Love from the heart Love cannot be forced or cajoled The use of skulduggery or trickery to win the heart Never results in returned love of the soul We abuse, we lose; But like the dew on the lawn That gathers at dawn Under a rising sun’s mischievous grin If we love from the heart,…

Once and only once
Once and only once – lyrics by Vic Damone Once and only once I’ll walk through this troubled world So if a good deed I may do Some tearful face bring laughter to I will be contented then For I’ll not walk this way again Once and only once I’ll live with my fellow man…
Who holds the heart of the moon
Who holds the heart of the moon Depth, deeper than ocean’s deep Love deeper still You were to me The heart of the glowing moon Light in my night to fill. A man awakens from sleep And squints from the glare For this love his heart may even weep When he is hardly aware. But…

All of nature subdued Like the skies that held back water Were suddenly rent in two As the downpour drenched the earth On a park bench with you Soaked to the bone but hearts content For where love is present All of nature’s wrath is subdued

Upon these waves true and tried Dance, oh sun, your slivers of gold upon this glassy sea That touch the heart, revive, and enlighten me Cast your colors at eventide Reds and violets across the ocean wide Waste not a moment on waves true and tried To bring me safely to shore And return me…
From rain come flowers
