Unknown
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Oh my dear
You're a creature the world doesn't produce quite often
The world longs to feel your bare feet amongst its skin
it craves to play its wind tipped fingers through your hair
It desires you so badly it's sun's heat dives into the gleams of your eyes
Cascaded in moonlit kisses to make an everlasting complexion
No, the world doesn't get more mysterious everyday, but you came along
A rarity unknown to many

Hope
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
She doesn't know
I've caught her a couple times
Waking before the sun
It's the same routine
Deep long breath
As she hugs herself tight
Does a softening stretch
A faint smile glistening on heated lips
She closes her eyes
Indulging in the silence of lost moments
Slow gentle openings as yesterday's tribulations and trials are now speckled laughs for a day
She has yet to realize that she is hope
Hope for all the helpless
For I am a raven and she is a dove
Yet she bares my heart an olive branch
And beckons me to wake with peck like kisses

Winter Burns
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Miles out, just you and I
Neck deep in the seas hands
You bet I couldn't outswim the sunrise
So, I cheated and dove down deep
Watched as the rays flew overhead
I found a moment to be brave
Cause' the deeper I went
The more I learned about the loss we feel
It's funny I got caught in the depths upon your calling
It's almost as if the demons got their call in
For the first time the ocean froze over
Caught beneath the ice, December knows me well
She whispered just loud enough to know
In the winter, she'll be there burning slow
Oct 2017 · 47
Translation
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
She has a proverbial laugh
Heard in all the corners of my mind
Somewhere lost in translation
Of the words my lips seem to press onto your dreams
Misunderstandings and farther reaching seas
Grabbing at the horizon of mixed wants and needs
As the moon looms around the the world
What happened to you and me?
Guess translation couldn't put us together even through my pleas
Oct 2017 · 80
Wisdom
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
My apologies dear
I'm sorry, that she'll get to see sides of me
That you deserved too

One More Night
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
When desolation comes upon your heart
Find your solace in remembering me
As you have problems with commitment
I have issues with imprisonment
Parting tides as feelings die
And honestly love is overrated in your mind
Although, if it was up to me
I might just be yours for one more night
Oct 2017 · 296
Millions of Miles
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
You asked why can't I stay
I'm just reluctant
To admit
I'm addicted
To being
Millions of miles
Away

Castles and Trees
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
You were born in a castle
Next to the sea
So, how do you plan on waking up next to me?
A boy born somewhere hidden in trees
Paradise is a place far from home
And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known
I hate all the things I love
And I love all the things that don't make sense
Like loving you
Oct 2017 · 112
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."
Oct 2017 · 103
Hide Away
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Sun flares in smiles
Cause' I was born with convictions
Torn between love addictions
There's no predictions in contradictions
White spots and star fades
And we're falling into misjudged trials
Worded blades and dulled kisses
So, tell me what you're thinking about
Cause' you'll have to tell me again
Who's got the self addressing issues
I'll admit I do, if only you do too
So, let me run away
I promise I'll hide away with you
Oct 2017 · 88
Prosecution
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
How curious for summer must end
As every line tends to cease
I feel you're incomplete
Yet, pushing to the ends of my reach
Even if you go unread
You'll still be one of my greatest treasures
For your words are me
Moonlit madden times
Suncrazed laughs and smiles
Just a glimpse to the realities
I'm dealing in time troves
For every line I write
Surely, does feel like a miss
So, here's a my confession
Summer may just be over
Oct 2017 · 86
Peace and Love
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
To the city of endless fun and adventure
Turned to nightmare horrors
Continue to shine
For where there is hope there is light
To men driven to maddened thoughts
With hearts turned to blackened splits
Know that where there is darkness the following days shine brighter
As the world will look upon today
And it will undoubtedly refuse to dim
Such is the glory of peace and love
My heart goes out to Vegas, but never lose hope in our world, for that is when we are truly lost.

Dissection
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
To the other
What about you is so much bettter than I?
Why were you deemed worthy?
To get to see sides of her I was suppose too
And all you have to do is be you
A repetition of drug induced self dissections
For love is a hell of a drug
And my souls closest love must be the scalpel
Sep 2017 · 113
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
Sep 2017 · 102
Unpredictable
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
How curious
The mind tries to plan all outcomes we shall face in life so, zealously
Except our hearts beg to run into love on such random occurrence
If we should end in fire, then we shall both burn together
Hope for binding resolutions from shattered skies and scorched earth
Let the tides wash away the hallowed souls
And, let us drown in the unpredictable struggles
Of what we hope our love is to be
Sep 2017 · 82
December
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Even with a heart of gold
There's turmoil that gets old
Drag me back to holy ground
For a moment it felt alright to burn
What a slow burn, I guess December chills really do know us that well

