City canyons: Regent Street, London, with construction cranes altering the skyline.
In city canyons
I wander and wonder... do
we see the same stars?
Does the night find you
awake, memories burning?
Do dreams remember?
Or does sleep erase
destiny, interrupted;
its traces fading?
I hold the map close
and escape in the moonlight;
shadows unravel.
The view obscured, but
familiar territory:
this heart's journey home.
An ancient story
written long before we knew
which path to travel.
Worlds apart, we crossed
oceans for our moment in
time, sealing love's fate.
Lovely streak of haiku gems. Complimenti!

when the city cranes have long gone
i'll look at now filled sky
with the buildings they left
and wonder
at which part of the city
they are building new dreams

My comment was eaten!~ Yikes.
Tara,
Those fates have been sealed and this poetry is proof. Well done.
xoxo
Beautiful words!

Oh it's sealed alright. You don't get a poem like that unless those fates had definitely been sealed!
I believe in love, hold on to it Tara, it'll come back to you.
xoxo
Beautiful words!

We may, or may not, see the same stars. But we feel the same words reverberating through our powerful souls. You rock my dear!

Wow; such lovely writing! Thank you for sharing; it touched me today of all days. I think of my lost love just a few years ago now it's been; it all did rather seem planned in retrospect. And that brief, shining moment in time, will linger with me always. Thank you again.

When I was in London what I noticed were the cranes. I see they are still constructing their city canyons.
