His Eyes

This was half a prompt in a way by Lois.... wanting me to expound on something I had written on the men topic.  I wrote the following maybe two years or so ago... when my life started to change, I started to change and maybe that's enough said for now.


He watches her
the child
playing in the hose
eyes fixed on her wanting
to be with her there
playing

His eyes close as the hose rises
to her head
as it tilts back into the sun
golden shimmers sparkle
in his eyes
he sees what he sees
that in his mind
the child
playing in the hose

The beads run down her back
he looks
closer
wanting to be that water
the bead
that slowly runs along the curve
staring
He moves toward her
the child

She smiles
as she moves
within the water
laughing
she remembers
how it feels on her skin
the trickle

He moves close to her
to reach
to touch
wanting what he sees
that golden sparkle
Her eyes fixed on him
say
come
come to me
come play with me
the child
