The kiss paintings - Raphael Perez

C O N C E R T I N A


I woke the dawn with the waters of your mouth
which gave in me a tone with lute strings stirring
and a song rising in me up to my throat.
Turning, I shout joy, moan
Regina, you've made me a concertina in my vagina.




G L E E F U L, I W A G G L E


Laughingly, I swing the bell of my little ass hither and thither
just to say you made music inside me. To sound a clapper.


You look at me from the meadow of the pillow
seeing that all this is leading up to a steeple
or even just a shepherd's pipe.

However, gleeful, I cancel these paper capers,
swinging the bell of my little ass.


Poet: Ilan Sheinfeld

Meanings Of Kisses


Kiss on the hand - I adore you.

Kiss on the cheek - I just want to be friends.

Kiss on the chin - You are cute!

Kiss on the neck - I want you.

Kiss on the lips - I love you.

Kiss on the ears - Let's have some fun.

Kiss anywhere else - You're the best.

Below you will find a variety of kiss types. If you find some that catch your fancy, feel free to try them :-)



Earlobe Kiss - Gently sip and suck the earlobe. Avoid louder sucking noises as ears are sensitized noise detectors.

Eskimo Kiss - With your faces less than a breath apart, gently rub your noses together.

Eyelid Kiss - While your partner is resting/sleeping with eyes closed, very very gently kiss the spot right below their browbone. A very intimate kiss.

Finger Kiss - While laying together gently suck on their fingers. This can be very seductive and pleasurable.

Forehead Kiss - The "motherly" kiss or "just friends" kiss. The forehead kiss can be a comforting kiss to anyone. Simply brush your lips lightly across the crown of their head.

French Kiss - The kiss involving the tongue. Some call this the "Soul Kiss" because the life and soul are thought to pass through the mouth's breath in the exchange across tongues. Surprisingly, the French call this "The English Kiss".

Hand Kiss - Gently raise her hand to your lips. Lightly brush your lips across the top of her hand. Historically this kiss was performed with a bow, which showed deference to a lady.

Hickey Kiss - The object is not to draw blood, but to gently leave a mark that will prove your interlude was not a dream. This is often included in erotic foreplay.

Hot and Cold Kiss - Lick your partner's lips so that they're warm, and then gently blow on them. The sudden cold blast makes for a sensual explosion, and they will often try it on you next, as well as get very passionate.

Letter Kiss - Send your lover a kiss in a love letter by writing the letter x several times in a row at the bottom of a letter such as XXXXX.

Lip Sucking Kiss - When kissing gently suck on their lower lip. This can be very exciting.

Virtual Kiss - For Internet lovers. Send an e-card or a kiss via email with this symbol: :-*
