My Breath Is Taken

My breath is taken. 
No choice,
Just taken. 
Ecstatic pain
Thrills through me,
And I know 
You are right for me. 
This glove fits so well;
WE fit so well. 
They laugh at our antics,
That gallery of stern critics. 
Foolishly juxtaposed!
Enemies of Bliss!
The last laugh
Is ours.

Allen, I was talking about your friend, who inspired the poem for Brittany Maynard (Never mind me, I am so glad, you wrote a new poem. As a matter of fact I was going to bug you in writing a new one.) Why actually replied to my comment. :) By the way, that contest is a nice choice. Have you read my take on it. Please do. It might be long, but it's very entertaining. I promise. LINDA

You know, Allen, I saw that you had not posted a poem since the ends of 2014, that is why I read your dedication to your friend from facebook. Call me the biggest snoop around here. LOL.. Anyways, here I am enjoying another free verse by you. Greatly penned, for we shall have the last laugh.. Deeply said. LINDA

Haha, you're on a roll. It's funny that all it took was a comment from you, and within minutes, i'd entered a competition. I truly thank you for your encouragement ??

Thank you so much Anoucheka :) Yes, after 15 years in the wilderness, I have met the woman I was always meant to be with :) Been two years since I've written... But it only takes a spark to ignite the desire :)

Thank you Jason :) I have been away from here for some time. I'm very glad to have come back with a happier outlook. Will get to yours, but right now, I'm doing a little editing. Take care :)
