Heavenly (A Sonnet by Crowley for Aziraphale)

Summary:

My angel's joy is like the rising sun...

 

Literally a sonnet, featuring a lot of sky/celestial similes and metaphors, because Crowley is a sap.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

My angel's joy is like the rising sun:

Delight dawns o'er his face as his smile warms.

The star-shine in his eyes leaves me undone,

As blue as sky revealed by fleeting storms.

 

His voice is gentle as the summer air;

His hair glows like the moon in darkest night;

As many hearts are blessed by his fond care,

As there are touched by Heaven's distant light.

 

And though he's fit to dwell with stars above,

My angel kindly chose the Earth, and love. 

Notes:

This is the sort of sonnet that was being written by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Please speak up if you liked it, and feel free to ask questions if you have any!

(Also, if you get inspired to include Crowley writing poetry in one of your fics, please let me know!)
