Golden Dome

by Faithless   Mar 30, 2009


Land of the golden dome
Decorated in crimson hue
Artworks made up of flesh and bones
Patterns resembling love ones you knew

Looking up to the chalky sky
Clouds filled with raining missiles
Showering down before the innocent's eyes
Rendering thousands to live in exile

Capsules that soar in sparkles
Enthralls children with their flying abilities
Mistaking them for wingless glowing angels
Not knowing in seconds, there will be casualties

As they kissed the ground, planting mushrooms
The earth is left sunken, engraving myriad cracks
Tidal waves of bodies coalesce in mass volumes
As cross and crescent domes were coated in black

Kingdom of prophecy, commandments and trinity
Faiths flourish throughout the century
Revelations seem to provide no remedy
Oh God, when will I ever see tranquility?

    "Land of the golden dome

    ^^What a beautiful opening..so much melancholy yet nevertheless so elegantly written.

    "Looking up to the chalky sky
    Clouds filled with raining missiles
    Showering down before the innocent's eyes
    Rendering thousands to live in exile"

    ^^I don't think you need "the" in the third line, it seems to flow better without for me.

    "Capsules that soar in sparkles
    Enthralls children with their flying abilities
    Mistaking them for wingless glowing angels
    Not knowing in seconds, there will be casualties"

    ^^One of the strongest stanzas in the poem, the emotion and depth and meaning here is incredible, wonderfully penned.

    "As they kissed the ground, planting mushrooms
    The earth is left sunken, engraving myriad cracks
    Tidal waves of bodies coalesce in mass volumes
    As cross and crescent domes were coated in black"

    ^^I'm finding this piece to become stronger and stronger throughout, I don't want it to end.

    "Kingdom of prophecy, commandments and trinity
    Faiths flourish throughout the century
    Revelations seem to provide no remedy
    Oh God, when will I ever see tranquility? "

    ^^...I don't even know what to say here, except that I'm literally blown away..this is a beautiful, moving and thought provoking write.

    The imagery you create throughout this piece is stunning..creates such striking visuals in the reader's mind, while the content and wording are just as beautifully written..

    Fantastic write.
