Consistent
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
When it comes to your love, tell me who's the most consistent
When you need love, I'll always be persistent
Keep me at a distance
Just ask and I'll be home in an instant
Wasting all of this time
The thing is, I don't mind
Jul 2017 · 199
Lover
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
If the richer man laid his eyes on you
Would you stay as cold as a statue?
Would my love still be good for you?
If I told you that I'd never lay with some other lover
Cause' darlin' your my only and I'll never need another
Jul 2017 · 266
Disappear
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
If I asked so sweetly, would you pack up all your stuff and get out of here?
Tell all our friends and family we might just come back next year
Run to the end of the oceans, where space and time collide, when they finally figure out we're never coming home and our names are finally forgotten and we've all, but disappeared
Jul 2017 · 265
Seasons Change
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
Everstrong
Mountains in the waves
Crossing the seas
Can't seem to find my home where we are
Watching seasons change
Roads with never ending adventures
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Letting go of memories
Standing tall in this world that I've made

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
Jun 2017 · 514
Dark Worlds
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
And for a second
He opened himself up to a dark world
Because her love
Seem to make it just a bit brighter for a lifetime
Jun 2017 · 222
Long Night Out
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
Ever wake up from a long night out?
When you're not sure if you're still drunk or hung over
You're stumbling through the hall
Stopping half way and bracing yourself using both arms against the grace of the unfaltering walls
When all of the blurred memories are dashing behind your eyes
Finally make it to the kitchen with the homely smell of coffee brewing
Snuggled up tight and grasped by an amazing sweater watching the drizzle out the window
That's what your love does to me.
Jun 2017 · 699
Morning
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
Last night I dreamed of a woman
Dark beautiful eyes
Her presence brought me to life
Ignited my soul into motion
There's only one thing I just have to know
Would you be there in the morning?
Would you stay here from the sunset to the sunrise when I decide to open both of my eyes?
Jun 2017 · 325
Love Swirls
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
In your love swirls
The whirlwind pools
Drag me down
Too deep
Jun 2017 · 232
T.A.Z
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
You were a lot like the game that day
Sun shining bright almost matches that blonde perfection
Perfectly green cut grass made your eyes look ablaze in emerald
Puffy white clouds and pearly smiles
There's nothing I would've changed
Most days in baseball and a pretty girl
Just seem to be good for the heart
Jun 2017 · 258
Love and Other Sins
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
Love each other like there ain't another day
Lead with our hearts, I swear that's the only way
Let's keep our heads from thinking what we could lose today
I guess, when all of this is finally over, I'm just finally asking you
Oh my love, won't you just please stay?
Jun 2017 · 272
Fireproof
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
I'll be the first to admit, I am not fireproof
I feel it burning me
Oh, and darling isn't it just scorching you?
I really hope I don't ****** me
If only being sent to heaven wasn't such a burden too
If only we say oh, we do, we do
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
Jun 2017 · 216
Imprinted
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
To not know who I am, but still know that I'm still good for somebody
Just want a love that I can say I found impossibly
Cause you know I have my many convictions and they're stronger than any addiction
I'm really hoping this won't keep me awake
Cause, I honestly feel like a sunset just about to fade
The greatest violence that I've seen is our recent silence
Reading my mind just as if we were naked
Painted in one another such beautiful art permanently imprinted forever on my heart
Always trying to find my way back to the start
Because it seems to be every time I try and fall in love it falls apart
Jun 2017 · 282
Red and White
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
It would be quite a thing to see our hearts break and age like fine wine
Wanted by someone ready to get drunk in our flavorful taste

She's as dark as the red that stains my lips
Stronger than most highs, especially the glances from those eyes
We have this all, so let's just share all these best years

You're my drug of choice, not popping pills
As long as it's you, I'll never have my fill
Older now, seems to be we went from nothing to everything
Can't believe we never found each till we started running
Whites over red, seem to get to us
White dress and black tux, red just happened to be an accent, not sure what was the fuss

Do you recall? Those years
We didn't know each other's names
Just love drunk on red and white
Jun 2017 · 203
Promise
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
New fame in darkness
Moving on was a promise
Lessons the heart learned from all of this

Lost my soul in the city of angels
Diamond chains from which my heart dangles
Toxic love which always seems strangle

Just being honest
I'm moving on I promise
Jun 2017 · 253
A Life Less Frightening
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
Why deny that you and I
Got swept away by the high tide
To be found lost again on stranger sides
Jun 2017 · 268
On The Other Hand
Vinnie Brown Jun 2017
You've been drinking
You've been smoking
Trying to forget me
Since the day you left me

