Under the windows
Over the sidewalks
Her high heels were crashing
the measures of time.
Wanderer, can I share eternity?

I like this piece (especially "her high heels crashing the measures of time"!) which only needs a little tweak or two - I'd suggest you unify the lines' first letters and keep them lower key except for the first and last. Also, if you switched to the present tense IMO it would read better. There is something about the last L that asks for more drama. I'd rethink the ending.
It was a pleasure to read your poem, thank you. And please, take or toss my remarks, after all it's only my subjective feedback.
Best of all to you, Bar

Bar22do,
Thank you for reading and sharing. I agree with all remarks. Espacially about the ending. Since I'm wandering too, it will have to wait to be found. Greetings.

Marriage proposal?
I like the brevity and pithiness of this piece. Less is more.

Like another poster I very much like the whole high heels crashing thing, and sharing eternity is awfully good, specially with a fellow wanderer. Nice.

The beauty of this poem lies in its brevity. I like the last line best. :)
