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

Volitions
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
They say God rested on the seventh day
I find that hard to accept
For we are supposedly created
In a semblance of his image
And upon my own volitions
I seem to revel too far in my creations
For written on me in invisible ink
Are the plethora of words
Depicting my faults
Maybe it isn’t the creation that’s feverish
Perhaps it’s the destruction in its awe
Worn away by the subtle kisses of time

Strokes
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
An infinite amount of piano strokes
In a everlasting minute
I think that's what my heart and mind felt
When I knew I was falling in love
Every key more beautiful than the last
It's coming so natural
Even the sharps and flats

To The Sun
Vinnie Brown Apr 2019
This town will never change
People come and go it’s all the same
Dip in and out of self peace
Just to see apathy on a dead end day
Vowing to run far away
Somewhere with a pretty name
To mend what’s ever so helplesss
Drowning out in already drained oceans
Where the sky reflects all the lonely
Asking you just one thing
When did you fall out love
Out of love
Out love with me
224 · Dec 2022
Gravestones
Vinnie Brown Dec 2022
Working with my demon
I swear I have good intentions
Promise it’s all based in decency
But, am I good person when I need to be?
Always putting myself above you
To feel important
I’ll always need your love to feel supported
When we die I hope they bury us in a forest
That’s if any are left, this life’s torment
If I get stuck in purgatory
I’ll consider it lucky
To spend more time with you
For my love.

Romantics
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
Lips like sunsets
See you begin to undress
Start to lose my head
Let's get magnetic
Make this life electric
I know you like it
I can feel you in my bones
Starting to feel a lot like home
You can be the lyric
On my melody
Let's get lost in the romantics

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.

Horizons
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
There's an invisible line
Where the waves conspire
To come rushing back again
And perhaps we shall meet again someday
A long long time from now
A little older
And a little less selfish

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

Used to You
Vinnie Brown Mar 2016
I got use to you
I got really use to you
You wasted all my time
Trying anything to keep you off my mind
I loss myself tonight

I thought I had it all figured out
You would never fall for me now
Wonder if you wonder why I'm never around
You can hear the pain in my sound
Vinnie Brown Feb 2017
Fitting in with the crowd
Like a puzzle piece
Forgotten glories
Delusional goals
I'm tired of getting all the answers
By mimicking others
Even if the stars that connect us
Could sing a gleaming song
Morning would still be broken
This life that we're living might haunt us forever
We're burning in hell if we're dying tonight
All of this changed and messed up and I still find myself addicted to You
I'm in love, I'm an addict I know.
216 · Jun 2017
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
215 · May 2017
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
215 · Dec 2016
C.C.
Vinnie Brown Dec 2016
Blue eyes and a smile to die for
You make it so hard to say no
In a dark room in cold sheets
I lost myself in your face, your medicine is in my head
oh, the habits of my heart
It's ripping me apart
You get so close
It's so hard to let you go
She told him "You're confident, I'll give you that, but if you love yourself you can **** yourself."
At times I think I'd rather be alone, but then I see your name pop up on my phone
I tell myself I like that
When I have my hands tied behind my back
It's a game just for us, and you're not the losing kind

Downfall
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
Can someone somewhere in this downfall
Explain when *** became less expressive and so excessive?
For the fires that lash out from your bodies are the only thing that burn
And we all have love lessons needing to be learned
Minds in the hours of desolation and devastation
Yet, all the hearts are still alive
Bound to love addictions
Attempting to conquer selfish convictions
Lost in contradictions
For now learn to be alone you’ll both be better off, even if it doesn’t feel that way all
Until one day when the right one comes along, and you’ll be ready for the fall
211 · May 2017
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.

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.

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.

Horizon
Vinnie Brown Feb 2017
Highway love's going to mess me up
Night's like these when I need your touch
I find it funny, that we just keep running
But we just can't seem to catch this horizon
It seems the sun's going down and we're out of time
This feels like an end, I can't seem to rewrite
In this lasting moment
What is once well done is done forever

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.

Vulnerable (10w)
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
Love
Reckless and defenseless
Open and vulnerable, isn't it wonderful?
As for you dear, what an adventure it's going to be, earning your love.

Wants and needs
Vinnie Brown Dec 2016
The mind is a fickle thing
Attracted to pretty lies
And prettier faces
Ugly souls and broken hearts
Green paper and shiny cars
I just need the winter pines
And the soft breezy wind
A long shot cause
And my run away brain
Tell me that you love me
Even if it's fake
Tell me pretty lies look me in the face tell me that you love me, even if I know it's fake
208 · Feb 2017
Droplets
Vinnie Brown Feb 2017
These attempts will only be that of a drop in a limitless ocean
But what is an ocean, but a multitude of drops
Hold me close tonight
Until we both know the truth
Let me shut my lips
Before you spill your heart and soul to me
I'm still trying to figure it out, in what you saw
This silence burns me up
I'd rather turn back and run away
Then face the way we're suppose to feel
You whispered in my ear to take a breath so you know it's real
You knew you were there for me
You were loving me carefully
Still saying "Stay quiet, be my love."
207 · Sep 2017
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

Lonely Nights

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

Vinnie Brown Dec 2017
I swear if you make it to me
I can promise you’ll see
That this is where you should be
I believe you’re the one designed for me
If this is a puzzle it would be complete
I hate that time moves ever so slow
I just want you to know
That you might be a stranger today
But, tomorrow you could be
The cold December air bites at my heart
If I just find my way back to the start
I’d convince my mind to run away to you
Oh, my love what shall we do?
For this shall be one last romance
For somedays I don’t believe in love
Yet, I still take chances
And the details of our love shall be on page four
In The Endless Summer’s grand scheme of things

Night Fall
Vinnie Brown Jul 2017
It's funny
How a flash of your smile
Can cause my quiet life
To be so slowly distorted
Speak the words on your mind
Oh dear, here you go
Waste away into the night fall
Hands are shaking from the lovers lost call
Oh babe, I'm so ready, holding steady

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

Midnight Loves
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
Oh, I swear I've been here before
The moons shining on the bed and floor
Our body tingles never bore
This kiss will even the score
Pinch me till I'm sore
A beggar's rich and I've never been poor
A love like you, who could ask for more?

