Sea Legs

the man with folded legs
and soggy shoes just below the shoreline
sits on my love
the wind tells the trees to breathe
as the man with the folded legs
reminds me of what one can do with so many tears
I can make an ocean for you
for the sea's make fond memories
and waves scream louder then my voice carries your name
the man with the folded legs sits on my love
plush and ripe
and buries it in sand
heavy toes write a eulogy on my burial site
as his folded legs walk in lies
where to the sea he falls

of little things here.

I would rewrite the line [for the sea's make] fond memories

I would say: for the [sea makes] fond memories

[the waves] scream louder [than] my voice [carrying] your name

[sodden feet] write a eulogy on my burial site

[to the sea where he falls].

Of course, your work is yours and anything that you feel will change the meaning
should be ignored or rewritten to your own ideal. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

The imagery is good. I especially like the last three lines.