Skinny Love - J.S. Edition
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Today you're year older
Just a little more wiser
Heart of golden beliefs and faith
Giving the unworthy countless attempts
To make you smile that infectious smile
To make those bright blue eyes shine
For as Skinny Love goes
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?
To the girl who's frightened by tiny insects
And who's laugh can be pinpoint located in even the most zealous of crowds
To the girl who finds herself as nothing, but a goofy bookworm
Oh man, to the girl who's voice puts our souls into motion
I just want to say
Happy Birthday
It's funny, if you google the definition of Skinny Love, it's means the act of two people loving eachother, but they're too shy to admit it, except they show it in their actions.

Immortality
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Say the words
Let the hells call for me
Have them come home to thee
Beg for unseen sympathies
Born with empathetic atrophies
We're disaster and catastrophies
Yet, in our hearts we claim to be full of apologies
Our minds just enjoy to devour the blasphemies
Somewhere our souls are searching for lost moralities
How curious, I'll keep you alive with words, I've discovered
Immortality
Sep 2017 · 130
Time Bomb
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Take me on a journey
Far from what is known
Life is a stage
Reality the theme
Why is it all so strange that this life hasn't been seen?

I soak in your love,
Safety in your arms
Just stay by my side
I shall wait for your love
As I look into your eyes
I really love thee
For your love is the only thing to evoke me

Oh my dear, you're simply heaven above
Can I lay by your side?
Please do not smite me
I'll wait till all is done
Until you own me
Till your soft spoken melodies
Are mine

My sweet, ticking time bomb
I found deep down in the heart, of you
Light a match, let it spark
Blow my walls down
So, say the word and everywhere and anywhere I'll go
For I soak in your love and I feel safe in your arms
Sep 2017 · 145
Waterfalls
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
I should've seen this through
But, we both knew how this could end
Well, I guess things just don't change
You let feelings fade again
Except, I see you clear as day
You slipped right through my fingers in the rain
I'm lookin' at the clouds
You know I hate this weather
I swear we can work it out
If I'm not with you, how can I fall asleep again?
Just tell me the words that you want to say
Cause' when they finally leave your lips, you'll see I'm worlds away
If I need you, I'll see you in my dreams
Cause' you threw it all over waterfalls
Like they always told me
I would be the same but,
I'm just feelin phony
They don't really notice
You don't really know me
Sep 2017 · 88
Sorrows and War
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
To the sorrowing man
May apathy get lost searching for you
For the age of war is upon us
Sep 2017 · 99
Linger
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Words unfolded into complexities
Simple loves turned to untangled knots
Divided late into the nights
By an invisible line
Of who's side is who's
Although if you knew
That I inch ever so close
To your side when you're not there
Just to catch the scent that still lingers
In the absence of greatness
For when the shores kiss the tides
It's gentle retreat is that
Of when I watch you leave in the morning
Sep 2017 · 91
Her Storm
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
For she is my queen
Goddess of all my personal hells
Ruler of this heart
Torment and sweetness
Depths of madness only achieved
In craving kisses and unjustified bites
For the lands of my soul
Feel a despairing drought
When your love rains cease
So, please pour
Let your inner storm
Rage down upon
These fires within my heart
So, that you can begin to heal the charring remains
Sep 2017 · 179
Fever Rush
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
There's a certain simplicity
In taking five minutes
Just five simple minutes of solitude
To think back on all the good the world has to offer
To be humbled by your failures for the day
That the patter of rain or the sun coming up brings about a gentle peace
I've come to learn that the best medicine is to laugh and enjoy the moment
For she is in this moment undeniably life warming
With a fever rush smile
And eyes that smile brighter
Happiness temporary for sure
But, with her around, it seems to be more common than ever
Sep 2017 · 121
Falling Asleep In Fall
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
There's something about falling asleep
With the windows open
In the middle of fall
Hearing the breeze rushing through the crackling of leaves
As they soar so high and flow so low to the grounds beneath
Flowing like memories gone and past
How could you think this would be better for me?
Every now and then, I fear this voice inside my head
It tells me all the lies and says to let go
Then again, there's some nights I hear this voice inside my head
It tells me it's alright and I should hold you close
Uncountable times, forgiving you just to keep you by my side
Unsure why we waste our time
Spending all these gorgeous nights in this life
On and on and on, there's this thing it seems to me
That the leaves will grow back when the time is right
And walking away from what isn't right
Seems to be the only peace
I can get at night
J.S. This might not be exactly your idea of what you want fall to be, but I think you'll enjoy it regardless
Sep 2017 · 98
Love Stories
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
After the endless battle
She threw one last spear
Etched along the shaft
"You deserve to be unhappy."
"For how else would you make pretty worded love stories?"
Sep 2017 · 123
Iridescence
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
I am stuck
Believing in this romantic driven fantasy
In a world, that just doesn't seem to have the vacancy
As in the times of plagues and pharoahs
Love sat upon bows and arrows
Bring on your forces nature, let the storm rage
Cause' in the eye of the storm, there's a calming stage
As even the color black has iridescence
For her face is my idea of divine quintessence and the corruption of man's hearts can change from love's presence
Such is that of love's essence
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
For this moment, think and feel
Let your love lead through the darkness
As the soft static skies on early mornings
With heavy rains, there's something about her that's just so drawing
You can stay a little longer
I mean if you want too
Suppose it's midnight somewhere
And, only time will tell
Silence of the rain, love is not all in vain
Our journeys just begun
Hand in hand
We'll travel among the moon, the stars, and sun
Cause' the way I see things
We shouldn't look back
Dancing in the dark
Sep 2017 · 101
Body Glows
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
For she is more than skin and bone
To the waves and shores of a mind
To the feelings of fire and flood
Better she can be, as can we all
As moments of torture
Nature and nurture
Caressing of a light on fire
For even in the dark
She is a torch
Body glows and heart throws
Sep 2017 · 104
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

