"Confessions in Candlelight" by Rani
A lady’s heart is quick to ignite, From a glance to a flame, from a flame to delight. From delight to devotion, from devotion to vow, She will not be wed without love to endow.
She dreams of a man who cannot disguise, The truth that burns deep when he meets her eyes. A man undone, who at last must declare, The weight of his soul in a moment laid bare:
"You’ve bewitched me—body and mind. No refuge I seek, no escape can I find. Your gaze is a spell, your voice is a snare, And I am content to be captured there.
I crave your touch, the shiver it brings, The fire that awakens, the song that it sings. Your hand in mine, your breath on my skin, A world begins where our vows begin.
Let carpets be worn by the steps we take, Let promises bind us, let none ever break. No son, no brother, no title remains, All else is forgotten, all else unchains.
I am not a lord, nor heir, nor son— I am only yours. And when the world asks who I am, I will answer with one truth: I am the man undone by your touch."
