Mmm, loved the first line!! Every line must be as powerful.

And I shall chain all angels to the ground,
verbs "such as" rend the moon and stars,
from their orbits overhead ... etc.
extinguish the stars, with but a finger.
And screaming heave-wards,
in challenge of the divine, the creator of all,
"Are you - stronger than me?"
You tormented her soul,
Stolen her essence,
With a thousand cuts, trials and tribulations,
So, place her problems upon my back,
That, I may bear her monsters,
For, I will tenderly care for them,
And cast them back into hell,
If you are not willing,
I am stronger,
In this world at least,
If not the next.
[I really enjoyed the essence of the poem]

And I shall chain all angels to the ground,
pull down the moon and every cloud
that proudly flies above my head,
and putting out the stars, with my little finger,
I shall shout towards the heavens
and to the creator of all, man or angel:
Are you stronger than me?
You've chewed her soul long enough,
you've stolen too much of her lovely flavour
much to much, dear god, with your trials
so please, I beg you, put her problems on my shoulders
bring her monsters in my way
for I will take good care of them
I will send them back to hell
if you're not willing to step in,
for I am stronger than you
in this world, as it seems.
