Deepest darkest resolution
When will I find a solution?
To cure the darkness in my soul
Because loving you had taken its toll
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2017
Don't ever look back on the mistakes you made
You've already learned your lesson
Don't dwell on those people who you once loved
It will only bring sorrow and pain

But what if those people were stupid as hell
And never deserved your love?
You can laugh at them now
As they trip and fall
Into a pit of pure comedy

Their life is a sad joke
And they'll never get far
Just because the way that they are
They're hopeless

I like to laugh a little sometimes
At the lives of each of them
They stumble and fall ad don't know why
Those stupid people I used to trust

But now as I can laugh about it
I'm sure they can only regret it
Although it doesn't matter anymore
Because now I am free
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
Drowning in a sea of lies
And cutting off all the ties
He thinks he got the best of me
But I have changed and soon he'll see
That I am no longer weak and frail
My love is no longer up for sale
I'll save it for someone someday I trust
Someone who isn't consumed by lust
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
You know when you're sad you feel a little blue?
And when you're angry it's red and painful too

What happens when you mix the two?
Lilac skies and vibrant hues.

You can be sad and mad and hate yourself
But take those feelings off the shelf

Mix them together and you will find
A lovely color most pure and divine

The beautiful sadness that you now embrace
Washes the tears away without a trace
You can't smile unless you've cried
Solaris Lanayru Jan 2021
Lonely was I who didn't even try
To see the light right there in his eyes
Lonely was the girl who refused to see
Always pretending she was blind like he

Yet stumble, trip, and fall
Hands against the wall
I look up and see
Your beautiful eyes staring back at me
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2017
Can I borrow your eyes for a bit
To see the world as you do?
It's not fair that you're so happy
When your world is falling apart
How can you smile as  they all walk away?
Your family?
Your friends?
Your love?
How can you live like that?

With no emotion left to feel
The world turns a dark gray
I see it through your eyes
A monochrome world
With nothing left to feel
Yet you smile bright...
Is it because you know?
Is it because you know your time is up soon?
Either way whether you know it or not
This view of yours makes me want to cry
Solaris Lanayru Dec 2017
To the one who stole my heart and holds it close and dear
I miss you every day that passes every day so bright and clear
I was nothing but a wasted life until you came along
People passed me right on by as if I was a boring song
No one on this earth today could make me feel this high
You have a special touch that comforts when I cry
I love you more than anything because you are my life
Losing you would hurt more than being severed by a knife
Nights are cold without you here
I can not sleep because I fear
I'm scared of the day, the day that we die
At least I know your love wasn't a lie
Solaris Lanayru May 2017
Why can't I be the one
To live and love and learn
To live a life of happiness
Of love that will always burn
Why can't I be someone
Attractive in many ways
Why must I live alone
And suffer darker days
Why can't I love someone
Who loves me just the same
I know I'm not worthy
And it's really quite a shame
Why can't they accept me
For who I really am
Just a little hint of care
And the world wouldn't be so bland
Solaris Lanayru Mar 2018
A restless night with thoughts coursing through
Just old memories, nothing new
I lie awake and think again and again
How could I end up with a ten?
Or a twenty or thirty, the scale's been broken
I see you as my lucky token
Thoughts of you come rushing through
Always bringing something new
I love you more than you'll ever know
So please, my love, let us go
And step into a new world
One glowing bright
Together, side by side, well take on this fight
Solaris Lanayru Jun 2018
Oh mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the most worthless of them all?
I try and try and try again
But no way in Hell I'd ever be a ten
Why is it that in all my mess
You still want to see me in a dress
To walk with pride down the aisle
As if I'd ever pass this trial...

Your smile hurts me more than tears
I wish I can spend with you all my years
But life quickly pulls me away from you
If only you could see it too...

The distorted image that stares back at me
Grins with malice as it hears my plea
Just go away and don't come back
Please just let my world fade to black...
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
As sunshine slips its way past my curtains
The morning mist begins to clear
I wake up slowly and yawn a bit
I realize that there's nothing to fear