You know people come and people go
We both know looks can be deceiving
We'll stay on breathing knowing that you'll be leaving
Somewhere deep in your bones
You're not one for power
I know you've got your eyes on the throne
I'm not the one that you're using
Just like the attention, it's self abusing
A plan is great, but I know you'd rather slowly feel this all out
The only problem is my lack of relationships fills me with doubt
You know people come and go, but this time I'm leaving
It looks pretty hard, but trust me looks can be deceiving

Waves pt. 2
Vinnie Brown May 2017
I got you feeling
Some wanting type of way
Crash into me like the waves
Love seeing you pull me to the top
Slow on the breathing
Floating away
Drowning in me
I know that you can't get enough
Crashing together high tide
Swells in our life wells
Love marks and bitten lips
I can see in your eyes that you want to just drown
I can see in your eyes that you want to go now
Drown in me.
May 2017 · 222
Reborn
Vinnie Brown May 2017
And so, tomorrow
She will wear a white dress
To the funeral
As she buries the old
And from the hurt
Rises beautifulness
Not yet comprehended

A Message To My Muse
Vinnie Brown May 2017
There are 31,536,000 seconds in a year
I wonder how many of them
I'll spend with you in mind
Burning through the minutes talking
Swimming through the hours touching
Flying through the years loving
Hey, maybe time will be on our side
Opposite of death wishes
I got a love wish
Just be my last kiss
May 2017 · 202
Loop
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Rewatching a moment of you
A hundred times
Seeing things I want more and more every time
Your beauty is such a crime

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
May 2017 · 172
Me, Misery, and the Sea
Vinnie Brown May 2017
I will always run to the gorgeous sea
It seems to be
The only place that misery
Just can't follow me
May 2017 · 192
Smoke Screen
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Getting caught up choking on the air
These bones, they're black and charred from all the heavy years
We've lost control and life just so unclear
It's starting to feel like every day's the same fight
I know you just want to burn out
So, bright and be more than what you are
This half-life that you're leading, it just seems so ******* demeaning
Blocked and clouded by the smoke screen
But, I know you're doing all you can to stand again
The smoke will lift and you'll find what you've been searching for
May 2017 · 263
Maybe Someday Soon
Vinnie Brown May 2017
One day, when you wake up before the suns up
You'll realize that I was the man of your dreams
The sun won't rise and shine
It'll be a bit gloomier
You'll question to text me and fight within yourself to see what I am doing
The truth is, I might let you back in and I just might not
You'll have to earn your spot amongst the great things that reside within my heart
If you do manage to fight your way in
I'll never use your journey of life against you
Vinnie Brown May 2017
I got a fairytale in my heart I can't cope
But I've been keeping hope
They must've had you in mind when naming the rose
To chase one another in the moonlight
Kiss the landscapes of each other in the starlight
**** the guards, open the gates for feelings unbound
Get the love lost hearts inside the cold doesn't deserve such smiles
It would never be enough to see them only love once in a while
A boy trying to write and confess how he felt about the girl, kept running out of paper
She always knew that he'd wait for her
Both agreed never to get caught up in caution when love exist
May 2017 · 201
Crashed
Vinnie Brown May 2017
It feels so impossible to let you go
Biochemically addicted to you
I hope he's something special for sure
That the day shines a little brighter when his name pops up in your phone
I'll undoubtedly sit myself down
Dissect everything there is about myself
Till I can find the piece that you saw that said I couldn't be it
I won't get rid of it no, I'll study it and I'll learn from it
I'll try as carefully as I can to piece myself back together afterwards
Maybe editing a few set points here and there
There always seems to be in every scenario that one person has to take a step back for another to go
I suppose I'm just taking a seat for now
Hopefully someday I'll get to where I want to be
Today though? Well, today it sort of feels the worlds crashing all around me
May 2017 · 308
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."
May 2017 · 239
If I Believe You
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Been praying to a God I have trouble believing in
God,
        Watch over her in these times
Shine a light wherever she seems to go
Hug her in an embrace and show her she's never alone. Lighten her eyes on days the sun refuses to shine, and on her darkest days let her glow. She thinks she's an absolute mess sometimes, but she's a mess I want to call home. I'm asking you to help her along a path I can't take, and I'm begging you keep her safe. She's going to stumble and maybe even fall, please be the help she needs to stand tall, it can't be me, and so I need you now.
All the words I can't say directly

Thunder
Vinnie Brown May 2017
I walked in and said "Give me the most dangerous job we have today."
And they all replied "Why?"
What they don't know is that, that's the only way I can feel alive
I sometimes wonder if what I became was because I needed the loud machinery to drown out the thunderous beating within my chest
May 2017 · 271
Sins
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Maybe me not being able to have you
Is me having to pay for sins
I didn't know I had

