Poem: He Had Such Quiet Eyes

He Had Such Quiet Eyes 

 Bibsy Soenharjo

He had such quiet eyes

She did not realise

They were two pools of lies

Layered with thinnest ice

To her, those quiet eyes

Were breathing desolate(1) sighs

Imploring her to be nice

And to render(3) him paradise

If only she'd been wise

And had listened to the advice

Never to compromise

With pleasure-seeking guys

She'd be free from the "hows

and whys"

Now here's a bit of advice

Be sure that nice really means nice

Then you'll never be losing at dice

Though you may lose your

heart once or twice
