Beneath the Streetlights
Wheels hum on concrete’s steady flow,
Shadows chase where streetlights glow,
Silent streets, a world below.
Midnight breeze, a skater's flight,
Carving turns with pure delight,
Urban dreams beneath the night.
Flickering lamps, a fleeting sight,
City hum, the only guide,
Freedom found in every stride.
Curbside flips and midnight show,
Endless dance of ebb and flow,
Underneath the neon glow.

Concrete Dreams
Board slides on the city’s beat,
Grinding rails with silent heat,
Echoes rise from every street.
Concrete waves beneath my feet,
Carving lines, a daring feat,
Skater’s dance, a rhythm sweet.

Tricks that break the urban chains,
Freedom’s found where none remains.
Flips and spins, a world unknown,
Every trick a seed is sown,
City’s pulse is all I own.

Ollies Over Puddles
Raindrops dance on the city street,
Wheels splash through with every beat,
Puddles jump beneath my feet,
A playful challenge, none too sweet.
Skateboard soars, the puddles break,
Grind the rails with trails I make,
Laughter echoes in my wake,
Rain-soaked dreams I never shake.
Concrete glistens, nighttime's friend,
Tricks and turns that never end,
Streetlights guide where pathways bend,
Freedom flows with each descend.

Wheels of Freedom
Pavement hums beneath my feet,
Rolling past the city beat,
Every push, a rhythm sweet,
Breaking free from every street.
Curbs and cracks, I glide with ease,
Wind rushes by, it starts to tease,
No limits here, just endless seas,
Wheels that turn with every breeze.
Skating through the open air,
Freedom found without a care,
The city's pulse is always there,
But I move like I'm on air.
