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

Most Women
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
I remember the first time I met her
It was like that first breath of air
I’m the middle of a stark winter
Where the security of your lungs is stolen
Quickened glances from strangers
Maddeningly caught in a room together
There wasn’t anything too special honestly
She was as powerful and savage
As most women are
For she didn’t even notice me
As her mind is always on the pursuit
Of happiness and self love

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

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

Los Angeles

Your sinful instigations are problematic
When I just want to lose myself
In the city of lost angels

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
115 · Nov 2017
In The Deep
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
You don't have to run away with me
I could never ask you to change a thing
Just want to catch one last wave with you
Before the tide drags us out to the deep
So, do you wanna go for a ride with me?
We'll change everything
Show em' we'll make some waves
Cause' I feel like drowning in you far out in the deep

The Restless Sea
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
And so, time will call again
The worlds just really heavy
Second guessing, falling under
The pull of the restless sea
Unable to stay, even being afloat
Sitting alone in the long night
The only company seems to be the firelight
For soon enough
Years from now
All the current perils
Will be glorified tales
In the eye gleams
For children to dance
114 · Nov 2017
Ghost
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
I think I have a ghost that follows me
They’re a shape shifting trickster devil
Playing tricks on me
Cause’ I see you everywhere I go
Hear my name called
Lost in the seas of people
Echoing with sweet delicacies
I thought I found a lover at twenty three
Almost was the death of me
For I tripped and fell
Found myself in the depths of hell
Can’t remember where we’ve been
Traveled on the wind
I met your ghost
It whispered in sweet delicacies
Lathered in sins
Let you go
Just seems the words
Got stuck in my throat
114 · Aug 2017
Bridges
Vinnie Brown Aug 2017
Builders you all are
Architects and master craftsmen
Built in black and white
Given small amounts of colors to shine
Bridges built on words
Joining a community together from around the world
All in a common goal
Express thyself
Spill the thoughts of your soul
For the next to progress farther on
And so on and so
To you poets, I beg of you
Be raw, be vulnerable
It shall make this glorious golden gate
Unbreakable
Let's get to building.

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

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.

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
113 · Sep 2020
Adrift
Vinnie Brown Sep 2020
I guess I use to be afraid
Terrified I'd be what I dreaded
I'd be inadequate and forgetful
It's not that I want to die
Just maybe not waking up doesn't sound so bad
Better than driving myself into what I fear
Lest my son, becomes just like me
As, I become my father
You, my love a lone star in my cloudy nights
I hope it's not too late for me
I don't want to leave
But, I don't feel you want me to stay
I'm not sure what's wrong with me
And tonight the moon doesn't shine for me
While tomorrow the sun might not shine for me
Maybe, just maybe
The ocean will sing and dance with me
113 · Sep 2017
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

Fairytale
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
Let’s go get lost, what do ya say?
Anywhere is better than here
Narnia isn’t too far
Hogwarts is just over the bridge
The Hundred Acre Woods is close
How about Westeros?
Maybe, your feelin’ Halloweentown?
Neverland is just a short walk
To be honest, we could stay right here
In this moment
Make our own fairytale
If you’re up for it...

Better
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
There is no plan for my life
That I can seem to follow
So, I don’t have time for all of these games
And, I do not plan on staying the same
Cause’ I’m gonna be better
Things will get better
Better when you see me next

Ponytail
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
She was vibrant with a dash of darkness
Cascading into the summer sunset
She caught me staring a few times
Watching her bare back
Watching the sinew of the muscle fibers
As she hugged herself tight
She cared more of how I felt though
Asking how my night was going
Tired and sore my dear
“Anything I can do to make it better?”
She said with a devilish tone
In a second she transformed into something more
Removing the wristband
Pulling her hair into a ponytail
Grinning with delight
I never stood a chance
112 · May 2018
Alone
Vinnie Brown May 2018
I could tell you loved the way
I looked at you
If only the people would disappear
And I could make you feel like you use to
When we were alone
I’d write heavenly and hellish love stories
Only for you
When we use to breathe in
The ocean salt misted waves
I’ve been looking for more time
Hoping to turn back time
Just to show the devil
How we lived was right
Oh, when we were alone

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
111 · Oct 2017
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
111 · Sep 2018
Comparisons
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
I have seen, heard, and tasted
Many things in life
None of them quite compare to you

Blood Moon
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
She told me blood moons
Meant destruction
How funny as we seemed so inclined
I quit strumming
Just to comment on your legs
How they’d looked so good
But would look better over my shoulders
Eyes a flutter
Bitten lips
Back locked up
Frozen in time
With the moonlight
Razing our shadows
Just for the night
110 · Aug 2017
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
110 · Oct 2018
Dazed and Confused
Vinnie Brown Oct 2018
Start to hyperventilate
No, I’m not seein’ straight
Knees begin to wobble
Cut my brakes, and lock the throttle
I couldn’t stop it if I wanted
Shadowy silhouettes
Make break into sweats
I’ve been dazed and confused
Since the day I met you
I’ve maybe lost my head
Yet, I’d do it all again
Perhaps I’m losing my my mind
There’s just something about you
That’s left me dazed and confused
Something about your eyes
Under certain influence
Unable to walk in straight lines
Build me up and leave me here in ruins
Either I’ve seen the light
Or I’m losing my mind
Just dazed and confused
About a girl or my come and go depression? I don’t know, you tell me.
110 · Sep 2018
Attached
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
I suppose I just didn’t hear you
The waves were too loud
But, I definitely could read your lips

“Don’t get attached to me.”

