“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

Lovely
Vinnie Brown May 2019
I have lovely days
When I’m with you
The way you move
Makes my mind stray
It’s everything you do
Like the way you say my name
I have lovely nights
When I’m with you
And when the morning comes
When we’re dancing free
I’ll have lovely days
If I’m with you

Stranglehold
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
I'd run to the far ends
To the heart of the volcanic oceans
Sacrificial loves, strangleholds
For, she knows me more than I care to admit
You're the only one to know how this gets worse
I'll rush to miss you one more day
Let's go far away
Hearts thrown out days before
Anger risen in boiled sea licked sympathies
Lover's born in times of shame, taught in time to be so tame

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

The Amazing Spider-Man
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
Have you ever watched
The Amazing Spider-Man 2?
Most guys are like that
Wanting to be Peter Parker
We all have our own Gwen
We just get lost trying to save the world
Trying to be Spider-Man

Utterly Perfect
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
I've been told my expectations are too high
To lower my standards
That what I seek isn't a reality
And I have probably passed up
A beautiful mind
Or
A beautiful face
But, I cannot change this vision of mine
She's out there
Utterly perfect in all of her imperfections

Finish Line
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Trying to make something timeless
Begging to stay tireless
In the hour of devastations
Words and self representations
Fed up and I'm tired
Book isn't finished and I'm thinking of retiring
As I'm not sure when to stop and what you demand of me
Is my soul and mind the fee for you to be complete?
How far are we gonna go? There's only so many sides to me
So, dear reader which side do you wish to see?

Inamorata
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Undoubtedly shaken
In what seems an ocean's current
Grasp of fury and hell
How else does one describe
The rift of mind and body
Torn at the seams
For where loves fire looms
There is sure to be burn victims
And blown out candles
As she asked me of death and dying
To what do I owe the pleasure?
Of chaos and peace
As oblivion reigns
For the way home
Is on the horizon
And we shall be on our way
My inamorata

High
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
I'm so high
Could either be the drugs or the moment
Either way I
Can't take my eyes off of you
104 · Oct 2017
Fire
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
You burned me
For even in the darkness
She shines
Demanding to be her own flame
Soft caressing warnings
"Next time I'll set you on fire."

One More Night
Vinnie Brown Nov 2018
I seem to lose my way
When the end is in sight
Maybe I’m running blind
I miss the sunset
That I’ve never even seen
I want those grey skies
Cause’ the suns just boring me
When the rain is on my face
You know I dream of far away
So, let’s stay up till the morning
Even if we never see the light
There’s so much to find
So, just give me one more night

Pillars of Salt
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Out of all the drugs we have to take
You're the one I want to take
Childlike and so regressive
Broken taboo's and unheard messages
Because if I don't, I'll be alone forever
What's wrong with being alone?
Her last whisper was "I'm just not good at it."
Sounds pretty lonely to rely on someone else for happiness
We could still be lover's
As the oceans become red
For the second trumpet has been blown
And the burning mountains
Shall sit the Salt King
Among his throne of the sun and the moon
Vinnie Brown Jan 2018
I came to a fork in the road
One to hell and the other heavenly
The devil standing to the left
Said they both lead to death, invitingly
So, I plan to cheat and took both shoes off
Threw one as far as I could to hell
And sprinted to heaven just to see
I can’t help, but love humanity
Lost in the search for identity
Along our journeys we found empathy
Dodging heartbreaks in war torn countries
We traded a life of riches and temporaries
To help the poor and ill
Cause if it’s not us nobody will
I don’t know where
Our path will lead
But, I beg we follow our feet

Restitution
Vinnie Brown Dec 2019
Tear me limb from limb
Due to dissonance
Make sure to salt these wounds
Bury me deep in the ground
Where I feel so home
Beneath the stars
103 · Mar 2018
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

Not Necessarily Poetry
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

Empheral
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
You two reached an impasse
For just tonight
Except peace is always empheral
And tomorrow a heart shall be broken
But, who’s shall it be?

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.

Crazy Times
Vinnie Brown Jan 2019
It seems that I'm not the only one
Who's feeling what were all feeling
I find myself catching news
That we all need a little bit of healing
It seems that we're testing the waters of the deep end
Just reach out your hand to mine
For some hearts just need a little bit of solace

In these crazy...times.

Into The Night
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
Caught me by surprise
Dragging me down to the ocean side
So foreign and I like it
Waist deep and I can't fight it
Whisper in my ear
With her voice from the heavens
Askin' where I want to be
Whisper back wherever you want me
Cause home is you
So, tell me what is it you want to do?
Let's take a ride
Into the night

Hiatus
Vinnie Brown Jan 2018
Tonight, I’ve had my heart broken and so I’m just going to take a break from all forms of communication and such is this. I truly appreciate all of you who admire my work and you’re all fantastic writers, I purely just need some time to re-evaluate myself as an individual. I want to personally thank you all for your support and wish you nothing, but the best in your adventures with beautiful words and emotional delicacies.