Today is a new day
One that shines bright
Today won't be the day
That I give up my fight
Solaris Lanayru May 2017
He's better off with a prettier girl
One who isn't me
I hope she takes good care of him
There's plenty of fish in the sea
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2017
Isn't it sad when you don't have a best friend?
Isn't it sad when you don't have friends?
Isn't it sad when your broke?
Isn't it sad when you tried?
Isn't it sad when you ultimately fail?
Isn't it sad when you have such a dream that you most likely won't achieve?
Isn't it sad when no one notices you anymore?
Isn't it sad when your family kicks you out?
Isn't it sad when you're almost homeless?
Isn't it sad that you have to write out what ***** the most in your life?
But one thing is certain...
Isn't it great when someone loves you and everything about you even when you don't?
Yeah...that feels nice.
Solaris Lanayru Aug 2017
On your deepest darkest days
Remember the tone of my voice
So gentle, kind, and loving
I am your only choice
For the world has granted you to me
and my love for you is strong
Don't ever leave and let me be
For I will tell you it is wrong
I met you by chance and loved what I got
You're the perfect fit for me
Because you're everything I love and unfaithful you are not
You're all I want to see
I love you even when I'm mad
Nothing stands in my way
I love you even when I'm sad
And I hope it always stays this way
For Dave <3
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2019
I close my eyes as I think of you
Your lips pressed gently to mine
Hold me tighter, I love you too
I hope you'll stay with me until the end of time
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I hope that together
Our love will shine through

When the days turn gray
And the nights turn cold
With you I will stay
And your hand I will endlessly hold
Solaris Lanayru May 2017
Your touch heals every broken bit
But I will never heal
For you have left without a word
And I am forced to kneel
And beg to the skies
For you to be mine
Once again I sit and cry
I can't imagine a world
Without you
I can only die inside
Nothing lasts forever
People come and go
Yet you were special
And I hope you know
That never again
Will I feel your touch
Your gentle arms around me
Never again will I hurt this much
For you have made me emotionless
The hurt that lasts from losing you
Will be the last emotion I feel
The only emotion to rage on and on
And never again will it stop
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2019
It's like a dream
Lying there on the ocean floor
The cool currents caressing my body
Open my mouth just a bit
To see the bubbles float away
Though my body feels heavy with the weight of worries
And yet somehow you dive in
You gracefully swim to the ocean floor
And as you take my hand
My worries are no more
Together we swim to the surface
Breaking through the waves
To see the light of a beautiful new day
Solaris Lanayru May 2019
Why am I always so sad?
Why am I filled with pain?
These are the things I ask
Answers I never gain
And why do I cry?
All the **** time?
It's draining and painful
Is sadness a crime?
To think that one time
I used to be happy
But now life is bleak
And I just feel ******
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2019
Close your eyes
Take a breath
I am all that you have left
Wrap your arms around my waist
You're all I want to taste
When the stars cease to shine
And moon dims its glow
I'll love you forever
This I hope you know
As the earth starts to crumble
And our world starts to fade
I hope you are happy with the paradise we've made
Our memories are strong
They are the ones that will live on
As we sing our final song
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2017
Do I really want to go?
Do I really want to stay?
It really is Hell for me either way.
I live alone and it's sad sometimes...
The darkness is scary even with the light.
But what other place can I afford to go?
I'm broke as dirt and I don't even know
Who will offer a place to stay
To someone who can only pay
A little here and a little there
If this can't be so then I don't know where.
Where will I go?
What will I do?
I really just want to spend time with you...
It's sad when you think $20 is a lot of money...
Solaris Lanayru Aug 2018
Falling gently, one by one,
The cherry blossoms fall
The night sky, chilled by frigid drifting snow,
Grows darker by the hour as the snow starts to glow
One petal here, some scatter there,
There's soft pink petals swirling everywhere.
If only those petals would last forever
It'd be a memory I couldn't sever
Thousands of cherry blossoms drifting away
Bringing light to those who wish to see another day
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
Alone sits a girl
Crying
Holding her knees
Her long hair covering her face
The sounds of her weeping
Drives you mad
For Halloween?
Solaris Lanayru May 2017
Ever wondered why they call it
A crush?
Ever wondered why it's so hard
To get them to notice you?
It's called a crush...
Because you never know
They could like you too
But you'd never know
It's scary to think about
The future with them
All the possibilities
Are just overwhelming
You could be friend zoned
Or forgotten or ditched
And if things go well for a while
You could be left broken hearted
I hate crushes
The agonizing pain
Of your love not being returned
Until you tell them
But when you tell them
You hold your breath
Scared of the outcome
And when all they say is
"I don't know how I feel"
It's not a definite no
But it's still disappointing
True story...
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
Swiftly sway and switch that beat
The dance of the dead is really neat
Come on down and have a drink
You'll be happy before you blink
Take my hand and twirl with me
This frightful moment one must see
This deadly night comes once a year
No need to worry there's nothing to fear
Getting tired? Drink again!
There's still moonlight left to spend
The moon shines bright throughout the night
This Halloween night is quite the sight
Solaris Lanayru Jun 2017
Staring out the open window
Feeling the breeze whip through my hair
Lightning strikes again and again
But the rain feels so pleasant
The wind howls through the trees
As I sit there on my knees
Begging the world to please
Please love one another
And stop the ridiculous waves of hate
I can sense dark times ahead if the world continues on its spiral downward. A world full of hate like this needs a change for the good of us all.
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2017
Every time I see you
My words melt away
Leaving only my smile
You know what I'd say

