls for a kingly tomb

Love
Vinnie Brown Jun 2013
I am twenty years old
I have never been in love
I have had my fair attractions
As for true love I have not
I imagine her though
Beautiful too me
I'm not quite sure her name though
Nor have I ever seen her before yet she welcomes me in my dreams
I think if I were to be in love
I'd like to be at the start
The start of something new
Something so pure
As pure as the bright blue sky
With the sun shining bright
Yeah I think that's love
Waking up next to her and seeing something like the sun
Don't get me wrong there are cloudy days
There will be raging storms
I guess in the end I'd like to be at the start
The start of a sunny day
I guess I'd like to be in love
Thanks for reading any notes or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Callin' out.
Vinnie Brown Oct 2013
I'm callin' out to my long lost lover
I hear you callin' out my name
I'm hidin' under the covers
We have no one else to blame
We we were ****** up by the blame
We cowered in our corners
Confide in one another
Let's just pass the time away
Fall asleep together in our bare skin
I couldn't say it to my own face
I finally let it out and say
Way down dear, you might just grow on
Me.
Thanks.
393 · Mar 2014
Pure
Vinnie Brown Mar 2014
All people are born pure
Through our insanity and insomnia
We become corrupt
In the hours of the moon and madness
We look for answers to the unknown
To make the unreal real
We look for truths all the while assuming the truth
The moments where we dare to aim higher...to reach for the stars, the heavens above
Our destinies lie above us not behind us
We are moving forward, in an ever stopping world
In our obsessions and achievements we've become impure
We are still pioneers, and we will always look for the answers to be pure.
Science and Religion together as one both stories are right in their ways.

Summer Stars
Vinnie Brown Jul 2013
I walk alone in the nights of summer
These lights lead me along my path
Their beauty is nearly unmatched
The only thing I can think of that is possibly more glorious is the sun rising
Although maybe they are more beautiful
After all there are millions shining instead of just the one by itself
I have never thought of the Sun's loneliness
It is truly alone while the others come out to play
Alone like me in my walks
Maybe I should walk during the day
That way the Sun wouldn't have to be alone
I wouldn't have to be alone
We could enjoy each other and let the summer stars have their beautiful darkness they hold so dear
I think you'll understand.

Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Going home
And nothing's quite wrong
But nothing really feels right
Trying to decide which to ignite
Either my head or my heart
A fire is kindling
Caught in between
What I want and what I know
Forever lost in changing my mind
We all just ask for one more night
To be honest I wouldn't change a forever in this bed
Although I know our time is ending
Maybe tonight you can make me change my mind

This is not the end.
Vinnie Brown Feb 2014
Live. Die. Repeat?
What is life?
Life is like Baseball
What do you do after you hit the ball?
You run to first and then to second and then to third and home.
Why get lost between first and second or second to third?
The point is to go home.
Life's about home...
It isn't defined by what we did or how far we got, but by where we got lost at.
This is not the end not where we as men, women, children got lost.
We're far from home...but we'll make it there eventually.
Live...
Die...
Never repeat.
Thanks.

Is she real?
Vinnie Brown Apr 2016
Drop of *** on my tongue
I'll be a better man today
I'll be good
I'm trying to love the world like I should

I'm trying to run from my pride
You set fire to my atmosphere
Chasing that sundown so far east I'm west bound
Feeling like the edge of the world is near

Sunset high and our bodies low
Blood rush in your hazy glow
Heart clapped we skipped a beat
Don't stop the music

Just take a lovely walk with me
Give me just a moment, let our bodies be
See if you can get lost in we
Find a place and lose it, you can do it

Take this new start of us, make a spark
Who you were from the start
Find the light in me
Break the dark

Won't you just dance with me?
Somebody new inspired this a long with OH WONDER.

Trains
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Crashing into the wave side
Endless depths to a never ending heart
Unable to see my faults for what they are
Such distance lost in the currents

Sometimes when I write a beautiful moment, I like to wait before I mark the world with its stain and keep this reverie just for me

It must be the selfishness that's settling
I can't tell you what it is that makes a man
But, I think I might know
It looks like times just not on my side
I can hear my train a coming
I'm still running for my life
Oh what a distant and welcoming cry

A fever is burning.
Vinnie Brown Nov 2015
I awoke surrounded in warmth
Just to realize it was my desires
They came back for me after all
Thought they had left me for dead
Just to to turn to ash in this burning heat
She gives me fever when she kisses me
When she allows her arms to envelope me
We have a love that a blind man can see
She's the reason I'm burning up
Can feel the smoke a risin'
I can feel the air leaving my lungs now
I'm feelin' my skin burnin up with fever
Startin to lose care in how long I live
The flames are creeping higher than ever
I'll lament for now
I've created a new circle of hell
No fire will hold me down
I'll crawl back to her.

