There is a place you can go that is full of only love and Warmth . you will be surrounded by a light that shines from the Heavens , Sprinkles of Silver and Gold. This place is filled with brilliant colors of Purple , vibrant Gold, all colors. not one Color is less significant then another , for every color is equal here . This place is surrounded by the beauty of different Flowers. All flowers have significance here . No one Flower is better then another . All Flowers are equal here . It is important you know , you can cry here , and should cry as often as needed . For the tears will cleanse your Soul and give the Flowers water to grow. No one Tear is insignificant here , every tear has value and not one is better then another . money holds no value , Where you live , what you own, has no significance here . You will be surrounded by a beautiful light that shines from the Heavens . A shining warm light will encircle you and allow nothing to hurt you . Hate will be shed at the door light a old jacket of no use. There is a place of beauty and Worth. This place will not be found on Earth . It is a place where no one person is better then another .
It was their night they shone bright as they danced their sweet dance Two lovers embraced in their world of romance. They laughed and they cried as their eyes locked in stare It was their world for this moment as if no one was there. And their steps they so flawlessly glided in tune, To a melody that touched everyone in that room. Their passion brought envy to onlookers there, Who secretly questioned their own love affair. But as the night closed and came to an end The lovers were blind to what lie round the bend. The house and the cars and the jobs that went bad The kids drove them crazy and their savings were drab. So they fought to hold on to the things in their life, That caused them so much of their pain and their strife. They fought with each other like enemies do, And dismissed in their life everything that was true. So when sickness and hardships and troubles occurred, Their vows to commit seemed truly absurd. Their home and their kids would now take a backseat, For their moral obligation they chose not to meet. So I Ask … What happened to that dance they danced so well? With passion and truth everyone could tell. What happened to their dance where they held so tight? What happened to the wonder of their glorious night? What happened to the words that charmed their ears? With a passionate rhythm that brought them to tears. What happened to those vows that poured from their heart? The "I love you forever and till death do us part". For these aren't just words we borrow for the day, From another who tells us this is what we must say. We say them cause it's what we feel true in our heart, It's a God given blessing we commit from the start. But these words are now lost as they fall on deaf ears, Since the pain and the struggles they've created these years. So the lesson here learned dear people of odd, Is that love is so fragile but made strong with our God. So stop fighting for power and money or need, For all of this nonsense is only our greed. Keep God in your life and he'll walk you through, When heartache and pain and losses ensue. For why commit vows in the eyes of our God, And not call on him when life gets too hard? For the truth of our vows we are all meant to see, is that marriage is not, made of two, but of three If reading these words ring some truth in your heart, Decide that today you will make a new start. Go hug your spouse and say something kind Don't let the small stuff cloud up your mind. We're all just lost souls who are trying to cope If not there for each other then where is the hope? You see, the anger, the fight that in us abide, Is only the insecure child inside. So rise up above all this fear and this pain, And see all the beauty that there is to gain. By trusting in God and his will for you Together forever he'll see you both through. For life is too short for our miserly ways cheap on our love hence dreading our days. He made us to love in all that we do To wake up each morning and start us a new. So pray for your spouse, ask God to be kind To the person you prayed in the beginning to find. They're still the same person you loved from the start But life and it's troubles have hardened their heart. You vowed that you'd love them in sickness and health Now is your chance to show God what you felt. So rise up my friend, don't say that you're through For what if your loving God gave up on you?
To play as if today Is your only chance. Some say, "It's just a game." Have they done the Victory Dance? When hard-earned Victory Was finally at hand, Have they felt the glory Raining down from the stands? To do or not to do…. No one wants to hear, "We tried." Effort and dedication will be rewarded… And 'Sooner Magic' is on your side. Yes, to fall short is still an option; But much better to succeed. Heroes are made and remembered Only by their deeds. So, just go out and win. Give your all to each and every chance. Persevere and achieve… And do the Victory Dance.
I think I'll live forever I think I'll refuse to die Plant my body in the ground My spirit's going to fly Please come fly away with me Once this journey is complete Universe can be our home Our own magical retreat Two celestial bodies Darling lets take to the sky Forget the why, when or how This dream is for you and I Gliding upon golden wings We can dance from star to star I would travel anyplace So I could be where you are Angel's dance like fireflies Through trails of glittering dust In heaven magical things Exist for people like us It seems we have come so far Seems the limit is the sky When I think of who you are Tears of joy I need to cry Everything is what you are You are everything to me Long as eternity last My soul shall be one with thee So let's live on forever We will each refuse to die Plant our bodies in the ground As our spirits take to the sky
Which way leads to the land of green white green? Which way are we heading? A country the wicked bears the rulership, and the people sighing continuously. A terrible thing sprouts beneath the sun: a pregnant woman delivering not. Imps come to lime-light by snuffing air from the goose that laid the golden eggs. The blind guiding the un blind. The weak suppressing the strong-a terrible thing. Like the overthrow of the gods at Mt. Olympus by the Titans. A country where also thieves appear as men of integrity. Land of green white green,which way? A land where the enlightened ones are overshadowed and peanuts given to them. The masses are dogs that eat the crumbs. Which way to go you Land? Iliterates stand on podium of power bellowing orders as milk of sorrow known as dividends of democracy is passed around. The machine of progress manned by the unproductive. "There is better tomorrow" we hear. Land of green white green,my country where rule of law walk beside anarchy. The proles are sentenced to adversity,and there endured death-like trials. Chai! Aru! People dancing on thorns whimpering as they throng along. I see a new sun rising from the horizon,hope is rekindled as its rays grace on hopeless bodies. Look!! there soon be change! Note: This is poem full of Nigeria political angst.

