He moistens his lips

Raises his brow

Masters the art

Of seducing the page

Sheds a tear for longing

Wipes his eyes with shame

Gently rubs his temples

Sacred ink stained pain

She reads the lines

A wry smile paints her face

She opens her heart

But loses her place

Heart beating faster

Blue eyes gleaming bright

She's checking the clock

She'll see him tonite

Beautiful Amanda. You have the gift!

Amanda- Sounds like a poet feeling unworthy of his muse or perhaps having lost his muse. At any rate, your muse is well intact. Words have a beautiful flow and angst.