These 4 words
Vinnie Brown Apr 2014
I don't want you back
I just want what you took from me
Take a look inside my heart
We got carried away
Said we'd never give up
Don't waste your tears on me
I'll be hating myself for letting you go
You can be the one to say "I told you so."
We're an anthem for a dying breed

I don't love you.
Atleast I told myself I don't.

Gimme your hand, this is where you start
I don't want her to leave
She said I'm perfect
Perfectly kissin on my neck
Her body is warm
In my arms
We're under the stars
Come on baby
Oh girl you're so sweet to me
I love when you're zoomin'

Vinnie Brown Jul 2013
To make sure you'd be happy.
I made sure I wouldn't be.

To love you.
To watch you love.

To see you smile.
I'd forever frown.

I often say I'd give you the world.
Your world doesn't have me in it.

I suppose I love you and always will.
You love me and won't admit it.
I guess that's what's best.

Beautiful Tunes
Vinnie Brown Dec 2016
I told my mother I would quit, that I'd grow up someday
What can I say?
As long as I'm still breathing
I promise you I'll be falling in love every evening

You're a song and every last note is carved into my heart
A melody ruling my mind and breathing
All of our emotions form this symphony

Don't you know you have this little magic thing you can do?
It wipes away the monochrome hue
And fills this world with a color when you laugh beside me

So, please my love let's go and make the most of today
Our time is precious or so they say, and I just want to spend it all with you

Take Me
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Let's gather our ghosts round the island flame
Getting lost in the dying sun and your eyes were the only fire
Asking my demons for your name
Pretty intimate so far, so I hoped to light your heart fire
Caught you swimming out so far this time
Getting lost in in your holy fire
If falling for you is my only crime
Take me back to places I feel loved in
Wandering around these cities I feel lost in
Take me back to your embrace where I want to get lost in

Forgive Us.
Vinnie Brown Mar 2015
We're young
We've made a lot of mistakes
Heartbreaks is the norm
We're always looking for a crutch just a need for human touch
Just brief romance
We let ourselves go and when we let ourselves down we just shrug it out
what's wrong with that we're young live fast die legends
Forgive us for what we have done
We were young.

Echoes
Vinnie Brown Mar 2014
My voice got lost
In the echoes of your betrayals
Or were they mine?
Somewhere along the lines we committed crimes
Now you're just showing off love
I guess I was teasing first
Connect us and were a terrifying cyclopean dread
Powerful enough to tear the world asunder
Tear us a part and we'll always search for each other
Soul mates it is what we are
In the echoes of their betrayals
I do not have a voice
If all you hear is silence
Then know that I am still searching for you dear

Gambling Man
Vinnie Brown Dec 2017
I’ve always been a gambling man
Especially when it comes to love
So, I bet her that we’d end up together
She laughed that angelic tone
I so crave to hear
Asking how ever shall we know?
Ah, love we’ll flip a coin
She demanded heads
The weight is heavier
Tails it is my dear
What she didn’t know
I had a double sided coin

I  may say it was your fault
Cause I know I could have done more

The mess I made
Vinnie Brown Mar 2014
Riddle me this
Are they laughing at me
Because I'm prone to fear and doubt
I'm trying to clean up the mess I made
You see I got a conscience like gasoline
I fuel the fire with everything they said it's stuck in my mind
If you got the keys then start the car and drive as far as you can
If you got the blood then you got the heart to give yourself a chance
Live to your fullest and own your name
Misunderstood, we are all misunderstood
Make peace with your pain
And never lose your flames
Seems like you've all been scarred
Look at it as some kind of beautiful art

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
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
There's a few places I can call home
Although, it seems when I get to those places I don't feel home at all
You know, cause I can come and go, but I alway find myself leaving
People always try to tell you how to live your life
They'll try to tell you about that other side
That the grass is greener and the sun always seems to shine
What they fail to realize is that storms and hard times
Have a certain beauty that can't be drowned out by the pretty sights
So, don't play by the rules of the game
Don't swim in an ocean of people
Trying to be found
Because you can always say this is your life
It's your way of never changing completely
When the storms and hard times end
The sky always seems to be the most beautiful of all the blues

