only you will do
Eddie Matikiti Mar 2016
A more wonderful queen I have not encountered
Beautiful collage of wisdom,grace and wonder
You are One in a million
You make my Dreams more beautiful than reality

You appeared like a kind, warm and needed summer rain
The brightest rose amongst the lilies
Feels like a Burgundy silk on my body
You are the taste of heaven

You bring me peace and delicious and edible thoughts
Honey and caramel fused with strawberries and cream
A beauty beyond compare
That's infected your being inside out

Only you my queen can quench my thirst
Only your love can fill me up
Only your beauty can calm my appetite
Only you will do

The Journey
Eddie Matikiti Sep 2016
Every journey begins with a step
The step is inspired by a thought
The thought by a vision
And the vision by a need

He saw her from a distance
She intrigued his attention
He had to reach out
But there was a wall
There were seas full of monsters between them

Undeterred he set out on the journey
He took the first step and said hello
She only whimpered her response in her mind
He kept moving towards her

Hundreds of days and moons later she whispered something back
It was a faint but all so heavenly whisper
He kept on moving towards her

Many perilous nights at sea
Fighting and docking emotional tides
He would almost ambush her in his dreams
But she would always escape
He kept hunting for her

The journey was long and hard
Battles were lost and won
Now she is only an arm length away
So near but yet so far
Will he ever hold her so close...

Muse me
Eddie Matikiti Nov 2015
Inspire me to love and I will love
Inspire me to triumph and I will do so
Spark an action
Spark a response

Be my muse, be my driver
Take me beyond what I know
Steer me to unknown destinations
Inspire me!

The Len Philosophy
Eddie Matikiti Nov 2016
Who knows what life is
Who knows if reality exists
It could be all be one big lie
A dream within a dream

Are feelings and emotions real
Do we feel sad and happy
Or we are programmed to believe we do
Are we not machines with no body and soul

Are we not players in an eternal maze
Merely victims of a mind game
Running about to no avail
What's important is not!

Who knows if there is life beyond the grave
What if we are programs
Every aspect of our being coded
What is real is not!

This strange place
Eddie Matikiti Feb 2017
Lately I get a strange feeling
This place doesn't feel good anymore
Everything seems awkward
All common senses are misplaced

I have been asking myself lately
Am I still happy here?
Do I belong still ?
Why do I feel like a man stuck inside a ladies bathroom ?

I cannot control my depression
Melancholy gets the better of me
All these strange people I do not know
Speaking this strange tongue to my face

I should be happy
I should be feeling good about life
I should disguise my sadness with smiles
I should drown my despair with hope

I am dying slowly in this place
Sorrow is siphoning my life away
Darkness and weeping harass me
All hope is dimming right before me

I must escape from this strange place
Sail into the sunset of my life
To a world I can call my own
Where joy grows on trees like leaves
And rainbows are part of every day

Forgive because of Love
Eddie Matikiti Oct 2017
We hurt each other
Because we love
Love is painful sometimes because of feelings

If we didn't have emotions
It wouldn't hurt
But we love each other
So it will hurt

It's a fine line between love and hurt
A flick switch that turns on/off
We could kiss or fight
We have the power

Forgive because you love
Fight for the love
Protect and nourish it
We do love each other
That's the important bit.

Truth
Eddie Matikiti Jun 2016
Define your truth
Evaluate your truth
Add to your truth
Live by it!

Truth is like a tragedy scene
As cold as a blizzard night
It is a hard medicine to swallow
It is painful to the giver and receiver

Befriend and endear it
Seek and embrace it
Let it sober you and guide your walk
Let truth lead
Eddie Matikiti Apr 2016
Our minds agree
Circumstances do not
We have a good time
But the timing is off

We met in the wrong season
But the feelings just right
The heavens for us
Hell fighting us

A part of us loves
Yet the other is at war
One leg wants to walk away
And the other wants to stay

A war zone within the mind
A paradise in the heart
It feels right now and wrong a moment later
What will become of this fragile love?
What will become of this fragile love?

Love was
Eddie Matikiti Jul 2017
Is there a future for us
Or is this just a futile mess
Shall we see tomorrow
Will our love survive the bitter night

You are so close, yet so far
So near, yet so distant
A love doomed by nature perhaps
Ruined by time and disbelief

The thin line divides us
Far from love towards destruction and hate
Blinding us to see the simple fact
That what joins us is greater than what seeks to dim our flame

There was a day we seemed so perfect
We were destined for eternity
Now we walk on eggshells
Doubtful of our fate
Fearful of what the day shall bring

Change is upon us
Half a heart no longer believes
The other is found wanting
Maybe love has dried up
All hope extinguished by doubts

The enemy who defeated was the mind
It reasoned love out of our story
Made it out to be about flesh and lies
Ignoring the simple and sure truth
That love was, and could have been.

Now Love!
Eddie Matikiti May 2017
Fly away and find a perfect love. Fly far and wide. Up and down until you find him. Open wide your eyes. Consider every opportunity. But alas do it quickly for that love must be found now. Find it today. Find it tomorrow and not any day further!

What is love?
Eddie Matikiti Jan 2018
Love is friendship on steroids. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving.

It is loyalty through good and bad times. It is also common interest, compromise and coorporation.

It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. Love is the greater force that binds disparate hearts.

Enduring love
Eddie Matikiti Feb 2017
After all this time
I still think you're amazing
You still light up my fire
You don't cease to thrill

After all these months
You keep getting hotter
Your heart is still as pure as gold
You still touch my heart

After all these weeks
I still miss you
I wonder about you
Can't wait to see you again

After all these days
You're still a miracle to me
I thank God for you
I see my future aligned to yours

Flower
Eddie Matikiti Apr 2016
You're a flower
Blossom and flourish
Shine in your magnificence
Reign in your prime

But remember life is only a moment
Nothing lasts incessantly
Beauty is temporary
All soon fades

The dark of night...
Eddie Matikiti Aug 2016
I hate my nights
They have become so long
They feel so cold and dark
They seem like endless hard seasons

I sleep for ages
I'm trapped in these uncontrollable trances
The tedious journey from night to day
I wake feeling weary and drained

I cannot find solace in my dreams
They are corrupted with fear and gloom
I hate time and wish it paces faster
To take me to a more hopeful day

I yearn to escape my dour nights
They depress the happiness in me
Nighttime seeks to completely devour me
And release the dark ages of my soul

I want to defy the night
Fight it with good dreams and hope and light
Defeat it using joy and optimism
Surely a night as bright as day will come!
Nighttime

The insanity of hunger
Eddie Matikiti Dec 2016
A growl here another there
The whole system in anguish
Oh the noise, unbearable noise
Supplies are running low!
Feed us! Feed us!

The message is sent to the mind
The stomach feels abnormal
And the rest of the body awkward
Energy is rationed
Muscles start to weaken
The laughter and smiles cease

Hunger kills good nature
Hunger turns into annoyance
Annoyance into anger
Anger into a cry of relief
The cry brings food
Food brings calm
Calm brings sanity

The rush
Eddie Matikiti Nov 2016
A sudden tingle in the belly
A storm is slowly brewing
Pain and suffering follows
The rustling of a thousand cattle

The embarrassing walk to the pit
That shameful squat to eject
Out of sight from the world
A private war between man and waste

Rumbling and shaking from within
A belly possessed by a beast
The beast must be exorcised
The pain gets intense

Then it starts to come out
Slowly and hard at first
The uncontrollable rush begins
The beast is slowly released

Then silence follows
All seems well again
That hurtful feast is dumped
Away it goes down the drain

— The End —
