The Rose Garden – Figure Study, Dante Gabriel Rossetti (c. 1861)
Kiss Me So Slowly
So eager am I for your touch
Yet desire that you do not rush
Be as gentle as you can be
Kiss me so softly
Kiss me so sweetly
Kiss me tenderly
Most importantly
Kiss me so slowly
Kiss me so slowly
Making it reach my hungry heart
And deeper to a lower part
Let your lips linger upon mine
Let me taste all of their sweetness
Let us not feel a sense of time
Let me wallow in their wetness
Kiss me so softly
Kiss me so sweetly
Kiss me tenderly
Most importantly
Kiss me so slowly