With all my heart, I hope to find your words caressing my thoughts in a endless sea one of these days.

Slippery Slope
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
I apologize
That I cannot seem to use
Enough words to describe
Your level of perfectness
I'm still slipping down this slippery *****
After all this time

Creatures
Vinnie Brown Nov 2018
And oh, how we search
For humbleness
In such unhumble ways
As if by nature
Designed for want
Never if by necessity

Salt Licked
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
Maybe I need to compromise
Although my dear, my way is heavy
I have been on the road
And I'm not quite sure which way to go
Searching through the constellations for one I can't seem to find
Hope your face lights up the sky and see the stars re-align
Can you come and rescue me?
Cause' babe we're getting lost out at sea
It's so lovely out here
Amongst the salt licked sympathies

Neptune’s Prison
Vinnie Brown Sep 2019
I use to crave a place
Where I could disappear to
Without any traces
Slip through all these chains
Trapped at the bottom with my thoughts
Always feeling heavy in my chest
Sending out countless SOS
How long till I catch my breath?
Will it be before my heart stops racing?
Or will we wait half an eternity
At the bottom of the sea
While these dreams seem fleeting
Peacefully sleeping, all along still beating
Neptune’s prisoner to be
Waiting for you to save me

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
100 · Oct 2017
Love Riddled
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Run away to our special place
Counting stars in depths of space
Flashing in front of the nights
Open skies and wave crashed twilights
We've been strangers for a while
Lover's pleaded guilty on trial
It seems this time we've been deceived
To the norms of humanities disease
So, meet me back at the shore
We'll make it to the door
We can make it out of this drought
Watch our lives unfurl, running in circles
So, pull me in closer
Fight for our love, love riddled soldier
Can I breathe in your love?
Necessity that brings us above
100 · Oct 2017
The Judge and The Jury
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
It seems the judge and the jury
tried to buy me time
I just might be guilty of this crime
It's as if I left the window open overnight
As there are somedays I wake and the world doesn't shine as bright
Maybe it's me and my brain that just don't fit together quite right
The memories I thought I left behind
Those tire tracks just talk dirt behind my back
The more I'm happy the less that you see
Writing salt licked sympathies to show the world just what I'm finding out about me
100 · Jul 2020
Ocean Songs
Vinnie Brown Jul 2020
To the seas
Where you cast your love
Reel me in
Warm me next to the fire
Until the high tide
Drowns our worries tonight
And the lighthouse light
Let’s the late night world
Know we’re dancing
Waiting on the ocean’s songs
100 · Oct 2017
Pride
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
She asked why I'm addicted to solitude
Do I truly need it?
I beg to plead the fifth
Bargaining with lost lay of the lands
Wishing to be lost
Sunsets in streetlights
Certain beauties in midnights
In the late hours
You start to remember what we call ours
Learning it's okay to fall
Sometimes it's not for love,
For the mind craves heavy drugs
And some pursue trust, while after lust
I'm stuck with pride
100 · Aug 2017
Paris
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
Lovely weather as the dark comes
They start to light the Eiffel
As I stand on the balcony
Above the city of love
Thinking she must be down there
A lover in a loveless wasteland

Saving Sanity
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
In an unrelenting fashion
My mind just craves what it can't seem to have
Thrones built on pretty lies
For you are insanity
To save my sanity
The conclusion is to fall in love with insanity
For there is the idea of falling
And I just want to rise
Except across the room
You have the high ground and line of sight
A divide, a moment apart
With thin floors and tall ceilings
The corners of the earth are just memories
The night is late, just show me the fall
To your dark fantasies
99 · Oct 2017
Herself
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
She had irrational fear
That no one would love her again
Like you did
It was quite some time later
She woke before the sun
Snuggled up in a sweater
Sipping on coffee
Gazing out into the peaceful morning
As the faint greys came to light
She began to realize
She could

Holidays
Vinnie Brown Dec 2017
To the desolate
And the lost
You’re not alone on this holiday
For you are in my thoughts
Merry Christmas

