Best Poems Written by Emmanuel Apox

When Your Silence Meant 'Yes'

We travelled through the noisy streets
Staring at those buildings of old
I marveled at these our feats
That before were seldom told
My heart spoke and yours listened
Yet no words were needed
The response you gave was in the air
Yet produced no symphony or sound
I heard it all, loud and clear
And in it a new joy I found
I smiled and you wondered why
Then I saw from the corner of my eye
That you closed your eyes, sighed and smiled
For ‘twas true – no one lied or pried
The ‘yes’ was said silent but loud
And the friendship made me proud
