Let blackthorn pierce, let clouds reveal the yonder hills of high Lisneal  Och away, come on away, for timeless hills and ancient lanes abide when nothing else will stay: here's fields and farms and slanting rains; here's wine-like air to drink and heal from yonder hills of high Lisneal. Ardlough, Fincairn, old Kilfennan, the sun-lit river's bright forever: did we but know we breathed a heaven before the knives of time would sever. If only here when years conceal the yonder hills of high Lisneal.   ... more u668857 The Personal Space of U668857 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:01:09 GMT /section-449-the-personal-space-of-u668857#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/12151 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/12151 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A12151 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-12141-a-love https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-12141-a-love English Sonnet sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun: 2006 Poems Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:07:47 GMT /section-777-sinnaminsun-2006-poems#comments 5 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/12141 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/12141 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A12141 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-12153-acceptance https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-12153-acceptance Love no longer holds its edge, With sledge hammers crushing blow, Dulls the blade of this mans heart, And me, forever on my own.   Realizing that our love is gone, Replaced by hate, I say ENOUGH!
