His face was lost in the golden hues of the twilight, his prosternum
still drooping with fresh dew from a night out of Monkey Business.
Through the haze of the gloom, a sketch of his muzzle was visible. His
big red tongue pendulous between an array of razor-edged teeth. He was
standing on mound of lake sand left over from our concrete fence
construction works when Gorgeous opened the door and stared, awe struck.
Doubtless, love-struck. Gucci anxiously turned his head and seized
Gorgeous in a gaze that lasted a better part of half a minute. I was
watching from our bedroom window and I knew instinctively that they had
fallen in love.
My fiancée is mujer muy hermosa . A very beautiful
woman with the body of a goddess and the character of an angel. She is
truck-stop sexy and lord-have-mercy-wet. She’s got the most enchanting
gaze that back in 2005 when I first saw her at Freedom Square with Joy
Musimenta, she seized me and held me helter-skelter like a moth caught
in a spider’s web. Although the preceding weeks after that first
encounter didn’t seem particularly involving as I wasn’t able to bump
into her again at Campus, she stayed in my mind vivid and recurring like
a movie on repeat playback mode. Struggling for an escape, like the
moth’s panic movements would only lessen its chance of survival, I dated
many worthless chics with half a brain and a single butt-cheek double
the size of Enanga’s head. My deep indulgence in carnal pleasures only
exposed to me in its true depth how much I would never fill the
emptiness in my life with infinite lips, breasts and pussies…. Pitiable
women of all earthly hues submerged in their own unending feuds. Only
Gorgeous could fit perfectly and expel the empty darkness that my
yearning spirit was so wary about. Years later when the heavens opened
and our paths crossed again, I saw in her eyes what I saw again today
while she and Gucci stared. I saw love and I knew this love is what I
had asked God for back in 2012 when Roy Kaka handed Gucci to me. I held
him in my arms and his little fuzzy, double-coated black and brown hair
wedged to my tweed DNKY jacket. That day a bond that would live
through flames and canine puberty was borne. We both instinctively knew
that this love that we conceived would never be full until that last,
final component fell into place. I smiled as I watched Gucci approach
Gorgeous with a hug. At last the final component fell into place. I
couldn’t hold back anymore pent up feelings, I gave in to the
bitter-sweet indulgence for I knew that our destiny had finally been
curved and set out for us.
No artist with the even the most
adroit and faultless skill could capture this feeling, this image, this
Indulgence in a painting or curving. I resolved to try nonetheless. I
chose to keep this image with me for life. I walked over to my garage
that at times doubles as my workshop and I picked up a palette of
natural, earthy colors and let the strokes of my brush run wild and
unbridled against the taught canvas. Between each stroke of my painting
brush were a million atoms of unexpressed emotions. Each stroke itself a
living demonstration that love and destiny were the primal forces that
drew and molded Eve out of Adam's side while he slept. As the image
materialized before my etching eyes, Gucci was laying on Gorgeous’ lap,
licking her unpainted cuticles. Tisha my daughter was smiling and
giggling sheepishly as she drew laugher-choked breaths between
intermittent hand claps. Destiny took my hand-clasped painter’s brush
and the strokes grew more aggressive. A bit more chaotic. But beyond
what the eye could see, an artist’s impression of love was visible. Like
the writings on the wall at Belshazzar's feast that only Daniel could
decipher, only me, myself and my loved ones could resonate with the
message the painting carried. Today we understand the poetry of the
heart, but over the courses of our lives we will tend to demystify this
precious feeling more and more. We will learn about biological processes
that cause specific reactions; we will learn about cultural influences
on how we behave and think about love; we will learn about the
psychological and physiological processes that make us fall for each
other. Even though we often think of ourselves as a faithful species,
we’re not the only one in the animal kingdom. Wolves, swans, gibbons,
black vultures, albatrosses and even termites are just a few of those
animals that find a mate for a lifetime. Mine is Gorgeous Diana Cormac .