I'd tell you I love you
But that's not enough
The way I latch onto you
Shows we're quite tough

It's a bear hug of sorts
Hard to break free
But with all that love
You'll understand, see?
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2017
Something in the way you smile
Reflects the way you walked those miles
One thousand plus from there to here
I'm glad that you showed no fear

I love my life the way it is
All the pieces fit like his
The **** we've been through makes us stronger
I hope that I will be yours for longer

Longer than the sun is bright
I hope that we resolve each fight
And learn to love each other more
I will always treasure you to my core
He really did walk all the way from Maine to here. With a few rides and stops along the way. He's been through a lot and so have I....
Solaris Lanayru May 2017
Can I see you
Just one last time
Long enough
To tell you how I feel
...
Heh this is great
Here you are
Here I am
You think I'm going to say
"I love you"
Why should I say that
If every time I've said it before
All you did was ignore
Why should I love you?
...
Tell me...
You never cared did you?
You lured me in
Only to cast me aside
After you've had your fun
You're worth nothing to me
As I was worthless to you
...
All I have is hate and regret
Not a bit of any love left
I spent time...money...and now
I don't have any ***** to give anymore
Solaris Lanayru Dec 2018
Writing words upon a page
Letter by letter the ink will spread
Leaving a story to be told
And whether that story is good or not
It depends on the reader
So as my words flow from type to text
I wonder who will enjoy it
It matters not because I don't write for fame
I write to express my soul
So tap tap tap and typing away
I have lots of words to say
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
The gift I gave you
Meant so much to me
And when you left
You threw it away

Now there's nothing left to say
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
Money can't buy happiness
That's what we are told
Then why are our hearts filled with greed?
Greedy world leaders leads to war
And selfish partners lead to broken hearts
Why does the world revolve around money?

Money is the root of all that is evil
Once we get a taste we always want more
Nothing in life matters more than money
Everyone needs it
You can't change that fact
Solaris Lanayru Nov 2017
Long ago we let a story unfold
To tell the tale of those who struggle
The broken ones who dwell in darkness
A hero must rise to bring them to life
But who will take on the task?

Let it be you who dwells in the dark
To free your kind from the chains of depression
Let it be you who yearns for the light
To break free and return to life

Let it be you
Solaris Lanayru Nov 2017
Midnight moonlight makes its way
Into my room that's full of gloom
Please don't go I want you to stay
By my side as here we lay

On a night like this I'd love to see
The sun and moon happy like me
Because with you here
By my side
I fear nothing
Because I'll be your bride
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2017
Words are tricky
Use them wisely
I say hello
You say goodbye
When will our words
Reach the sky?
And intertwine
Like a graceful dance
Use your words now
It's your final chance
I say hello
You say it too
Now I know
You've gotten the clue
I say I love you
You say why's that?
I look to the sky
And let out a simple laugh
You're kind and smart
And gentle and strong
What do you think?
Am I actually wrong?
I turn to your eyes
So vibrant and blue
All I want now
Is to spend time with you
For Dave
Solaris Lanayru Sep 2017
I love the way you look at me
With that sparkle in your eyes
The way you love me they still can't see
How hard you really try
You're trying, I know
And I love you for you
I love you more than you will ever know
And I hope one day you'll feel it too
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2018
Save me from the horrors that live within my soul
For trying to keep them hidden has really taken a toll
Sometimes I lie awake at night
And I wonder when I'll lose this fight

