Great one here from Beardedbruce.
   

Kisses are,
                but may be classified,
                according to intent.
                A kiss
                Upon the forehead
                is to seal devotion:
                A light touch on eyelids
                indicates a hope for peaceful dreams:
                On a cheek
                shows family affection.

                A kiss upon the lips
                has several meanings:
                One, a gentle brush of lips,
                offers concern,
                The other, a striving of the teeth and tongues,
                shows willingness and desire.

                To kiss the ears, the neck, or chin
                Might be to seek for trust, or just to taste the skin.

                A kiss upon the curve of breast,
                investigation:
                That upon the nipple often a plea,
                or hunger for attention.

                The kiss upon the stomach, back or arms
                is to arouse sensation.


                A kiss on back of hand,
                a greeting, or a subtle offer:
                Upon the palm, a gift of heart,
                to be tightly held, or quickly released.

                The kissing of the fingers, or the toes,
                shows a desire to please,
                or to be guided onward.

                The touch of lips to thighs, and variations,
                are preludes and will not
                be treated in this note.

                This is a partial catalog of meaning:
                Next week, we will discuss techniques.
