Ka' Box

Dark Tower Poems

Thoughtbox

Here hatches your ideas and dreams, watch
them closely. They will be the root of most
your actions. You'll find bad habits form
too easily and seem to become deeply
ingrained overnight. Best to learn proper
use for the thing above your shoulders.
You could do a world of good.

Heartbox

Here's the source of all your complex emotions
you never truly understand but can't help
to purse. The great irrationals passion and love
slumber here till they bloom into what both
really are, obsession. What will be your
heart's obsession? This will lead you more
than thoughts better choose wisely.

Soulbox

Here derives your meaning of morals
and justice. Unlike your ideas or feelings
this you have almost no control over. It's more
like a written code imprinted from the day you
were born. True, it could change with life
experiences but for the most part it is
what it is. Blessed are those not destructive
in nature.

Ki' Box

Here we are in our most primal form.
This is our shitbox, this is where we hide
our nastiest, darkest secrets, where we
house our petty jealousness. It's us acting
on animal instincts; killing, taking, controlling.
This is the hardest box to keep in check,
there is a place and a time to indulge, but
you most know it before you do so.

Ka' Box

Your thoughtbox, heartbox, soulbox, ki' box are
all held within the Ka' Box. Our box of fate.
Different from all the others we don't see
it, hardly even feel it, and we share it
with uncountable others. Each affecting
The other if only in the smallest of ways.
Some say fate is what you make it, others
think if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen.
I don't know what's true but I disagree with
the latter. I won't leave it at that, no. I'll
make my mark on that blasted Ka' Box.

I reflect on the financial meltdown and high bonuses while financial institutions condensed, eat smaller firms, a different kind box that. - Just reread this poem twice, We are comprised of a wide range of possibilities! A feast for thought here. - Lady A