But something someone has shared with me
Has really lightened the gravity
No longer do I wish to die
I think I'll give life another try
Solaris Lanayru May 2017
Windows left open wide
That can only see a dream
A dreamy world where all is fine
No sorrow or hate in sight
A world in which everyone
Is free to do as they wish
For only good can thrive here
In a world such as this
Solaris Lanayru May 2019
Lift your head high
Take a deep breath
Show them your skill
All of what's left
Energy flows
And brilliant sparks fly
Show them that you
Can now fly through the sky
Top speed ahead
Let the beat drop
Spin through the air
You're going to be on top
First on the board
Top of the list
You passed all the marks
That everyone missed
Now as you sigh
And energy slows
You drop your pen
Lean back as time slows
Imagine taking an exam and the relief once it's over
Solaris Lanayru Aug 2017
From dawn to dusk
The sun rises and falls
Just let the wind
Take care of it all
My love is pure
Like a shining lake
For you I'd do anything
It's a promise I'll make
So don't you worry
For this is simply a trial
To see if one day
I'd be walking down that aisle
Solaris Lanayru Feb 2020
One of these days, I want
To find a guy to take away my heart
Someone to spend every day with
Some guy to enjoy all my time with


One of these days, I will...
Get to know you better and still
Love you more with every passing day
At least that's part of what I wanna say

Every other day I'm wondering
Is this what love is really like?
I really can not wait for the day
When I can  forever call you mine

Every other day I'm wondering
Do you feel the same way too?
I know you're just as happy
'Cause I know that you love me too

I don't need anyone else
You're the only one for me
"Isn't that guy pretty hot too?"
You're the only one I see

I think that you're the perfect guy
To always be right at my side
I hope that I will do my best
To keep your heart in my best interest

Every other day I'm wondering
Is this what love is really like?
I really can not wait for the day
When I can  forever call you mine

Every other day I'm wondering
Do you feel the same way too?
I know you're just as happy
'Cause I know that you love me too

Just watch me walking down that aisle
Encouraged by your gentle smile
I feel a tear run down my cheek
Happiness at it's best this week

Holding your gentle hands in mine
How did life ever get this fine?
I'll always be by your side
If you promise to always stay by mine

Every other day I'm wondering
Is this what love is really like?
I really can not wait for the day
When I can  forever call you mine

Every other day I'm wondering
Do you feel the same way too?
I know you're just as happy
'Cause I know that you love me too

Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
'Cause I know that you love me too

Da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da
'Cause I know that you love me too

Through the mists I see
A hidden valley shrouded
In cold chilly air
A mystic place of beauty
A beautiful sight to see
My first Tanka poem
Solaris Lanayru Jun 2017
The darkness grips my shoulders
The silence claws at my skin
What am I to do with such a broken soul?
Broken not once but many times
By the people I thought would care
But in truth we are simply alone
No one feels like me
No one feels love the way I do
No one knows the darkness that suffocates me
And in turn I don't know you
Your smile is warm but you're breaking inside
You're trying to hide the scars on your soul
But even then those scars bleed through I can see
And your laughter feels hollow as well
Tell me, do you want to know...
Do you want to know what the light feels like?
Do want to dance in the sun?
Do you want to feel the smoothness
Of the sand between your toes?
Tell me, do you wish sometimes....
Do you wish that you could be happy?
Do you wish that you had friends?
Do you wish you had a lover
Who so easily could mend?
They could mend the gashes in your heart
The slashes left by those that you loved
They could heal you bit by bit
But only if you try
Only if you leave behind
The darkness that you love so much
Only if you leave behind
Those hopeless wants you clutch
So leave it all
Leave it all behind
And open your eyes
To a brand new day
Solaris Lanayru Oct 2017
When snow falls like angel dust
And the wind blows frigid air
A perfect winter scene tonight
Would you follow me please?

Come with me and let's go inside
Where there's a warm toasty fire
We'll sit and warm our hands a bit
Until you suddenly put yours in mine

You raise them to your lips and kiss
It feels nice and warm
I throw my arms around you then
And now I'll never let go
Solaris Lanayru Jan 2019
The sunlight reflects off a glassy world
Drip drop as water falls into the sun
Ripples flow and time freezes
The air is still and silent

A flash of light and a gentle breeze
The water pushes away
To reveal an earthy canvas
Engraved with the sun's reflection
Solaris Lanayru Jul 2018
When life throws you lemons
Make lemonade
But when life throws you rocks
It won't ruin your parade
Stand up tall and smile bright
A new idea is about to take flight
When life throws you lemons
You make lemonade
But when life throws you rocks
You make concrete
To make some steps up to the top
For all these rocks is what you've got
Solaris Lanayru Jun 2018
Have you ever wondered why
People's hearts are darker than the sky?
A little tale from long ago
Tells a story that isn't so
A story about peace and calm
Yet the world is more like a time bomb
Waiting waiting for the day
Where people won't know what to say
People people everywhere
None of them give a care
Not a care in the world from people all over
We'll need more than a four leaf clover
To bring this world back from the dead
The world is ****
That's what should be said
Don't be a ****

— The End —
