Impossible dreams

by JLR

Dreaming impossible dreams can hurt tender hearts.
Fantasy wakening delicate memories
deposited, deeply buried, hidden from view,
triggering anxious frostiness, fear of hurt.

Marauding nightmarish dreams hijack treasuries
safeguarded within the heart under lock and key
protected from the fact turbulent times do flow,
pain-filled times when wounds turn black and blue.

Peacefully slumbering, lady love. Absentee
lover boy charmingly tantalized her best friend,
embracing, nuzzling, puckering as she sleeps.
Nightmarish, distressing dreaminess. Afterglow

envisioned; bafflement stipulates, at the end
prescient thoughtfulness to slow down this love quest.
Safekeeping ultimate happiness forever
anxiously awaiting Galahad whom she keeps.

Prescient thoughtfulness to slow down this love quest.
Dreaming impossible dreams can hurt tender hearts.
Triggering anxiousness, frostiness, fear of hurt,
shortcoming ultimate happiness forever.

Using the Domino Rhyme ~ week of 7-7-2022 ~
Rhyme scheme ~ abcd befc eghf gijh iadj.

The Domino Rhyme is:
*stanzaic, written in any number of quatrains.
*metered, written in a loose tetrameter. Lines should be same length, however the irregular meter of the poem is intentional as it expands the pensive sequence of the narrative in the poem.
*rhymed. L2 and L3 of the first stanza rhyme with L1 and L4 of the next stanza and so on down until the last stanza when L2 and L3 rhyme with L1 and L4 of the first stanza.
