Constructs of the mind (no builder accredited)

The night glistens off a lake's water
As the ground sweats nocturnal creatures,
But no one hears dreams falter
As the paradoxal equinox becomes the feature.

Can you see the insects glisten?
How do chills feel during a heat wave in the summer?
You can whisper to those who listen (quiet crickets)
But it will never ease the searching, single hunger.

Go ahead and stare into your bedroom lights
And try to block my face from the walls painted with my name,
But the ceiling only stares back into your eyes;
So soak the walls with rubbing alcohol and set it those letters aflame.

Warm yourself in that oven;
Enjoy that burning...burning desire for my lips.
The reflections have not been proven,
Feel free to breathe deeply into this. (the ending game)

A scent as faint as love
Shimmers across your nostril's with a flare,
But this rose-colored glove
Could be the start of a deep, subtle despair.

You can envision my eyes in another's blues
Glaring, ever-daring across the room of chances;
Did you ever think once that you would lose
Or was it a copy of great 21st century romances?

Wake up from your golden nightmare...

now im alone, but not lonely like before

Another great write.  Thank you so much for sharing, and yes, imagery is definitely your thing.  Beautiful imagery in this piece.

A life without loveā€¦is no life at all.