But, the sun was setting low.

Misconceptions
Vinnie Brown Jun 2018
Note if I die
It’s just a letter
Definitely have mixed feelings about it
Knowing I’ll forever be attached to you
Part of me feels bad for you
Hey, maybe I’ll be in God’s place
Hopefully behavin’ myself
The misconception is
I’ve only ever felt like the world’s better off without me
And I admit you make it a priority
To show me
The world won’t be the same without me
I guess I wonder if my soul will be missin?
I’m sure tomorrow we’ll do it different
109 · Aug 2017
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
109 · Sep 2018
Buzzin’
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
I just got back and had my beats on
Jogging up the stairs
So, steep for an apartment complex
You were coming down
Crossing paths
Locking eyes
With the lyrics screaming in my ears

“I don’t want no temporary
Give me all or nothin
Imma keep it real with you
And give you all my lovin
Girl to tell the truth
It’s been a year and I’m still crushin
Girl let’s take a ride and keep it quiet
No discussin, we can take it slow
Nowhere to go no need to rush it
And if you need me I’ll be around to keep you buzzin”

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

Love Tendencies
Vinnie Brown Nov 2017
Your love like tendencies
Are no reassurance
For the damage is done
And when she learns
To never look bsck
You’ll truly know
Self hate

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

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
108 · Feb 2019
AMA
Vinnie Brown Feb 2019
AMA
My confessions seem to always lie at the bottom of the deep end
These intricate caverns of guilt doused memories
With no true reason
For I have never truly felt loved
Forgotten and cast aside
By those unaware, yet cast like a skipping stone
Smooth and polished and so misshapen
As if my father not loving me was my own doing
Or unable to believe my past loves could love me
For I believed I was different and different couldn't be loved
Yet, I learned by you
That some may love the sunrise, while other's may love the sunset
And night feels just as home as day
While one can be attached to land
As the other soaks in the waves
Yet, there's sand in between
That's where our love seems to meet
Somewhere in between
And of that, all of which it is
I wouldn't trade for the world
108 · Aug 2017
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

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
108 · Aug 2017
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
108 · Aug 2018
The Rockie’s
Vinnie Brown Aug 2018
The breath stealing peaks
Three friends and an existential crisis
Snow covered caps and march air
I thought the farther I ran
My problems just might not catch me
Till a voice whispered so, delicately
To the rest of my body
“What the **** are we?”
107 · Sep 2017
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
107 · Oct 2017
Float
Vinnie Brown Oct 2017
She has no idea, begging for help as I bleed her dry
She doesn't know the transfusion comes from my mind
Body and Soul giving her life, some trick for a trickster
Lately our communications been off
Both deemed unworthy in the eyes of lovers
The depths of hell calling our names
Let's breathe out and breathe in
Fill our forgotten lungs
With timeless seams of winter
You just couldn’t help drifting
Like the love the leaf craves the cracked cement
Asked me to let go, and my stress seem to let go
It’s a hard feeling knowing the truth will hurt and the regret will sting
So, we’ll just let it float
107 · Mar 2018
Back Then
Vinnie Brown Mar 2018
It use to be so **** different back then
We were kids and now
We’re suppose to be women and men
There’s so many things
We need to start to understand
That we’re not queens and kings
And we should prepare for the end
Like hitting one another’s phones up when we feel all alone
Hands up to the ceiling
Please mind our business
This is where we hide our feelings
You all know how it is
No expectations that’s just how we’re livin’
Understandin’ that not all of our crimes will be forgivin’
So, count your blessings  and never start to question
Anything that you can mention that’s what time it is
107 · Sep 2017
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
106 · 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
106 · Jul 2018
Sway
Vinnie Brown Jul 2018
And as we start to sway
Heartbreaks on its way
In times so dire
Why were we born to be such liars
For the oceans do get rough
And I’m not sure this ship will be enough
I’d rather drown or wrap a bag around my face
Seems like we’re born to annihilate
All of the love we seem to waste
106 · Oct 2017
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
106 · 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
106 · Sep 2017
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
106 · Sep 2018
Metaphorical Tattoo’s
Vinnie Brown Sep 2018
And whomever you may be
That read my words
Whether in a pretty love story
Or the salt licked sympathies
Scattered over hills of rolling sins
Where space and time collide
Within the great blue tides
And sunspotted eves
I hope that whatever it is you take away
Gets metaphorically tattoo’d
All over your skin
For you and I to know
Even if, but for just a fragile moment

Russian Roulette
Vinnie Brown Oct 2018
Chasing after you
Grasping at Hell
Was like playing Russian roulette
With a fully loaded gun
