There are doors
We find ourselves locked beyond
Where we must suffer
From the sins we’ve committed
Dragged to the endless oceans of
Where the Devils we’ve become
Beckon us further into hells we’ve created
As we sail ships into burning heavens
On fire from all the things we’ve done
Where they cook magnificent meals of delicious pain and we slumber in final battles of broken churches

TA:TF

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

Revel

What do you say
Wanna revel
In the not good times?

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

Ungodly After All
Vinnie Brown Apr 2018
I wish I knew
What it was
That reminded us godly creatures
What makes us human.

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

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.

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

— The End —
