Knocking On Heaven's Doors

I’m knocking 
on heaven’s doors,
for I need
to complain
to the All Mighty.
No one cares
to answer me.
I’m left
to ponder
with my
drizzling 
drenching 
drips and drops
of tears.

I intensify
the pace 
of my knocking
but eerie silence
of quietness
greets me 
with a complimentary
bouquets of black roses.

Yelling
and vociferating
my anger 
in a pouring rain
of words
drenching 
and flooding
the world 
with layers 
and coating
of fresh pain.

I’m knocking

drips and drops
of tears.

greets me 
with a complimentary

Yelling
and vociferating
my anger 
in a pouring rain
of words
drenching 
and flooding
the world 
with layers 
and coating
of fresh pain.

Why 
did 
you take 
my father 
away? 
What 
pleasure
does it make
you feel
to see 
eyes cry?
What 
sick 
and 
twisted
pleasure
do 
you 
get!
from 
killing
the only thing 
I had
as 
a family?

Tell me!
Answer me!
Why won’t 
Anyone answer me?

He doesn’t belong 
to you 
so give him
back to me!!
Now!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
