Not your dark poisons again,
White sleep!
This fantastically strange garden
Of trees in deepening twilight
Fills up with serpents, nightmoths,
Spiders, bats.
Approaching stranger!
Your abandoned shadow
In the red of evening
Is a dark pirate ship
Of the salty oceans of confusion.
White birds from the outskirts of the night
Flutter out over the shuddering cities
Of steel.

Georg Trakl (3 February 1887, Salzburg – 3 November 1914, Kraków) was an Austrian poet. He is considered one of the most important Austrian Expressionists.
Somnul
Blestemate fiţi voi, întunecate otrăvuri,
Somn alb
Această prea ciudată grădină
De copaci în amurg,
Plină cu şerpi, fluturi de noapte,
Păianjeni, lilieci!
Străine! Umbra ta pierdută
În roşul serii,
Un corsar întunecat
În marea sărată a mâhnirii.
La marginea nopţii se ridică păsări albe
Peste oraşe de oţel.
În prăbuşire.

great quotes :)
Martin Luther King is a favourite of mine.
Thank you! He was a great man!
Lindsay Lohan and Michael Trevino as vampires, it got intense on this shoot people left bleeding! Lindsay and I had been wanting to do this vampire shoot for a while and it came together in perfect time for my gallery, Trevino just happened to be in town it was all meant to be! What can I say Lindsay she takes it to another level the way she works is incredible she killed it and she killed Trevino who also I had only met twice before this but what an amazing guy I cant say enough about how great he was in this he left my house bruised and bleeding and loved every moment of it!

On The Eastern Front
by Trakl
The ominous anger of masses of men
Is like the wild organ of the winter storm,
The purple surge of battle,
Leafless stars.
With broken eyebrows and silver arms
The night waves to dying soldiers.
In the shade of the ash tree of autumn
The souls of the slain are sighing.
A thorny desert surrounds the city.
The moon chases the shocked women
From the bleeding stairways.
Wild wolves have broken through the door.
