Aegis

Summary:

Aziraphale is Supreme Archangel and still longs for Crowley

Notes:

Written for week 5 of Pool Noodle GOetry Monday.

I made a list of all the words (and their number of occurrences) I've used in my previous three poems and then tried to make a new one using only those, not changing anything. If I'm not mistaken (the list got a bit confusing, once I started scratching things off) I actually succeeded. Did I phrase everything in the exact way I would have without this limitation? No. Am I happy with the outcome? Yes! This turned out a lot better than I thought it would - and it didn't even get horny. 😄

Work Text:

“Crowley,” I murmur, seeing night all around,
no vast serene sea, endlessly bright, in dream.
Your hair slides over my neck,
lazy laugh sparkles, floating in the breeze
Your grace, goodness - sweet, real, resonant
Needed, wanted memory, both tended and evanescent
Like sympathy, mercy.
Salty water melts through lashes.
The point made, blissful, blistering: always us.
Worship touched to tongue,
it twines, lilting and knowing.
Squirm to say “Crowley”, fill the air with him.
“Crowley,” I whisper; lying, vibrant revery.