Memorizing your face from last night
In those eyes I caught the light
And it's been way too long I know
But, baby I can hear our song on the radio

See your face it blows my mind
Just a young boy running through the summers as the heats hittin ninety-nine
Putting my Sunday best on like my mama taught me run and find my girl that's mine

Pull up a chair and take a seat when your ready to ride
Cruisin' down the coast tryin' to beat it to the hide tide
Driven' past the beach as you fell asleep right next to my side
I wouldn't want to spend it with anyone other than you
Couldn't decide which was a more beautiful view

Endure
Vinnie Brown Dec 2017
I’m alright
That’s just a lie
So, please stay for the night
Cause’ nothing’s right when you’re gone
Don’t want the world to know what makes me weak
Afraid the world might see that side of me
Cause the worlds so monochrome
Yet, let me tell you why
I wouldn’t mind to be wrong
Cause’ she brings all the coloring around
You either know or you don’t
I can’t even trace where this love line begins
Dancing hand in hand with me
Sometimes I forget to breathe
Somewhere along the line I got poisoned
My thoughts we’re cursed
Oh, lover how your words
Became my cure
For if this is the world I’m given
With your love I’m sure
I shall endure
For Annie, what seems like a lifetime is just a day in the life I get with you
201 · May 2017
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

Twenty-Eight
Vinnie Brown Jun 2021
I began writing here at the age of twenty
Eight years later, some days and nights
I found those clouds I saw off in the distance
She had bright blue eyes
Pink lemonade lips
Those aren't what made me love her though
The way she looks at my son did
Her laugh and the hum of her breath helped
His giggle and hands showed me truth
Taught me things I didn't know I needed to learn
Lest I not forget the wonderful dead
Who showed me what I had
What I've earned
And what I still have to strive for
Yeah, I guess it's been eight years
I suppose I will continue to write
Continuing at the age of twenty-eight.
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

Lumberjack
Vinnie Brown Mar 2019
I was driving home
And saw a sole tree
Alone in a field
Apathetic learnings
So, deserving of all of this love
Ever disconnected to all of your lives
Is there even a single kindness
That we can plunge into the soil
Or shall we just fall on our axes
Lost behind fading lights
When hands begin to tremble
With heavy eyelids
And oncoming traffic

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
199 · Jul 2017
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
198 · May 2017
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

Backroads
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
Let’s find ourselves lost on backroads
Star searching for lost love
Interlocked fingers upon shooting stars
Kisses remembered for years passed
Let’s just forget tonight
That I am me
And
You are you
Let’s just do what lovers do

Hereditary
Vinnie Brown Mar 2022
Well you know what they say
It’s a stitch in your DNA
Must run in the family
It’s just hereditary
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
I wish to break the mold
A bend, a snap, a break in the fold
Raise my children to be better than me
Let them know there’s no limit to what they can be
Show them that there’s more than one doorway
That these things aren’t just hereditary
The seeds from the apple can float away
The older I get, the more I wish to do better.
For my wife and children, I love you.

Technicolor
Vinnie Brown Apr 2017
The darkest corners of my mind are tight
I mean, out of sight out of mind, right?
It's getting hard to know if this is worth a fight
As when the sun shines it's just not that bright
I think I might be in love, my heart feels a flight
Bursting with wonderous color and it seems to be killing off my mind blight
A woman, who I can love even if I lost my sight

We'll break the mold and the scheme will fail
Endless midnight car rides and street lamp sunrises
Beautiful rays matching our body glows
As your heart creases and mine unfolds
Lost in each other's technicolor beats
Oh, my dear, if you only knew I have a love for you that even a blind man could see

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
192 · May 2017
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.

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
191 · Mar 2019
Gentle Hands
Vinnie Brown Mar 2019
I’ve made my mistakes
There’s so much love that I’m blind too
And I laid them to rest right beside you
Never thought I’d lose my way
Looking for the right way
Where heavy hearts can’t decide
If they’ve had enough
I suppose we just got carried away
It’s almost prophetic like you said
“We’ll just learn from our mistakes.”
And I’ve seen miracle love
She’s a dark haired blue eyed angel
Performing love work with gentle hands

Children’s Books
Vinnie Brown May 2019
When I was a child
I use to hide away at the library
Surrounded by a plethora of words
I stumbled upon a little black book
With a red leather spine
It told me that monsters didn’t exist
And what will keep me awake at night
Are the things inside my head
Tempered words designed to melt hearts
I know it’s difficult, but crucial
Too be grateful not to miss
The anxiety and emptiness
That we all feel
And someday far away
On an ocean breeze
I’ll accept the love that I’ve always had

Low
Vinnie Brown Aug 2019
Low
Western coast overcast
With the waves lapping at my toes
Truth is I think of writing all the time
Yet, I’m unable to fill blank pages
With salt filled air and words alike
For this over-freeze is affecting me
And I am just not feeling the wind
In the sway and flow of the trees
And my brain is diseased
And I’m feeling low
Oh, I’m feeling low
