William J. (Skip) Henderson Jr. Poems

I’m looking for some to love live and die for
Someone I can trust to the very end
Someone who’ll be much more than a life long friend
Someone who will give as well as receive
...

It is said that God is love, And if time is relative
Then love is timeless,
Infinite in its beauty, Fulfilling with its contentment
And selfish in its focus.
...

The fondest of our memories
Are those experienced through emotion
Of endearing thoughts and incidents
Timeless as the ocean.
...

A universal language that has no words, no sound
Like the wind, can be felt but not seen
Has no taste to titillate the expectations of the senses
But with a tactile tingling lets the body know love is present
...

This may not be a bouquet of roses or a beautiful Hallmark Card.
No gift or actions can transcend their meaning or show their sincerity.
They are just a simple, sincere way to say what you mean to me!
In just three words that means more than all others….
...

Time... the only thing we really have
Material things are only temporary possessions.
Time is what you make of it;
We can give it, sell it, trade it or invest it.
...

Most vile emotion or attribute man can have is the foundation of evil.
Raises angst and anger and increases the profane within you
Makes you want to violate your own sense of right
And will drive you to do counterproductive irrational things.
...

Have I been here before or is it just my imagination
Seems so real, this feeling of the familiar but cannot be.
There is no rhyme or reason for this to occur
For it is not even related to what is going on.
...

Love is the most mystifying part of life, it defines who and why we are.
It befuddles, brings ecstasy to ones consciousness, satisfaction to the spirit
Transcends all else we are taught since our earliest years
Fills your being with a joy that cannot be matched by any other feeling.
...

Writing of my feelings and emotions is one thing I have found
That helps me understand what I am going through
At any given time or circumstance from flighty to profound.
