Kiss Me

A man's kiss is his signature. ~ Mae West

Kissing is like drinking salted water. You drink and your thirst increases. ~ Chinese proverb

I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth. ~ Chico Marx

Besos are a great show of affection, second to a hug in my book. It says love, of course a new pair of Manolo's screams love a little louder but lets just talk about kissing.

The first kiss that left my heart a flutter was in High School. He's name was Jimmy. It wasn't a great kiss but I did have a ginormous crush on him and it was an unexpected, surprise kiss. A quick peck on the lips, out of no where. Surprise kisses are a pretty fabulous thing. (As long as they don't come from stalkers or pond scum smelly people.)

I love the intimacy of kissing. The affirmation of that connection between me and that other person. The way a quick kiss starts or ends with laughter. The way a beso on my neck will send shivers down my spine when delivered by the love of my vida. (you know who you are)

Those passionate kisses, you know the ones that leave you wanting more, and if continued, cause you to invoke the name of several gods, or makes sounds you aren't totally aware came from you. Passionate kissing that almost takes your breath away. A groovy thing.

The goodnight kiss, reminds me of comfort. Goodnight kisses say "yes, we made it through another day, now go to sleep and stay on your side of the bed". We always kissed goodnight in my family perhaps that is why goodnight kisses are like comfort food to me.

Silly kisses that inspire laughter are great. kissing his bald spot, or some other not so usual spot. Silly kisses that make much more noise then should be allowed, sort of make you mad but you can't help but giggle. Those rapid fire, a million kisses in succession, just because you're in love. Silly kisses, gotta love those.

The lustful kiss, not to be confused with the passionate kiss. The passionate kiss can lead to sex but doesn't always go there. The lustful kiss, well, it's only goal in life is sex. Lustful sex. enough said.

Kisses that wipe your tears away. Nothing sexual, just strength that reminds you all will be OK, that you are loved, even in your worst or saddest moments.

There are kisses I hate. Like the "not only can I touch your tonsils with my tongue but I can also check for nodules in your throat kiss". Don't get me wrong, a deep kiss with tongue is fine but lets leave my tonsils out of it. Deep throating is for other things (yes, that's right I went "ahead" and eluded to you know what, so) The other kiss I hate is the slobbering I really am a dog kiss. Please, please there is no reason why I should look in the mirror to find out there was so much slobbering my mascara ran!. ewww.

Besos are a show of emotion, love and happiness. A kiss from mom or dad, the way you kiss your pet, the besos shared by lovers. All good and then there are those betrayal kisses or that kiss of death, or the ones that spread cooties. Not a good thing. I never had to experience the betrayal kiss or the kiss of death, but I think I got cooties once or twice. So many Besos, so little time.

In the comments tell me how you feel about kissing. Is there a memorable kiss?

Yesterday I was at my parents house. I burst into tears for reason that are a little too lengthy to go into here. My dad hugged me and kissed my forehead. He told me "don't weep for the weakness..." It made me feel better.

About a week ago I received one of those lustful kisses. I find they don't have to be placed on the lips. He had me pressed against a wall placing soft, quick yet insanely tingle causing kisses on my neck. The hair rises on the back of my neck right now to even remember..

Tera said...

Es, I just LOVE your posts!!! And yes, this one is great...kisses can be so perfect and are a true gauge of passion and a direct indicator as to if you are truly attracted to a person or not!

Those kisses the leave me wanting more are the best...I feel those all the way down my spine, and my body throbs for just a little bit more...oh wait, shit, I think your blog has a G or PG rating, so I'll stop there!

Anyways, now that I'm all hot and steamy, I think I will call mi amigo so that he can "da me besos" for lunch!

Amadeo said...

I love the first kiss...it's funny I love that movie 50 First Dates cause of that song Adam Sandler sings in it..."How bout another first kiss..." It's the aspect of uncertainty about how it will be received and certainty that you must do it. The melting into it if it's good. Ahhhh....good post.

EsLocura said...

Susan, your dad sounds sweet. (I hope you are feeling better) As for that lustful kiss ...you lucky girl.

EsLocura said...

