“The kindest word in all the world: is the unkind word unsaid”
Your words are harsh and unnecessary
I don’t like them, much like your energy.
You speak profanity to mask your fear
Bold and aggressive you have no idea,
The off balance you set just by your presence
Swear all you like, swear loud, with some merit.
I choose not to re type re phrase your foul mouth
I choose not to strike the iron you want me to shout
People fall out of line and stumble on their coffee
I have seen it before so your brute doesn’t shock me.
It’s not just your words that seem to end with blasphemy
The way you walk the way you eat, it’s in all that you carry.
Put your bag down, unload some of the junk
We good folk just don’t give a ‘fuck’
See how nasty this tastes left on the tip of the tongue?
That’s what you do to others with your shrill aggression
Take time, chew your food and your words too
Language is a gift that should be met with gratitude.
Take a que from the classics, a leaf out of their book
Wordsworth, Poe, Plath, Hemingway and Virginia Woolf.
“That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.” Wordsworth

butterfly thoughts
My mood, the colour of wine.
My thoughts, deep red much the same.
Butterflies won’t leave the brain today all I can do is manifest.
Lock me out if need be, I know my head is overbearing.
Mood right now, blocked. Hard.
Mediate right now, I just can’t.
Butterfly thoughts free my mind; I keep lists to lessen their chatter scatter endurance.
Not in my stomach but my head, excited little energy babies that
Take wing in couplets like beautifully phrased poems.
Syntax of my words in tune, in key, in time.
Quickly before I loose my mind.
They float out at night, when I practice mediative sits.
They store in my dreams and do crazy things.
When I’m sitting straight and eyes shut, I feel them literally leave my brain. Butterfly thoughts as they rise and take leave, they make my head light, like the wings, like the delicate breathlessness of the creature itself. I am calm, I am at peace.
Lovely little butterflies.
Tonight can’t seem to shoot free. The darkness grabbed a net
Tried to catch me.
My mood, wine and a dark lit room.
Ill lace the mind with blood tinted calm, sink into sleep
Sedate beating wings that need a night before release.

brothers keeper
He knows that I know that he knows
That’s why we don’t care when other people think they know
Only one brother
Got no other.
Two sisters
All from the same Mr and Mrs.
His my friend. Hard to reach,
Yet there for keeps.
Let the rhyme subside…
A typical Cancerian, extremely sensitive, can’t stand confrontation.
Cancers are the deeply emotional, who are smooth and confident on the outside. Must be where the nickname ‘silky’ came from.
Also known as..Lanis, Matt, ‘the conda’ (don’t ask) brother bear and Lanny.
Eats everything in bread, dislikes sleeping pills and milky coffee.
At times my diary and reality keeper. At times the only one who understands me, then doesn’t get me at all.
Not a fan of liars, snakes, coriander, and alarms, loves cheese, preferably the platter…dressing gowns, hip hop music, sunglasses, double denim, chocolate bars, fancy dress and Mary poppins.
Usual suspects, and Crash among favourite films, into footy, his phone, holidays, and music festivals. Not afraid to wear pink, or speak from the heart.
Loved backstreet boys and Boys II Men growing up, and I never once questioned his sexuality. Brought up in a house full of woman and girls, may give you some leeway into the successful track score among female company.
A loyal friend, a sense of humour, athletic and assertive.
Introduced me to vegemite and avocado which I swear to God he started, now it’s some well known fact that the two rock together.
Much like as on a night out, our energy and quirks balance one other out, and entice admirers.
Used to cook me eggs in a cup in the microwave- yes I know, don’t dis it until you have tried it, I thought my big brother was a freaking genius.
Taught me to kick a footy (after many attempts), stick up for myself, play tetress, who Santa really was, and why Humphrey never speaks.
Tried many times to clue my logic towards chess, gambling and math but it would have none of it. Adore that he simply tried.
Used to do movies at least once a week, and we would see everything thanks to his free hook ups as one of the Village Cinema team leaders. Met Usher in that time and has too been in the presence of the Queen of England!
How times have changed, how doors have opened, how proud I am
I miss our closeness
I miss our childhood
I wish I could remember more of us as kids
I understand life can get in the way.
