The Powerangers

I remember the days
where the worries
were not blinded
they actually were not there

I remember the days
when I was young
where the troubles faded
and when I knew what a smile was

On a Sunday morning when I would
push my brother out of his bed
panting him to to come
watch with me

Both of us would run down the steps
We thought we were criminals
no shower
no teeth brushed

We would hop onto the leathery-heaven
and press power
then spring over to our stash
and bring out our sugary snacks

We would sit there, nibbling
our heads and cheeks right up against
one another's
smiling childishly and breathing heavily

And the power rangers would appear
to fight our battles
and protect our health
so we didn't have to

We would smile, and laugh
and scream, and love; always
together;
always

And I remember those days
when the powerangers would fight for us
so we didn't have to
and miss them

I face the world now without them,
the powerangers
because I have lost the ability to beleive
and I want it back

I want back the feeling
and the love
and the solidarity
and the leathery-heaven

Now my brother and I have lost the connection
I miss him
I miss those days
I miss the powerangers

Author notes

I know this is not the typical broken heart example. There is no girl/guy love, but trust me there is plenty of love in here. And the same feeling is in this poem too; like your hearts getting hung, in the gallows, ever so tightly, and it's about to burst. This broke my heart, and it hurt, it hurt a lot. It may not be what most people think of when they think of a broken heart, but it is almost, if not just as painful.

I know theres alot of kinds of heartbreak and we only ever really focus on the kind I did. I need to focus more on the others. Thanks for entering and making me see that I need to focus on more then this love.

    i love this poem. i totally can relate. i miss those days of innocence too when the only violence i knew was the powerrangers. fights were only about who took the beset colored marker. i miss that and i love your portrayal of it.
