Heart of Hearts

I will always love you, but I am not God.
I will sometimes hurt you, because I am not God.

I’m in a frame of mind

You wouldn’t want to frame in your mind

See, in my mind

I love you and show you so

But in your mind my love for you has withered more

The space in time makes you no longer mine

This space in time takes my all, but that’s fine

Though far from me and all these thorns

If you stay one more day, you’ll see the roses born

Times like these have always been

The pain you bear, I’ve always seen

On days like those that I don’t seem to be your kin

Just know I bear my own sin

As the knives prod your delicate skin

May God be your life, your King

I will always love you, but I am not God

I will sometimes hurt you, because I am not God

But if someday, somehow, you see past the hurt

You will see a picture of you framed in the hall of love

Known as my heart of hearts.

My name is Jenim Dibie. I'm a poet and writer. I've written four poetry books so far - Scarcast, The Calligraphy of God, How To Dance In Time, and I just released my fourth book - Birdsongs. I started writing poetry at an early age, and it has been the sole passion of my existence. I’ve written over 500 poems since my childhood. I love writing, music, movies, reading, dancing, and The Office. I decided to start blogging to give the world a warm hug, just as words have embraced me all my life. I hope to one day live in a house by the sea, with 10 dogs, and write a 100 books. May you find color in my black.