im livin in a world, where all eyes on me. trying to curve my own route. but route 66 keeps finding its way to me. ive been plenty sick, in all the events layed before me. even when i reflect to my lowest points i dont regret any of the choices That I've deployed in my era A lot of it by error, but hey We live in hell conditions and there ain't no air condition Or any guidelines when life throws you in the sidelines But when hindsight twenty twenty hits You'll begin to understand life's a bunch of equations and you in the mix of it An you'll have to think twice, before running into a situation and becoming the best of it Situations it's what got me here, it's what got us here Ran with my thoughts blazing up to her place and Guess what happened next She opened up heaven's gate And just before late I slipped out Simply put I'm a Grown ass man Doin his thing, waitin to blow up like an old land mine In doin what he drools over But time after time Something decides to creep up and cover the light Lost my way Then I revoked to ever know, I ever thought that way But in the in between time, that in the mean time Spent a lot of time Gettin pissed off just to medicate and lift off Don't need Don Perion to sip off Already had my way with the bottle Even thought to get back with the trouble and rejoin the hustle That's just what happens to a man who really knows his old ways Whos tired of making ends meet and ponders getting back to the streets. Memory sets in and he remembers an O.G. saying No matter how tall your pockets stand when you ball Eventually times gonna make you fall Fall And I as I pull myself together I don't wanna end up like the twin towers rubble I mean no offence to nine eleven but at that time I probably could have used a reverend But all that's irrelevant now because i live with a different perspective now there you go you made it to the end :-) comment if you like, constructive criticism wanted as well.
You've got to love your life. I'm drifting through my life As I climb those rocky trails The only place I want to be is now The Spring comes, me just sitting here As the grass grows by itself I never did want too much, anyhow. Can't worry about your burdens One has to travel on The past can't do no damage, it be gone And the future, well there's no one knows No matter what they do You cannot stop those hands from moving on. You've got to love your life That's the only way to go There ain't no going back to what's been done Cause life was made for loving The song you sing is yours You're a one off soul, you be the only one. You have to live your story No matter where it goes No matter what the hard knocks you might gain The road might lead to nowhere Yet dance it anyhow When life stand still, then it be lived in vain.
Work. Toil. The pain I put in the ground. For such a precious thing. Corn. The family enjoys their meal. They plant their leftover kernels. And wait for me to tend to them. Work. An endless cycle in which happiness is born. ©Demand4poetry 21 February 2013
I simply love being me for I am so good at everything step into my city and they will tell you who is King one day when I am hungry I will swallow everything then and only then shall I inherit the stuff I dream even then I promise not to settle for satisfaction at any instant half a second I could spring into full action so go against me? please, you do not even measure up to half of the goodness that I hold tight like my treasure still spreading rumors about me to try and destroy my life can't believe I let myself get beat by a stripper and my self-intended knife try and say I'm gay even though we both know that isn't the truth just ask any woman I been with if they ever needed proof they'll say I was the cream of the crop as they took it all night knowing I just may never stop I own the status of a legend now what you got left to say when I bring it twenty-four seven?
Stand up and shake; Feel the rhythm in your heart. Ignite those pants; We get up and dance. God on our mind, Eternity in our souls; Feel the chills of those bones. It's the hope. Open those closed doors: Into Heaven we go, Welcomed and forgiven. Here is the love; Let's dance!
Long have me feet walked..bare upon de earth of mother Afreeca. Days, passing in a flow'r chain round de brow of de morn. De sacred drum calls wid de heart beattin of de Hougan's soul Afreeca's soul ... Long, long, de walkin from village mounta'n citie to the hounfour ... de temple of de people. We walk joy'us, and penit'nt and pleadin'. Mama carries de food gift fer Ogou Balanjo on her head, corn meal she 'as ground fine. "Ah, de poor sick child" De glass beads aroun' Mama's neck shine like her tears in de sun an de sweat on her skin. We 'ear de rattlin' and de drummin. Dust of de many feet rises. 'undreds and thousands of worshipers pack de square in front of de temple and dance red, gold, orange swirl honorin' our parents and der parents. Long, long, we dance, we dance, and de Loa arrive ... Mama falls possessed by Ogou Balanjo ... De white robes of de pure at heart, and does wid de white faces dance de prayers, de priests returns from de sacred grove white rock, egg white of wealth and happiness de year will be good ... de sick child will heal ... Long, long, the world has spun in a daisy chain Around de sun............