Time Travel
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
For the mind that just won't sleep
These violent ends, have violent delights
And right now, in the dark of the moon
I just can't seem to figure you out
Like a haunting call, begging for help
Always a prisoner
Just what exactly is salvation?
Locked in a cycle
For the beauty in every final moment
Is that we don't get to live it again
And the peace within a moment
Can never come again
Sep 2017 · 109
Mariana
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
I lost you
Like the sand under my feet
When the waves rushed back
Dragged back to the black silver ocean
Into the arms of a lover
Who doesn't quite look like me
To the depths of an endless beauty
To the deepest trenches of dark warmths
A long lost lover
Bound to the locker
For I am your own
Davey Jones
And forever I am bound
Delivering the hearts of your lovers
To the souls who are bearing witness, may the jars of sand amongst your windowsill cast images of the oceans everywhere you look.
Sep 2017 · 106
She's A Speeding Bullet
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Mind over matter
She won't be told
Won't be thrown
Born a lion
So, reliant and defiant
Standing amongst the great giants
Asking let me be me
Let me speak, let me reach my peak
You're on fire
Green light, take flight
One life
Go faster
Sep 2017 · 101
What I Believe
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
To my mother
And
My long lost lovers
May these words
Give you a glimpse
Of the reality
That such is my world
And to the souls
Who will bare witness
Have hope
For love is real
I know it is
I've seen it
I just couldn't grab it.

Gods and Devils
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
The heart has died a time or two
Yet, the courage still remains
A new narrative
A fiction rooted in truths
In a world in flames
With a villain called Love
As the story goes
The sun loved the moon
As the waves kiss the shore
And the hero is death
Pitted to lose
For love and life are but the great devils
Descended the gods from the heavens
For in our back story we were lovers
Chasing inspiration
Weaving the old into the new
Treating the pestilence
With simple kisses
Consumed by hope
Seeing something that isn't there
Careful not to bite
We don't forget, what is always there
And sometimes it's so unreal
There will always be some mornings that we will forget where we are and we'll reach for one another across the endless scapes of the mattress we call home
Sep 2017 · 138
Torches
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
The storms are raging
Pray the lighthouse guides us
Please light the night with your torches
Set the night on fire
Let the land be among the scorches
Winds and waves
Oh, bring on your forces nature
Cause these times are torture
Bring on your plagues and famine
Leave it all in the darkness
Let the torches
Light the night
With everything going on in the world from wildfires to hurricanes, I hope you're all safe.
Sep 2017 · 131
Light
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
When my body starts turning in
I hope I'll have my mind
Inside I'll bide my time
The disdain I feel for me is so laughable
Yet, the dark is insatiable
I'm ugly, only half a man
Love me, and I'll drop your hand
I'm gonna stay inside
Nothing's getting in, I think I lost my fight
Except it's coming and it'll find its way inside
It has too
It's the light
Sep 2017 · 112
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
Sep 2017 · 95
Paradox
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Their love was something of wonder
For he was an unmovable object
And she was an unstoppable force
Stuck in their paradox
Of endless struggle



