5th of November

Summary:

A poem inspired by 15x18: Despair. Dean PoV.

Notes:

For my non England based Supernatural fans, the 5th of November coincides with another event/holiday that is political in Nature.

Over here we celebrate ‘Bonfire Night’ which is a yearly holiday to Celebrate Guy Fawkes who tried to blow up parliament in 1605.

There is a well known poem/nursery rythme titled ‘5th of November’ for this day so I decided to adapt it for Destiel Day.

I hope you like it <3

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

Confessions, love and loss.

I see no survival

Why must my angel

Die on the cross.

Castiel, Castiel, happiness was the price

To offer up your life as the sacrifice

Twelve years of longing and want

Won’t undo this fatal covenant.

The time was nigh, you summoned it here

A final goodbye was my deepest fear.

My friend, my friend, if only you knew

My friend, my friend

I loved you too.

Notes:

Thank you for reading my novel attempt at poetry!

I thought I’d post the original poem here for anyone who was interested or not familiar with it:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King!

Happy (or unhappy) Destiel day! Good luck to any American fandom friends, I hope the election goes well for you! Sending love your way. X
