Between us I drew
A line on the shore
But you are the sea
Your waves laughingly erased my efforts

Obliterating those boundaries
Destroying my resolve
Your smile, your eyes
Infiltrating the cracks of my shell.

Last line

Loved it up to the last line.

Maybe that's just me.

Great poem.

Missing something...

I don't know what. Beautiful sentiment, the emotions come through quite well, but it just needs...more. Kisses! ~Minx

An Old Metaphor. . .

But nicely done. The first stanza is very good, but the sudden intrusion of the unexpected "shell" in the final line of the poem weakens it for me. Perhaps another stanza is needed in the middle to set up what you are that has a metaphoric shell?

The Sea...

...smiles. And quotes the master, "And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips."
