⋆* –♕; greek myth / modern aphrodite ▸ imagined in summer pastels ❜
sometimes she returns to the sea, even now. in the passenger side of lovers’ cars or gazing from the balconies of bright motels, she watches the beach grass sway and the waves roll to the shoreline in cycle. you’ll find her at the boardwalk waiting to be kissed at the the peak of the ferris wheel, or beneath canted umbrellas, tilting her shades down the bridge of her nose as someone just as lovely passes by. the world may change -- but she does not.
