They all change according to the place you put them. You can add any suffix to one verb, some are not suitable but what I mean is that since you add '-ma,-me' to 'kalk', that doesn't mean you can't add any other suffix to 'kalk'
Here is the example:
Kalkmanı istiyorum: I want you to wake up(get up) OR I want your getting up (more turk-english) =)

Kalmak istiyorum: I want to get up
Kalmak lazım: We need to get up (and go, somehow to leave the place you have been)

Here are the examples which are generally asked most =) Guess why!

I want to kiss you: Seni öpmek istiyorum.
I want kissing with you: Seninle öpüşmek istiyorum

And here your examples:
love - loving sevmek, sevme (both possible, depends on what you want to say)
kiss - kissing öpmek, öpüş, öpüşmek
run - running koşma, koşmak, koşuş
show - showing gösterme
make - making yapma
read - reading okuma
talk - talking konuşma
listen - listening dinleme

The suffixes may change according to the place in the sentence.

He is kissing: Öpüyor
He is running: Koşuyor
He is showing: Gösteriyor
She is making cake: Kek yapıyor.
I am reading a book: Bir kitap okuyorum.
We are talking with him: Onunla konuşuyoruz.
I am listening to music: Müzik dinliyorum.

This -ıyor is for tense =)