Everybody Prays
Vinnie Brown Jul 2018
She had invisible horns
Blackened splits and hellfire eyes
Devilish and drawing
Calling to my every sin
Dancing in slow motion doused in hope
Fangs as pretty as can be
The words inked across both wrists “Everybody” and “Prays”
Subtle whisperings, asking of sins
The heat of her breath searing my face
“What? Lost your voice? Or just don’t know what to say?”
No, I suppose I don’t, I guess I’ll just have to pray

I get this feelin' that I'm losing it
I'm out of my head, can't you see, can't ya see me?
My bloods turned to wine, and I taste just fine
I'm climbing what's left just to see what in this world I need
Snow capped hills and mountain sides
Frostbit and lips bit
My blood taste just fine, aged perfectly red wine
A top of the world, a quest, a conquest
Treasured and traded
Learning to take it
Climbed all this way to find
I was wrong the entire time, but I swear I tried
I'm just so out of my head
Threw a prayer way up high and swing to miss it
I'm not quite sure what his answer will be
Climbed so **** high, just to find, what I need
It's at the bottom of my eyes
You'll be at the summit

The Shortest Three Hours
Vinnie Brown Jan 2017
We'll be caught in forever for a long time
But your touch gets me so high, and feeling sorry for myself at the same time
So unsafe is this temporary love I crave

She's my skinny love and we were never there I told her to be patient and I told her to be kind.

Set sail and its colorblind, hoping for a black and white
Seeing it rain down fire from the skies above
My wave my shark my demon in the dark
The blue tide pullin me under, Are you my soul my heart pull everything apart.

Said you'd always be my white blood, circulate the right love, elevate my soul above I need you right here with me, I'm ready to go and can't do it alone, and we're ready to fly to those impossible heights

Simple Beliefs
Vinnie Brown Apr 2016
She's a lot like home
Warmth and Smell
A smile that lights up like the fireflies woven in the grass
A laugh like the good beats playin' on the vinyl with the windows open

She's brand new and she makes me feel good
She has me wanting to believe
Simple tidings come in actions not words

All that shines hasn't always been gold to me
She's got diamonds in her eyes tonight
Dazzle me with gold
Throw away your gold

There's a human in your heart of hearts
In the mirror you're a work of art
Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment

She's got me believing that she isn't hiding from her true colors, they use to make her fall apart and she wants this more than neon lights and wasted youth.

Wonder If You Wonder
Vinnie Brown May 2017
The heart wants what it wants
You're a craving my sweet tooth can't deny
Words unsaid will haunt you forever
I learned that I have demons and they know me
Think of the things that they taught me
Whenever she calls, she calls for me
Angry and seething as the sea
Letting her down I will try not to be
When our feelings use to be child like
Till your eyes set my heart a fire
What if all the cost were even?
Would you want as much as I want you?
Do I cross your mind as often as you flood mine?
Asked if I reminisce of when we were together
All I can ever say is "All the time."

Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
I don't really know where I belong
And you are the light burning in my heart
And I am the storm bringing the shadows
Dancing in the memories

I am the cold, catching all of your breath
And you're the rain, battering my windows
We all have deals made with the devils inside
Saints and sinners we are, clothed in beautiful cages

There's a fire, raging outside
I can't seem to find my way through these busy sunset lights
There's a love burning inside my heart
A nightmare stuck and it's attempting to tear me apart
These troubles in my eyes, and the worries in my room
The nights fallin all around
I'll be waiting without a sound
I have trouble making smart decisions, caught up waiting in the rain, the unsuspected part is to see you waiting there with me

I'm on a journey
Just looking for where to run
I'm just looking for where Love is alive
Scared of the thought I'm losing it all

There's no one else
I'd rather have here around me
Running down the beach
Sinking our toes into the sand

My words got lost on the balance of silence
I hope you can understand
All of our chaos surrenders
Changing the waves and the tides
It'll be okay with you here by my side
The water can keep getting deeper
I'll be staying here right next to your side
Staying happily warm and dry
It's always too early to quit you say
And I just want to go where Love is alive

I wanted to disappear
And the world wouldn’t be the wiser
