What is our elixir of love? Well, it is just plain brewed coffee but maybe I call it so because as I drink in its aroma before taking an actual sip, all those twinkling little stars in the purple-black sky appear to be meticulously placed romantic, burning.
If you sneak to the roof of our home, somewhere towards the corner you will come across a wooden bench. There is nothing extraordinary about it except for the fact that it is extremely old. So old that it screams in protest every time we sit on it. But it means a lot to us all the same for this is where we sip our elixir of love each night and fall for each other a little more. What is our elixir of love? Well, it is just plain brewed coffee but maybe I call it so because as I drink in its aroma before taking an actual sip, all those twinkling little stars in the purple-black sky appear to be meticulously placed romantic, burning candles—just the wrong shade; or maybe because as I drink it, I yearn to touch his lovely black curls even more. But then he calls me his Silly Darling Angel whenever I list these reasons so maybe I do it for I love being called so.
“Jimmy, put me down!” I protest with a giggle as he carries me down the stairs. He manages to carry the empty coffee mugs too making it even more urgent for me to ask him to put me down. “I’m a strong man you know,” he replies faking a hurt face. I laugh and repeat, “Of course. A strong man.” “Why. You doubt it, girl?” he mimics a villain’s angry voice and drawls, “Maybee then I’ll just let go of you and take pleeeasure in watching you tumble down the stairs slooowly and hit the wall as your faaace turns riiich crimson with warm blooood…” I fake a disgusted face and snap, “Mr Villain, stop being so morbid!” and at this both of us laugh….
Hello! This is Alex Destiny. Jimmy is my husband and I am his oasis in the desert. But I guess you already know how much in love we are so I’ll just skip that part. (Laugh) Other things that you should know about me: I have been happily married for two years now. I majored in Human Psychology and know my job pretty well but then I am a homebody through and through. So you will find me-At home. And…I have a knack for attracting nightmares... They come to me in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they haunt me for days but I live through it. After all, I have Jimmy! (Smile)
I.
The ache in the upper midsection of my body is so profound; each atom there must be sizzling in some very concentrated acid. To breathe love, eat love and talk love is to live in the realm of fantasy and this right now is my reality check.