I am lucky to call this love my friend I am lucky I can call at all
Bubbles baths, holidays, hard times shared, easier to cope, the cone to my ice cream. Would be A dribbling mess, without him in my life.
A heart that accommodates for so much compassion and affection for nieces, nephews, cousins, and the like. Like me, totally in love with family.
Successful at what he does, club owner, event runner, thrower and defiantly a catch. For a day I know he would love to be a break dancer, or Denny Crane (Boston Legal.)
Jeff Kennet, Richard Branson, Elvis and our father among his heroes.
Never into violence- but if you do something wrong (to me) he will kill you.
Encouraged me to sing, a thanks permanently inked on my wrist and heart.
Sure I was his little punching bag through them adolescent years, but we made a deal when he turned 18 he wasn’t allowed to hit me any more. Since then body contact only consists of hugs and love and the occasionally back crack.
We have our own little way to do it, which most freaked out by the sight, butno one else can perfect quite like us and we know what we’re doing.
Ambitious, all round ladies man, (I am being generous with the loose ‘lady’ title here)...loose though many have been, when his with a lady of his heart he is all gentlemen.
Shared dreams and encouraged impetus
No room for people with bad manners, in fact you are an instant ugly.
Liars mean about as much as the last pieces of bread in a packaged loaf.
Very little at all. Disregarded. Destined for the trash.
This coming from a lover of bread.
Into fine dining, and cafes more so for breakfast, the sports and business ends of newspapers, into knowing the weather, what’s on in Melbourne, and the one to call for directions.
Forgive the cliché but knows me better than I know myself at times, perhaps some how a little psychic.
A pillow to cry into, fall asleep on, part of my jumbled, re arranging feng shui.
Part of my memory, creativity, and what drives me to be better.
I know life’s busy
I know I am sensitive
I know my brother better than the disco talk
I love that regardless how I feel, he is adored
By men women alike, no amount of time behind those doors can take away from the moments caught in precious photos, adored and scattered through out our parents place.
In a time and place where innocence was still threaded in our clothing.
Thoughtful, kind gift giver, art work, jewellery, musicals and leather goods!
Words of mockery, that know just how to stir my watery belly
Words of clarity to help level my untamed mentality
Words of rationality in an endless, exhausting attempt to tune my scattered mind
He loves that I walk on the other side of the footpath, he worries that I live in the dreamtime…that I love too hard, too fast and trust human beings far too much.
In his words ‘naivety’ in mine ‘mistrust’
I miss our closeness
I miss our childhood
I wish I could remember more of us as kids
I understand life can get in the way.
I am lucky to call this love my friend I am lucky I can call at all
I am humbled in the thought of our relationship
I am truly my brothers’ keeper.
That’s why we don’t care when other people think they know
Only one brother
Got no other.

Kinesiology
In tune with the liver points
The poor one sighs with frustration
It explains my behaviour of recent
Learn to project to feel to pursue and exude happiness before you can access it
I want out of this job. Pumping coffees and my energy into other people all day is not me.
To serve… serve for little purpose, little coin and little inspiration
I need to create to be moved. A vibration of this energetic field
Today Adrienne just re enforce to manifest and be grateful before quitting
I’m a writer, I’m a singer. I’m already writing, singing, already successful
In order to get it, and I will first I must believe it, speak it aloud and be happy in my present environment.
Tomorrow I will nuture that barrista like it’s my stage. The coffee beans my ink, and the groove heads that pour Mr and Mrs their caffeine hit, my love and words and art.
She unblocked the tension and clot in my head and brain channel and within a instant I jolted out of my body, that feeling you get just before you fall into sleep.
Calmer and more in tune with the earth, she grounded me
I ground the coffee- I want let it be a burden or a migraine
Weening off negativity to manifest my true path.
To have here or take away? To have and to hold. Any sugars? aint life the sweetest gift.
Gifted. Given space to acquire the wisdom to know I am blessed.