Waves
Vinnie Brown May 2017
This bed is my raft
Afloat in the rocky big blue
Sometimes when I attempt to venture out
My toes are ever so slightly wet
Until I reach the door
I find myself drowning
You come in waves
May 2017 · 279
Find Yourself
Vinnie Brown May 2017
My dear,
It is going to be hard letting you go
The ultimate sacrifice
To become completely selfless
We must accept the fact that when we love someone
We shall put their happiness before our own
So, run and run fast darling
Find yourself, when you don't think you can
This is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do
I shall do it regardless though, because of the love I have for you
Come running back, when you know who you are.
May 2017 · 198
Sacrifice
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Honestly it truly hurts
To watch some of you artist
Give up on your dreams, when on the verge

You're all too scared to be something
People love to talk
Let your actions walk the walk

I'll just keep getting caught up staring at the city lights
Cause' you gotta have some ugly days
To have some pretty nights
Cut some people off
Some dreams take sacrifice
Sometimes that's just the price
May 2017 · 192
Life Line
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Throw me
Throw me a life line, baby

Say that I'm really sorry
Just please pick up the phone

Show me
Show me, that you really want me
Hold me
Love me
Need me
Although we've never fought, I just don't ever want to lose you Lace.
May 2017 · 211
To You Alone
Vinnie Brown May 2017
Cried out to you alone
Begging Life to just throw me a bone

Oh Life, how do you ever decide?
Oh Life, how long must we wait?

How do we fly to the sky?
My love, all we have to do is try

Oh Life, what do you know.
May 2017 · 967
Oh Brother
Vinnie Brown May 2017
The anger I feel
That you would leave me in a world
That I wouldn't want to be in, if you're not there
I guess I am partly to blame
Oh, how jealous I would be of you though
That you're happier without me
You have no idea how you can change the stars
Light up entire worlds
Oh Brother, don't change who you are
I found out my best friend tried to commit suicide and this is my coping.
May 2017 · 251
Never seem to have
Vinnie Brown May 2017
In these thunderous storms
I just want to be brave
Scared to death, I'm not good enough
Would you love me if I was famous?
Would you love me if I was not?
Been stressing out, been havin' sleepless nights
All your past lovers haunt me
Now I have your love
The kind of love I never seemed to have
Did you truly see me waver before the world knew my name
Did you really love Vinnie before the fame?
I want that love that never seems to fade away
May 2017 · 215
Sea Worthy
Vinnie Brown May 2017
It seems to be, that time is just not on our side
How ironic should that be to be carried away by the low tide
Maybe that's our life's long lost purpose to realize we don't have an eternity
That in our great being of mortality
We find our immortality
So, bring me your love tonight
These storms will undeniably grow so much fierce
In a hurricane of love that I have for you
Let's get lost at sea
May 2017 · 205
Lonely Nights
Vinnie Brown May 2017

And in all of the lonely nights
We seem to question
"Why are we like this?"

Divine Decree's
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Dear lord taking your name in vain
All these sins in life that I've made
Just another heart, feel myself go insane
Caught in negotiations with my devils I can't seem to dissuade

Waiting till she admits she loves me
Loving me must have some difficulty
Yet, she makes it seem so impossibly easy
As with these words, I've announced my love with divine decree

Dark hair like the long summer nights
Gorgeous smile like the glistening ocean tides
Green eyes just like the never trembling winter pines
Skin as soft as freshly landed snow
Lace and tied my world together
With her never ending laughs
She's the sum of what I believe is love
Apr 2017 · 278
Lungs
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Inhale
Exhale
Just take a breath and breathe
Cause' she is all that you need

In The Rain
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
Apr 2017 · 204

The Things We Chase
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
In the dark of the moon
When our hearts and minds are in chaos
When nothing seems to be in tune
At the end it seems as if we're always gifted loss

Running after things I just don't say
This life that we're living might haunt us forever
We're burning in hell if we're dying tonight
Hate what we're feeling, at least were honest
This change could be broken the rest of our life
Apr 2017 · 199
Saving Grace
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Yeah, I've learned I'm making a fool of myself
Letting these feelings I've felt
Get to the core of me
Making me freeze, get caught with weak knees
I get the idea, you might just leave

You let me suffer
Will you find another
These are our days that we'll remember

You'll always be here right beside me
And if all we have is what's left today
Then with hearts so pure in this broken place
I won't need anymore searching
Cause I think I've found my saving grace
Apr 2017 · 210
Love's Life Touch
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
I've been waiting for a night like tonight
Simple hello's and those eyes, oh god those eyes
Ablaze on the summer star light
Young and free, come with me and chase the fire flies

Hold on to our touch
Never giving up my love for you is this
I've never been able to offer up much
My love is what I can give, will you accept this one last kiss?

Darken days seem to pass
The fights seem to grow quite few
My life's been quite blessed, gifted a girl and the riches seem to amass
I never asked for much, cause all I want is you
I wanted this to be a progression of a love, two people refused to give up on.

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
