I struggled with this one and am just putting this out there. Something to work on.

by soft candlelight
opens his heart with passion,
pens with feathered quill

or

by dancing flame
unleashes his love for her,
with feathered quill

or

under dim light
opens his vulnerable heart,
pens with feathered quill

or

under candlelight
declares unfettered love
with feathered quill
