Bio
I'm an amateur poet hailing from Johannesburg's West Rand. I have always had a deep appreciation and love for poetry and prose. I was fortunate in being published in a national magazine for Grade 12 learners in 1999. Life has always been my inspiration for writing. I can be reached at darain39@gmail.com
Ryno van der Merwe
Magic is incandescent milk
Would you hear this?
As immediately you think of full glasses or cereal bowls
Unaware that this becomes the experience of
Taking a thought outside of anything you might have seen
More simply like milk taken out
Till the moon becomes trapped in its velvet surface
Lights it up; haunts it
So that silver's not so much a colour as a feeling
That sometimes magic is like milk in the dark
You learn
All things hold light, even the darkness
Which could not be, without it