my tip 10 top health list: eat on shine on
My top 10 list of health/treat must haves:
Recently I partook in a 10 silent meditation course out in the hills- the most phenomenal mental and physical toxins entered and released from my body. A multitude of things happened to me one thing being a voice repeating “if your good to your body your body will be good to you” I am working on my vipassana piece at the moment so stay tuned;) but since returning I have been even more into doing good things for my body- putting nutrients and love into it and I love discovering new foods, fruits, vitamins- oils anything to help me feel and live a little longer;)
So I am going to set up a health tips kind of guide to different shops, teas, foods, anything I am loving or doing for myself that I feel are working and shifting something in me- I write to try and help others feel and connect and I think through our shared desire to be good to ourselves and bodies a health blog is a nice way to go about it without being to preachy- im not a trained professional but I know enough and hear loads from those around me so im’a share with you all- take what you will do as you feel;) the new blog will be called organic apple- for now heres my top 10 im loving it factors- come work at least one into your day or diet
Peace love and mung beans angel pies!
Its winter- its cold- it’s all a little sensitive and sore this time of year
Look after yourself man! Cut back on coffees and pack more fruit and lunch, then use that extra pocket to indulge in a few little luxuries;)
Heres what I’m loving…
1.Jujube berries- organic or health food shops. This is my latest new find. I just was attracted to them when shopping at wholefoods yesterday. Around $8 for a packet, they are an ancient Chinese remedy, from Sheenanog, used to nourish blood, liver and stomach- with me anything to help out my liver and aid for…mind and body, fatigue and weakness- which again with my years of chronic fatigue, anything to boost my tired body I hone in on, they also contain vitamin C, A, E, B and B2.
2. Coconut water- that latest craze, you will develop to crave at least one bottle a day. I’m trying to cut down on coffees so despite the over priced pull at $6 a bottle it seems justified. I discovered coconut water at my Bikram Yoga studio, and since buying one really cant stop. Its amazingly re hydrating for your body and your skin..and no not coconut cream, it is literally the real deal straight from the beautiful little nut itself. Im all about the treats of nature, natural and wholesome. If your feeling run down, just had a work out, or your skins freaking out from the wind and low cold lingers all around- go loco for coco I’m telling you. Try health food stores again but I’m sure before we know it, it will be much more accessible. The BEST brand is, Coco juice- pure organic coconut water in an old school carton. Unlike those ‘vitamin waters’ its low in sugar and carbs, its re storing and helps fight off the nasties, some have said it even promotes weight lost and boost the metabolism.
Im all about teas, and hot drinks in winter, but I also try to drink at least 3 to 4 litres of water a day. I love water, and cant fathom when people tell me they cant really drink it, but if this is the case, seriously check out coconut juice- pure organic coconut water.
Follow this link to see what some of the benefits are:
http://www.gourmetsuperfoods.com.au/epages/gogo6613.sf/en_AU/?ObjectPath=/Shops/susu3747/Products/40003
Once u have tasted it, the health benefits will seem extraneous, but check it all the same
3. Lavender oil: is almost becoming my new fragrance. A little on the back of your neck and wrists before you leave the house or before you get into bed will take that little edge away from your zone. Lavender means ‘to wash’ it has the ability to remove pain and nervous tension. With that being said don’t go crazy because too much will over power you and can cause head aches.
If you have some trouble sleeping too, lavender dabbed on your pillow is beautiful to inhale at night.
4. Tiger balm- extra strength! The chilli kind. This stuff rocks the socks of vics when your not well I believe…but be sure to wash your hands after applying or before going to the bathroom!...
5. Chilli chocolate: Lindt or Green and Blacks organic chocolate. They say chilli and dark chocolate are good for you- so put them both together and you must be doing something right for your body. I am admittedly addicted. It’s the bomb at night with a hot cup of peppermint tea- dip the chocolate in to you tea..mmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
6. English breakfast ‘natures cuppa’ organic tea- but theres a little trick to making it so good. Use cows milk or soy has to be organic and not light to get full cream effect- soak bag with honey or sugar and small piece of ginger.
Gives a beautiful smooth kick to your insides
7. Horseradish and garlic multi vitamins- you may gag at first, but these are dynamite for your immune system, I’m taking them right now actually, trying to kill this current colds butt.
8. Johnson’s baby oil or coconut oil for face and hair.
If your like me and you dry up in winter apply oil to your hair and face- gives you the silk that you need and creates an illusion of summer time with sweet coconuty smell! I like oil in my hair straight after I wash it as its fairly thick, but I found my skin loves oil especially in winter. You won’t get pimples that’s rubbish. I remember when I was younger and my sister had two American girls stay with us on exchange. They had the most phenomenal skin, and told my sister they washed their faces with cooking/olive oil every night!...