That must be what love is.
Sep 2017 · 101
Forever
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
I'm struggling with mortality
Oh, Honey this world is mine
****, I just want to live forever
Feet don't fail me now, I just want to go
Sticks and stones, a couple broken bones
I've just been wanting to be scared
The beatings over now
Still I'll have my crown
Free to be free is pain
I'll incite the riot
I just don't know any better
I just want to ******* live forever
Sep 2017 · 104
Tempted Fate
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Nothing is ever perfect
I suppose it's human curiousity
To tempt the fates
Just to grab the flames of a lover
When I lay me down
I pray, we keep each day
Just please stay with me
Sep 2017 · 162
Bloodsport
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
I know you hate me
And your imperfections are quaint
And I'll probably fall short
So, break right
For your love, I'll always wait
When you have a turn
I'm all yours on all fours
I'll drive you crazy
You'll always return
They never teach you growing up
That loving is such a bloodsport
Cause' things get so ugly
But, were still a team
We sometimes break from within
That's why you're stronger
And that's how you always win
Fighting love's war
Written at 3:45 AM, when you seem to be the only thing that just won't let me sleep.
Sep 2017 · 97
The Sailor and The Shark
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
In the depths
Of the big beautiful sea
A creature does follow me
Beautiful terrors of the abyss
A love you'd surely miss
My demon in the dark
Forever bound to the blood I bleed
At the core still a love shark
As love isn't just black and white
For if we make it through the midnight hours tonight
We'll be alright
Don't forget the sailor born to a starry night
Only ever feeling safe in the salt water plights
Like two stars circling in desperate collision
There's a love tension
Between the sea of you and me
To the heavens here my pleas
Let the blue tides come and wash away apathy
Sep 2017 · 91
L.J.
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
Caught you dancing in the corner of my eye
You're a beauty, baby girl and I can't say goodbye
Can I go back to that night we had
A once in a lifetime kiss, it drove me mad
Laying arm in arm in the midnight summers laugh
Memories cut like diamonds, made to last
You always come sprinting back
To my mind
Seeing you every time you look your best
Take me back to that time you laid your head on my chest
I swear I don't belong here
For there are parallel universes where this didn't happen
And you and I made it out alive
So, I choose there, that is where my heart resides
Cause' a kiss from you is surely heaven sent
Let's get lost somewhere east of Eden
Sep 2017 · 111
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

Journal Entry: 47
Vinnie Brown Sep 2017
-The year is 2050 and we're on route to the year 2017.
-Time travel has been invented for around 12 years.
-Captain Elsen Decker of the USS Apathy is our commanding officer.
He's a man of 57 and decently handsome, a scar through his right eyebrow and a smirk you'll never forget, his most notable feature although is his stark hazel eyes. Always gleaming and curious through any event we encounter, he's a hard man and almost seems heartless at times, as if some great divide has clouded his heart, seeing  him at times you could even say there's regret.

-I'm not sure our mission objective, although considering we are using time travel I assume it's of some importance. Capt. Decker was chosen specifically for this objective as he is considered to be one of the only people who can change the outcome of the scenarios that unfolded that day.

-We have arrived in the year 2017.

-Capt. Decker stands alone with a young man of the age of 24, he doesn't release any information to us of the man.

-He pulled a stool up to the man alone at the bar and proceeds to whisper softly into the mans ear, gently squeezes his shoulder and leaves.

-We have arrived back in the year 2050, and after our initial screening to see if we have altered the present time, it seems we're in the clear, except Capt. Decker his eyes are gleaming more than before and as we go to depart from such a short non-invasive mission I'm struck with curiosity.

-The year is 2051, a year has gone by and I'm still not sure our objective of that mission, and it haunts me. So, I've found Captain Decker and pleaded with him to tell me everything.

-Captain Decker at the age of 24 could be found in a bar alone, confused and heartbroken. The woman he thought he loved was no longer his to love he recalls, and anger and chaos had consumed his every being. Until one day a man approached whispered sweet nothings into his ears and said "Fear not, for there are a many great loves in life, and she will forever remain one of them, but have faith in love for it is real, and it has taken me till now to believe it."
I wanted to play around with a journal entry style of writing, I hope you enjoy it.

When the person you want moves faster than you

Name
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
So, point all of the blame
As I am the pain
For that is our game
Since we are one and the same
Just a dangerous train
A heart ready to be maimed
Cut deep from glass and shattered picture frames
A never dying flame
Creating the tenth circle of hell within my brain
Forever cursed with your name

The Amazing Spider-Man 2?

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
