There’s a clock inside my head,
Ticking, slicing,
The cogs keep turning,
The metal never stops
I talk to you, a white divide,
Your lower lip is open,
My voice clamped shut,
Rigid, a metal brace
I see blue,
Dreams of you,
Your perfection astounds me,
I clench my jaw and scream.
My eye is blue, black, iris,
My legs black in motion,
My lashes mascara thick,
I cannot blink.
The pathway of my life,
Is a cobweb’s mesh,
Fine, illusive,
A Gossamer dream
Those Dandelion seed heads,
Stand atop metal, blue sky stalks,
My time piece floods,
A blue black rust.
My hour glass is nearly empty,
It slips and slides,
Filling up,
Last threads of life affirming energy.

Hi.
Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.
