"Aftertaste"

By cadymae

My effect is aftertaste.
Wispy thoughts of me linger,
Changing flavor the longer they cling.
Pale pastels of wistfulness, all lilac-y & faint.
Orange post-beach tones of spentness.
Long grey tendrils of memory: mist thoughts,
Close by, teasing, yet ungraspable.
Regard necessarily engenders respect.
It is too faint to be fake.

The energy draining heat, the damn sun burn and that sand you got to love it. After that now I want to go take a shower and go out to dinner, which is what I generally do after a long day on the beach.

ty for your kind words. And even 1 long afternoon at the beach, drinking rum, broiling in the florida sun and watching lovers bicker can leave you that drained.
