Vampire Heart

Y


This is a heart surrounded by blood, but there's no blood in it.

I know you know
and you know I know you know -
the one thing the vampire never gets
is trust.

Look.

There's blood all around it
but never inside it.
There's trust all around it
but never inside it.
He never
She never
gets what s/he needs;
He cannot
She cannot
manage to trust.
He never
She never
truly belongs
to anything more

than dust.

Perversion means you are losing your consciousness and behaving like something below human beings. That capacity is man's: he can fall below the animals and he can rise above the gods. That is the glory of man, and his misery too. That is the agony of man, and his ecstasy too.

Man is the only animal in the world, the only being, who is capable of reaching to the deepest hell and rising to the highest heaven.

Perversion simply means you are falling backwards. Conversion means you are moving upwards, falling upwards. And if one is not converted towards the upward journey, one remains perverted.

Maybe your perversion is not very strange and you can adjust to it. Maybe it is a normal perversion, everybody has it; then it is okay, it can be tolerated. But a few people have exceptional perversions, private perversions, their own... And they cannot adjust to the society.

But remember, there are only two kinds of people: the perverted and the converted.

There are only two categories: the perverted and the converted.

Be the converted: start rising above humanity.

The only way to rise above humanity is to accept all the animality that still exists and lurks in you. One who is capable of accepting all that he is, becomes capable of receiving that which he can become.
