archie's thoughts

the old record
is it too old to play the song
the ashes of the cigar
is it too burnt to give me the feeling of smoke
and the smoke u see in the clouds
of the pirate ship that never sank aloud
amidst the seas, amidst the blue
is it still afloat?

the red pictures in the dirty album
and red enough to forge the men in them
dead or alive,
in the memories brightt..
or they too have become reddish to fade away
and archie thinks and thinks today

the roads that goes, they return
but they do not cary the people who went
the people who passed by
no matter how u try
and archie tried too..to hold back his father
and now he counts him amidst the evening star..
and no more words he can say
archie just thinks something today