Tera, never worry about stupid ratings, say what yo wish at the asylum. Oh, and do enjoy "lunch" (low cal even)

EsLocura said...

amadeo, yeah that first kiss can be a real winner. I love that song, and I actually thought that movie was pretty good, silly but good.

Kissing You by Des'ree is a beautiful song....and how a kiss should be in my opinion ...

I had this boyfriend who nearly killed me with his tongue...it was so strong in my mouth I though my airway would be crushed....but down where it should have been it was heavenly : )
I like soft kisses. Gently probing tongue, no slobbering.

I just love kisses! All kinds, whenever, wherever...ranking above hugs for me;>

EsLocura said...

Caspar, thanks for sharing that link, I had forgotten what a lovely song that is. (fav line "touch me deep, pure, and true gift to me forever cause, I'm kissing you")

EsLocura said...

woo,I know what you mean, a great kiss is fabulous.

Kofi said...

Kisses are a lot like vitamins (or even something bad for you, like hot fudge sundaes... but I digress). They give you that unidentifiable thing you need to get through your day.

EsLocura said...

kofi, so be sure to take your daily vitamins when at all possible.

mist1 said...

Bad kisses are worse than bad sex in my book.

EsLocura said...

Mist, you are very wise.

Anonymous said...

Kisses are one of the few things that mean "hello", "goodbye" and for those times in between "I am glad your here."
Not to mention the medicinal kiss such as a mother's kiss on a scraped knee that makes things all better.

EsLocura said...

gp, a wise observation. kissing is multi-purpose.

Unknown said...

love kissing... long as it's not a stink breath mf'er!

Paula D. said...

That was great! I LOVE kissing.....LOVE IT!!!!!

Nina said...

Kissing, for me, is more intimate than anything. My favorite kisses are the the ones where he holds your head in his hands and the ones he gives me when he thinks I'm sleeping. Those are the sweetest!

Anonymous said...

awwwwwww....with the exception of Cocoa's stink breathe reference....all comments were sweet and touching

cas608

EsLocura said...

Cocoa, eeewwww is right.

Paula, Damn right, as do I!

Nina, that sounds romantic and endearing.

Cas, yeah stink breath is a real turn off on many levels, but seems like most kissers can tell that before they come close to kissing the offender.

Dagromm said...

I like the progression of kisses with someone. How it goes from unsure to "Oh yeah". Then all worry washes away.

EsLocura said...

Dagromm, sweet as sugar, that is.

EqualOpportunityCrush said...

i love light, sweet kisses. I hate when I feel like someone is devouring my face!

passionate kisses are cool, but not every single time you kiss a guy..

i love kisses though! who doesnt?

lyre said...

Thanks for stopping by. My Ex used to give what I called the "porno" kiss. Open mouth stick out tongue to a point and tickle lick the others tongue, face,neck, or whatever. I hated it. That is part of the reason why he is an ex.

EsLocura said...

equal, you have to be "not well" or afraid of cooties to love kisses. thanks for stopping by the asylum.

lyre, thank you as well for stopping in and be sure to come, just leave all sharp objects at the front desk.

heather said...

that painting makes me think of 'dying young' with julia roberts and campbell scott.
kisses are more intimate than sex. you can fake sex and get away with it, but a kiss is pretty hard to fake. at least ~i~ never could.

heather said...

btw, well put dags. :-)

heartinsanfrancisco said...

In my experience, bad kisses and bad sex go together (like a horse and carriage.) I remember one in particular...

EsLocura said...

Heather, but you can fake a bad kiss just to teach someone a sharp and valuable lesson.

Hearts, you tease!

Mermaid Melanie said...

i love slow kisses. kisses that start out as a simple sign of affection that lead to more. my first love, (not my first boyfriend) was a very good kisser. I remember the one time we were making dinner in my kitchen, and we had been arguing for a couple of days. he innocently kissed me, and I reciprocated... which lead to a ruined dinner, but great makeup sex.

i love love love kissing. yea. mucho beso's por favor!

EsLocura said...

melanie, make up sex that's a whole other blog entry. thanks for stopping by.
