Skyline Dreams

Skyscrapers scratch the belly of the gray,

Concrete jungles where the lions don't play,

Hustle in my veins, dripping gold in the clay,

Midnight whispers echo where the shadows stay.

City lights flicker, pulse beats in my chest,

Chasing dreams faster, never taking a rest,

Horizon on fire, the skyline confessed,

The crown’s in my reach, and I’m feeling possessed.

Block’s alive, beats bang through the street,

Sneakers hit pavement, rhythm on repeat,

Fortunes told in the smoke of the heat,

A king’s throne built where the gutters meet.

Voices of the lost hum a ghostly tune,

Neon halos glow beneath the moon,

Every corner holds a secret cocoon,

Blooming dreams or nightmares, decide by noon.

City lights flicker, pulse beats in my chest,

Chasing dreams faster, never taking a rest,

Horizon on fire, the skyline confessed,

The crown’s in my reach, and I’m feeling possessed.

Golden chains can't bind a restless soul,

Heart's a furnace, smoldering coal,

Blueprints to the throne carved in my scroll,

Every verse spit, another piece of the whole.
