Now I Know Poem by Simon Gitonga

Now I know

I know why hearts of gold,
everyone salivate to mine
And I understand why hearts of ice,
Nobody wants to freeze in

I know the difference between the weak bonds of ice,
That melts in a pass of a frame,
But Nobody wants to warm,
To melt the ice stones in the heart cage,

..And the strong bonds of Gold,
That everyone strive to melt, to tears, Without a second thought,
Ready to pay the cost,

Like a lone Star, Hearts of ice are,
They shine bright but alone,
Their woes contained in their complex cages, That
No one can understand.

But for those made of gold, like rainbow of colours, can be integrated into layers, can be studied in portions, everyone can comprehend,
Now I know...
