Romance in Verse: Honey spiced with cloves…

null

Her breath is like honey spiced with cloves,

Her mouth delicious as a ripened mango.

To press kisses on her skin is to taste the lotus,

The deep cave of her navel hides a store of spices

What pleasure lies beyond, the tongue knows,

But cannot speak of it.

~Srngarakarika Kumaradadatta,  12th century

Romance in Verse: A Thousand Kisses…

The Kiss, c. 1907 Gustav Klimt

(This is one of my favorite paintings.)

Give me a thousand kisses, then a hundred, then another thousand, then a hundred more, then a thousand, followed by a hundred; finally, when we have added up many thousands, we will muddle the score so that we lose count and no enious person can cast the evil eye on us when they learn we have had so many kisses.
