Freeing The Words
The greatest pleasure
the absence of pain
The greatest freedom
relinquishing gain
The greatest message
the one from inside
The greatest secret
the hardest to hide
A dollar given
a blessing earned
A lesson taught
a lesson learned
A truth in waiting
a lie untold
A promise whispered
a pledge on hold
When voices call
the doubtful pander
When questions breed
they’re left unanswered
When lost in space
there’s room for motion
When Venus reigns
new love’s devotion
Written in code
the warning’s hidden
Freeing the words
— tomorrow given
(The New Room: December, 2025)

Philosophical paradoxes and abstract truths about pleasure, freedom, secrets, balance.
Dense layered paradoxes, contrasts, and philosophical ideas packed tightly throughout.
Mixed: contemplative wisdom balanced against doubt, unanswered questions, hidden warnings.
Propulsive repetition and parallel structures create steady momentum and intensity.
Approximately 20-24 lines across four stanzas; mid-range length poem.
Rich metaphors, personification (Venus, voices), coded language, symbolic pairings throughout.
Pure lyric internal voice; philosophical meditations without dramatic persona or narrative.