Alcohol
Vinnie Brown Feb 2018
What's your poison?
What makes you lust for it's divine taste when it hits your lips?
Whiskey, *****, beer, tequila even maybe?
Maybe it's the yearning for sobriety
Just to be dragged back to drunken loves
When romance and wine called for slow dances
And maybe when the shadow settles on the place the bottles left
Your wants and desires will come rushing back
For you are an addict, troubled by emptiness
Filling voids of fiery liquids and slurred thoughts
And our minds are troubled by the what ifs
99 · Oct 2020
My Everest
Vinnie Brown Oct 2020
The shape of her naked curves
Casted against the wall
In the pure moonlight
Crashing waves whispering her to sleep
Sleep struggled murmurs
I'd rather be here than anywhere in the world
Even Everest and the deep black mass
For you are my Everest
My ocean of black
Further more
You are in essence
Life itself
99 · Aug 2017
Cemetery
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
It took only but a few minutes
Finding the worn headstone
Never forgetting
Who could forget such a love
Accepting the silence
Undoubtedly one day my name will disappear
For this cemetery
Is where I've buried myself
For each one of my long lost lovers
From name tree carvings
And spoiled chocolate valentines
To the everlasting reds in the roses of dead petals
Of all the starlights in the brilliance of diamond rings
For a wise man told me
Love is narcissistic
And you only find someone to love you
As much as you love yourself
Not realizing he was wrong, until her beautiful face
Told me she loved me, just to love me

Goodbye California
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
I’m here in California
And the thousand miles away
Still my minds calling for ya
Running away from Hollywood and the valley
Cause’ there’s the winter snows and northern winds
So, give it a week and I’ll be saying goodbye to Cali
I just can’t seem to leave you alone
So, here soon I’ll be heading home

Cycles
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
I think the reason we fall into cycles
Is because we need one another
Like the sun and the moon
It just seems like we keep missing though
Maybe one day
We might get lucky enough
That we might just eclipse

Risk
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
As she was parting for the last time
She leaned up and gave him one last kiss
Flat footed, she straightened his shirt
Wiped away the single tear on his cheek
She tucked her face into his chest and said
“It’s noway to live empty inside, I just need to feel alive, and so I’ll take the risk even if I die.”
As she drove away, she wondered if she’d ever be good enough
I guess she’ll just have to find out in every tomorrow

Wayfarer
Vinnie Brown Jun 2020
It’s as if my feet have bled through
Yet, the motion never stops
The sound of the waves ease the stillness
Always searching for where my ever drifting heart may be
Coming across entire oceans
To lands undiscovered
Foreign and feral
To find that my love resides in a girl
Her love is infinite and mighty
The best part of the ocean currents
Warm and wispy
Making sure I’m guided home
To where I need to be
98 · Jun 2020
Sight Seeing
Vinnie Brown Jun 2020
They asked of perfect sights to see
What came to mind was all but cliche
Wind scraped mountains with covered snow peaks
To the dark black ocean waves lapping at their toes
What I found to be reality, wasn't that of far off views
The perfect sight I found
Was when I went to bed
I saw her laying there with my son in her arms
Frozen in time
As beautiful as the day I first saw her
He just as beautiful as her
Just for that of a second
Time stood still
And I wouldn't go sight seeing for any view in the world
98 · Nov 2018
Somedays
Vinnie Brown Nov 2018
Society has this way of telling you
To feel this
Or to feel that
When I find it perfectly acceptable
With feeling nothing at all
Somedays just taste like lemonade

Let Our Voices Echo
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Losing track to your master plan
Drowning again on oxygen
Take me back to when I was ten
Ask a younger me to describe what love feels like again
Cause fourteen years later and I swear it's just a life killing carcinogen
Love is just a bad acronym

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
97 · Nov 2017
Up High
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
For I struggle with you
And therefore I have never known to call
Yet is it possible
I see you in small moments
Of glimpses in silence
When everything feels right
Even if temporary
In the snow flakes in january
Or the suns rays as they caress me
We’re all so unpredictable
Pulled by the currents of life away
Finding time for you seems impossible
To pray to something that could be a lie
Is this my breath in your lungs?
Maybe I am the ship
And you’re the rogue wave
Come to sink me
As you sit high on the upper circles
Locked away in the clouds
Behind golden gates
Chained shut to me
97 · Aug 2017
Somewhere Hidden
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
From birth
Born so **** insecure
Not ever believing if love is real
Disregard if we'll ever be sure
Cause' humans were born to feel
And in the shadows there's a place for us
Somewhere hidden they can't find our love
I was the trust and patience
You were the confident ways
And sometimes we're missing
Lost under the waves
I know it's alright, we've been under pressure
I believe, we'll make it through together

Aesthetic
Vinnie Brown Oct 2018
I have this aesthetic idea in my head
Oddly enough it always calls for me
Being dead

Demon
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Your mother's love and fathers care
Never teach you that the real monsters
Aren't under your bed, they're lying in it
Next to you
Unspoken blood oaths
Secrets carved into each others skin
Both in pain, but one to blame
Scott free and carefree
I wonder why only one of us
Got stuck being the demon in the dark
But, even demons have truthful lights