9. T2 tea strainer/pots. Easy to wash if you’re like me and drink around 100 cups of different teas a day hook yourself up with a single tea pot/plunger. I also have a friend who gets a great discount buying in bulk from T2 so if you have a Turkish apple addiction or a favourite herbal remedy you cant get enough of, enquire with in…
email me at klanigan8@gmail.com
10. Epsom salts/ milk and orange aromatherapy oil
Bath time- male female, young old, sick not sick. Busy or chilled... Everyone must take one day a week for a bath….lay it with your left over milk, Epsom salts for aches and pains, and with a hit of orange essential oil, gives body and mind, and tantalizing, relaxing and rewarding little moment. Vitamin C outside as well as in, and takes away that dry, drab, brisky aired feeling of a chilly day. It does something to the insides, faster than a cup of hot coco. As Erykah Badu said “ladies make time for your bubble bath..”

GAGA for Esperanza.......
Esperanza Spalding is a rare and beautiful treat to the music scene..
Ga ga for Esperanza
Self taught to play bass by age of fifteen!
Her Mamma put the silk in her stride-, claiming to be her greatest influence “she was hip enough to teach me all before I understood..” mixing sexy with smooth like a delicate, seductive, detailed and defined dessert..
Left on your lips and mind, she’s just oozes cool, vocally and visually
Someone you would want to have over for dinner, someone you would instantly feel dope with when in her presence.
Her music is breath taking, calm, and so different to any thing going on these days..
An instrumentalist, vocalist and composer, influenced by saxophonist Donald Harrison, singer Patti Austin, and pianist Micheal Camilo…This divine being, only 24 years of age, studied at Berkley and seems to allude beyond her years…
She is doing something for the Jazz scene that I think is safe to say has not been done before on an modern, organic, international level…
She manages to mix a classic Billie Holiday, feel with Stevie Wonder, while delivering a Lauryn Hill, Foxy Brown resemblance, a down right cool attitude..
Composed and complete, rocks out and rocks with perfection..
Totally spunk, total gift, totally talented
Her name means ‘hope’ in Spanish, and she has said of her music she wants to lift people up and bring about hope, girlfriend most defiantly lives up to her name…
One in a million, someone’s shoes I would love to wear for a day, just to feel that way, that velvet grove of jazz and understanding of its truth and simplicity.
All I got to say is at some point today
Visit “endangered species”, and “grooves” on you tube and be taking away
May not mean much to some, but Letterman described her as the ‘coolest guest he had ever had on his show”…
Rarely do you see a woman playing bass…she can too switch to violin
Melting, mood, music. no lolly pop candy rubbish….she plucks on her bass, and hello you just as I did too, will go GAGA for Esperanza..

Sparling water of notes heart hit on high…
Self taught to play bass by age of fifteen!
Her Mamma put the silk in her stride-, claiming to be her greatest influence “she was hip enough to teach me all before I understood..” mixing sexy with smooth like a delicate, seductive, detailed and defined dessert..
Left on your lips and mind, she’s just oozes cool, vocally and visually
Someone you would want to have over for dinner, someone you would instantly feel dope with when in her presence.
Her music is breath taking, calm, and so different to any thing going on these days..
An instrumentalist, vocalist and composer, influenced by saxophonist Donald Harrison, singer Patti Austin, and pianist Micheal Camilo…This divine being, only 24 years of age, studied at Berkley and seems to allude beyond her years…
She is doing something for the Jazz scene that I think is safe to say has not been done before on an modern, organic, international level…
She manages to mix a classic Billie Holiday, feel with Stevie Wonder, while delivering a Lauryn Hill, Foxy Brown resemblance, a down right cool attitude..
Composed and complete, rocks out and rocks with perfection..
Totally spunk, total gift, totally talented
Her name means ‘hope’ in Spanish, and she has said of her music she wants to lift people up and bring about hope, girlfriend most defiantly lives up to her name…
One in a million, someone’s shoes I would love to wear for a day, just to feel that way, that velvet grove of jazz and understanding of its truth and simplicity.
All I got to say is at some point today
