love
is an ocean
we
are stones
rocking
in its coldshoulder ebb
in its embracing flow
sinking
into the blueness
swirling grey
swallowed wanting
the erosion
to smooth this roughness
sweep away
our outer selves
hold us shellless
in its complex infinity
and to lower us slowly
into its depths

As discussed before, a great example of a plotless poem. I especially liked the idea of love eroding, sweeping away our outer selves, our shells. How this loosing our shells is not described as something violent or dangerous, but actually something wished for. Because I feel for true love it is essentially necessary to let each other get close, past this exterior self. I think as you describe it in the poem, humans are truly longing to finally be able to show their true selves. I also liked the song you linked, to me it fit perfectly with this contented, slowly sinking feeling of the poem.
