Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

LISBURN

LEAVING...............................

UNTHINKING, I LEFT
OBLIVIOUS TO THE FACT
THERE COULD BE NO RETURN

TIME AND DISTANCE
KEPT US APART
I CHANGED,
YOU REMAINED THE SAME
SAFE IN YOUR COCOON
WHILE I STRUGGLED AND BROKE FREE

LIKE THE TIDE, I CAME BACK
CARRYING THE DRIFTWOOD OF MEMORY
BUT THE RIBBON THAT BINDS
HAD SLIPPED THROUGH OUR HANDS

IN ONE HEART-STOPPING MOMENT
I REALISED...WE WERE STRANGERS.
