I'd turn the other cheek, but here's the thing
that cheek's been slapped before, and there's the sting

She tried desperately to remember her dream  
frantically trying to seek
the reason she awoke this morning
with a tear upon his cheek.

What a Cheek

A grocery shelf in Soup Creek
Has been vacant throughout the week
With Pinkerton care
Now Vegemite's there
Tom's living on bubble & squeak?

Half Done Bun

Stan Jex would have had a great physique
only problem was it wasn't complete.
Doctors were confounded
totally dumbfounded
to discover Stan had only one cheek.

Premium Member The Bare Faced Cheek of It

There are those ladies of an acquired taste
Who happen to let rip with no disgrace
No warning of intention
And no one dares to mention
That lady with a smirk on her face

Premium Member Probing My Cheek

probing my cheek
     a mild breeze
     released
     from icy clutches
       for a spell

     ducking inside
     i rushed to return
     vanished 
     the breeze
       no guarantees

Cheek To Cheek

As we dance cheek to cheek
You make me smile chin to chin
My fingers tracing the smooth edges of your rounded face
spewing ecstasy enveloped without trace
As we dance cheek to cheek
You make me smile chin to chin

Here's the 'Poem of the Day'
  If it's not selected, it's not OK

It rhymes in time, truly chimes ~

Tongue In Cheek

Preaching to the choir
one more like will do
Beating the last dying horse
postings stay as new
I’ll read yours if you’ll read mine
lined up in the queue
I’ll say yes if you agree
— who is kidding who

Rosy Cheek

I kissed this days rosy cheek and it lifted
me up in its branchs opening the door of
my heart taking away my sadness- 
my anger,my enemy thoughts-destroying all
so that i may rise from the ash smiling 
and radiant,again humbly human.California blue

Premium Member Teardrops

Raindrops refract sunlight to form 
A rainbow
A teardrop refracts sunlight to form 
A colored bubble
So,when l see teardrops 
Running down your cheek
I would say 
Don't cry baby 
Cheer up
I have seen a teardrop 
With a colorful rainbow
(a bright tomorrow)

Cheek

Only in time do I see it unwinding 
Its like I’m searching for something I’m not finding 
So cliche but Ive really I’ve been trying 
And straight to my face you’ve been lying 
I don’t believe you or really any words you speak
It’s okay I forgive you and I’ll try to turn the other cheek

Good Morning!

I love the mornings
That is the best time to rise
The purest part of day.

I’m an early bird
No one else is awake yet
I smell my coffee

The quiet of mornings
Is when I'm most connected
A sacred time for me

I wake it’s still dark
I feel refreshed and ready
And kiss morning’s cheek

Alarm Clock

Appreciated morning time friend.
Despised morning time enemy.

Always knowing when to chime in.
Never knowing when to shut up.

Piercing the calm.
Then teasing peace, but only for a short while.

Liking to hear itself speak.
Can't hear myself think.

Alarm clock....
Oh, dreaded alarm clock.

Cheek To Cheek

I wanna stop this painful thought’s storm
I wanna write this song with rhythm

I wanna  dance with you cheek to cheek
I wanna love you more every week 

I wanna sing a song for you tonight
I want peace baby I don’t wanna fight

You are precious than a piece of art 
I wanna hide you inside my heart

Sitting Cheek To Cheek

M-orn eighth February breaks, 
A-fter the twilight is gone; 
R-ising sun starts to shine
I-n the break of dawn.
L-et early Wednesday warm
Y-our soul and your heart; 
N-o more mist and haze, as the shadows depart.

M-oment of bonding happens
O-nce in every week; 
N-ice they are together, sitting cheek to cheek.

The Dimples On Your Cheek

Tonight,
 I wanted to sleep
 Without writing any word 
For your smile.
 Tonight,
 I wanted to pretend
 I am not touched by your beauty and your style.
 
But
 To convince my words,
 I had to show your picture to my heart.
 That is when 
I noticed the dimples on your cheeks.
 Trust me,
 It made your picture the purest art.

Premium Member The Other Cheek

It’s only make believe, I know
But in my fondest dream I go
To some resplendent mountain peak
To gain the precedent I seek
Whereby the wisdom of the Son
Who meekly died for everyone
Is turn the other cheek.

I Felt the Wind of Change

i felt the wind of change arrive
as the ache in my heart 
crept through my chest
and leaked out
the corners of my eyes

the wind was loud.
gusty and salty
a cleansing breath
it brushed democracy's
stifled cheek
awakening She
once again

nature herself breathed
a sigh of calm,
we felt the warm 
glow of love
once again

Premium Member Turning the Other Cheek

he kicked him with left foot on his chest,
bit his fingers with ardent delight,
emptied bladder on his bright white vest!

the victim laughed as if all was right,
hugged offender with love albeit,
then kissed both his cheeks in show of jest!

So here is a lesson from teachings of Christ,
In the love of a father for his infant child!

A Tear Frozen On a Timeless Cheek

Life, lies, and deceit
A tear frozen on a timeless cheek

A past love, a past life
A new love, a tortured wife

A whirlwind of drinks and drugs
A push, a shove, a broken love

A rope, first flight, no life
A tear, time stops, no wife

The beginning, an end
The end, a beginning

Life, love, lies, and deceit
A tear frozen on a timeless cheek

Premium Member Exposing The Other Cheek

Shaking my head, back and forth 

Will someone slap me, please 

Over and over, again and again 

Please.  Slap some sense ... into me

Slap me.  Slap me, pretty please 

Slap, some more sense into me 

Seriously, slap me silly 

Slap me to my knees 

Allow me to become a flower

Exposing me, at my darkest hour

Meanwhile, I moon the world

I am just a seed

Premium Member Tongue In Cheek-The Grind

Tongue in cheek - Tongue-in-cheek describes an exaggerated facial gesture — pushing a cheek out with one's tongue — meant to convey contempt or irony. (defined by vocabulary.com)

Tongue in Cheek-The Grind

the grind, prefer dark;
shifting teeth do not agree -
the worst habit, under moon.

squeeze a tube of paste.
superglue the parts to each -
only metaphorically.
