Milky Way Dreamer Quotes

“Look up, greet sparks of fire with salted eyes,
For he’s a burning atmospheric sigh:
One blaze of liquid flame on midnight sky,
Soft orbital decay, and last goodbye.”
― Alan James Roll, Milky Way Dreamer

“Lament

For J

Among the small graves a soft shaft of sunlight gently rains
On a memory; etches, as a glittering finger,
Golden corn field hair, ignites eyes sweet as the seas blue plains,
Traces lips pink as Marys carnation tears and lingers
Then is gone. Oh ancient sun above how shall I tell
Of the hearts deep yearnings that the years can never quell?”
― Alan James Roll, Milky Way Dreamer

“Death of a Carpenter

And look: Beneath a crown of blood red thorns,
A light wanders through now phosphorous hair;
Whipped body bleeds stars nebula born,
Torn side reveals a cosmic fire laid bare:
A galaxy rises against the night,
A million pulsing suns, as one, shine bright.”
― Alan James Roll, Milky Way Dreamer
