The poem 'The Words That Are Simplest' is all about expressing love and showing how much important a loved one is in your life. Nicholas Gordon says that though the words 'I love you' are simple and easy to understand, they are extremely powerful. These words are precious and have weight. They have the capability to spill the love contained in your heart. The words 'I love you' show the immense and intense care that you have for a person. These words form the core of love and can fill a person's life with happiness. The words 'I love you' contain the whole essence and emotion of love. They are simple to say, but condense in meaning and expression.
The Words That Are Simplest
The words that are simplest
And easiest to understand
Are the most powerful:
I love you,
I want to be with you always,
You're the best thing that ever happened to me.
My heart flows like a river,
Spilling its emotions into a sea
In which the truth moves unseen,
Swimming with silent grace,
Too monstrous for light or land.
The truth feeds on words,
The most powerful words,
The words that are simplest
And easiest to understand.
