The Great Mirror of Same-Sex Love - Poetry - 94. ...He's 19 years old...

.

29 Reasons I Luv Him

for T. S.

 

 

1. He’s 19 years old.

 

2. He likes to kiss, even french-kissing me,

closing his eyes.

 

3. His eyes, green and cat-like.

 

4. Muscles, beautiful muscles

from working in a lumberyard.

 

5. Skin, skin smooth and soft

as a woman’s.

 

6. Nipples like rosebuds.

 

7. He likes to drink beer, even more than I do,

chugalugging bottle after bottle.

 

8. He stole 38 cars. He loves to drive my car.

I am worried he will wreck it.

 

9. That’s another reason: I worry about him.

I worry about him too much.

 

10. He will jack me off if I ask him,

the palms of his hands rough from work.

 

11. He really does love me, I know that now.

I don’t know what to do about that. Except go along

with the way things are. I feel helpless.

 

12. He gets upset when my come gets on him or his clothing.

He demands it’s wiped off right away.

 

13. His smell lingers in the frontseat of the car.

 

14. He lets me unbutton his blue jeans

and play with his cock. This gives me a hard-on.

 

15. I luv his cock even though it’s slow to come.

 

16. He lets me suck his cock. It takes forever.

Sometimes he breaks out in a sweat trying so hard to come.

 

17. I am afraid he’s going to fuck up. And they will put him

in jail. I am almost certain he will go back to jail.

 

18. He’s restless. (I put my arms around him.)

 

19. He’s a fuck off. (He wrestles free, being

stronger than I am.)

 

20. He’s a kid, who wants to have a good time.

What’s wrong with that? Can you blame him?

 

21. He doesn’t like working in the rain.

 

22. He plays the car radio, as loud as it will go.

Hard rock, KVAN.

 

23. He loves the sun, and swimming in the river

up by Mt. Hood. Skinnydipping, plunging

into the water.

 

24. Making love in the fresh air.

 

25. Just driving around for hours and miles

in the country.

 

26. What am I going to do?

 

27. How can I protect him from himself? How can I protect

him from myself? How can I protect both of us?

 

28. When will he ever grow up?

 

29. I don’t know. That’s why I love

him the most. Maybe never.

—Walt Curtis

1971

You know I love this AC!  I bet that @Backwoods Boy will get a kick out of it too. Walt Curtis is a favorite from our part of the world.  This poem demonstrates Walt's in your face humor very well! :thankyou:

Even though he's a "local boy", I wasn't aware of Walt Curtis until @AC Benus brought him to my attention.  It's pretty clear he doesn't mince words, at least in this work.  A relationship that was a struggle, but one ends up believing it was a worthwhile struggle.

I wonder now if he ever grew up, and if he did, was it a tragedy that it happened? I wonder too, what time might have done to this beloved boy, who, assuming he’s still alive, must be nearing 75. But even so, this poem makes him forever 19, forever beautiful, and forever loved. Thank you for this. 

"Forever 19, forever beautiful, and forever loved" -- yes, Parker, that's the power of poetry. A time machine to link those who read to those who lived what's described. 

Thanks for reading, my friend

Thank you, Jon. I took some time this morning to type up seven more Walt Curtis poems, which I'll share in the Mirror as a collection. It's funny to think he's so under-represented on the web. I was only able to locate a single site featuring any of his poetry, and then, in total, they present about 14 of his works.

Most of the ones I typed are not available anywhere on the web, and that extents to this brilliant "29 Reasons I Luv Him" as well.

Thanks again
