He Had Such Quite Eyes By Bibsy Soenharjo

He had such quiet eyesShe did not realiseThey were two pools of liesLayered with thinnest iceTo her, those wuiet eyesWere breathing desolate sighsImploring her to be niceAnd to render him paradiseIf only shed been wiseAnd had listened to the adviceNever to compromiseWith pleasure-seeking guysShed be free from the hows and whysNow heres a bit of adviceBe sure that nice really niceThen youll never be losing at diceThough you lose your heart once or twiceSYNOPSISThis poem is about a lady who falls in love with the wrong man. She is fascinated with his eyes that seem to lure her to give him paradise. The man has a pair of quiet eyes that she does not realise they are not that quiet. As she is charmed by the eyes, she does not listen to the advice given by other people who are concerned with her behaviour. In the end, she realises her mistakes and is broken hearted.THEME Betrayal of love Personal experiences Relationships that are meaningfulMORAL VALUES Dont be naive and believe everything we are told especially in matters of the heart. Be wise when choosing friends. Falling in love is normal but one should be careful. We must learn from the experience of other people. We should be very careful not to give in our principle in order to please other people.TONE, MOOD, ATMOSPHERE Refelective Sad and happy SympatheticPOINT OF VIEW Second and third person points of viewLANGUAGE & STYLE Simple and easy to understand Simple style with rhyming schemeMEANING OF WORDS sighs long, deep audible breaths eyes a pair of organs of sight advice guidance desolate unhappy and uninhabited pleasure-seeking looking for a feeling of happy satisfaction dice a small cube with each side having a different number ranging from 1 to 6 layered arranged in layers lies intentional false statements realise become aware compromise agree paradise heaven render provide or give help imploring begging desperately wise having knowledge and good judgement