Play The Radio Get Up And Dance All Night Long Music Heals The Soul
''Welcome to Hell," the sign should've read, Reaching your destination-its all in your head! Thank you, for your invention. I'l. Never leave your side. We'll become very acquainted. My child, there's no where to hide "Last call for the train heading to Nowhere Fast," The memories you create will forever last. I bet you feel silly Falling right into my lap. I'm a master at temptation You'll cant escape my trap. Don't pray to god he left your side Just take my hand and let us collide. I will teach you how to play the game. How does it feel to dance with the Devil? Did you realize yet that we are the same? Are you honestly going to try and beat me? A useless battle if you want to know. Go ahead and give it a shot I'm in the mood for a good show. I'll always be your dirty little secret. I won't disappear over time. I guess, you think your special. But I won't leave without a fight Ill do my best to bring you back, I'll keep you up at night. When ever you will want me You know I'm always near I will remain your nightmare, I'm still your biggest fear. A vicious cycle, that's what I am I tend to only speak the truth I'm Satin's weapon of destruction. The silent killer of your youth. "the voice of victory" One year sober, the world seemed dim and black. But I made a promise and I'm not going back. I whipped my eyes, there is no reason to cry. The time has come to say goodbye. You brought me joy, but mostly strife. Then you started to take over my life. It felt so natural I didn't think twice. But your a king at manipulation and you played it nice. It's been 2 years I guess that you lied. You said there is no way out, but I called your bluff. I reslize now that enough was enough. The path I have chosen led me the wrong way. No one thought I will service, but here I stand today. The memories of your sweet rush are no longer a threat. I have done many things in life but you were the biggest regret. I know temptation oh so well. I know your everywhere, waiting to lead me to hell. Save your self the trouble and don't even Try. I locked the gates to hell when I said goodbye. But I hear this voice inside my head. I know I burried you yet you are not dead. The fantasy world you provided was nothing but a lie. Your a constant reminder that life can change in a blink of an eye. I have been clean for too long to go back to my old ways. I like the new me and this is how it must stay. Life may get hard and I might get off track. But don't count on me, I am not coming back. I am happy with my life,been though its not the same. Drugs took so much from me but I beat the devil at his game. This is a voices that reside in my head. So I desided to share them with the world instead. Life may get hard and things will fall apart. But remember tomorrow is always a new start. There is many ways to deal and cope. And believe me neither one of them is connected to dope. Don't take the easy way out, it will will destroy who you are. Don't chose drugs as your escape, they won't get you to far. I share because I know that once your in, you can't let go. They are every where and the each have a name. I was lucky enough to defeat this game. But not all off us are strong enough. Not all of us can call the bluff. Never dance with the devil, is the advice I will give. Because god has a plan for everyone, so you must always believe. When things hit rock bottom and life fills with fear. Remember that god didn't bring you this far to just leave u here. By: Elena Frank
Old time Appalachians deep within the hollows. Self-sufficient, hard working, fine mountain folks With farming, barn raising, and crafting skills, Logging, mining and music to pleasure the ear. Devoted to family, kin gathering they do. Faith in the wisdom of their elders is seen. Church going and revivals, strengthening their beliefs, Appalachians are dignified, spirited mountain folks. Gathering of families, generations of kin. Folk music, old songs blended with time. Mountain twanged voices singing out songs- Flatfoot or clog dancing, kicking up heels, Fiddle picking, foot stomping, hand slapping thighs, Ballads of life's struggles, celebrations and griefs, Brought over by immigrants generations ago. Brings a sense of home for the young and the old. A dedication to a friend of mine.
Mortar binds cobblestones under our feet; The scent of oversized orchids fill the air; See my golden strands braided back; His strong hands join mine in perfect precision; We glide effortlessly in a Scandinavian waltz; Suns and moons set yet we never take notice.
I have been looking for my dream car, 1971 Chevelle. Carrying out dreams and goals are not bad things at all. There is a positive on this. I have a very vivid mind and it goes to work from time to time. Thats a feeling. It is hard for Ek to remember things. How i Feel. Song. Everyone thinks people are there to help them but everyone is out for themselves not trying to help each other out. It is all a dream she would have done this and she would have done that but she did not reply. Where did the girls go was the questions asked by all the guys and then discussed by the girls as they drive off. You were drunk, rambling, and you ran them away. Pure 3-2718space240Dash Bravo. What is this you ask? You can put pure in front of anything and sell It.

Carnelian robes permeate dreamtime landscapes of parchment and prayer flag. Smiling faces walk swiftly through corridors of ancient walls carved from living mountains, spinning cylindrical wheels in their wake. Patience of a thousand, thousand years, we wait for peace. Eagle feathers jounce as soft moccasins dance heartbeat on the prairie hair of Mother Earth. Sacred sisters hold position in jingle dress rhythms offering prayer pipes to their men, who burn sweet grass as they fancy dance past. Patience of a thousand, thousand years, we wait for peace. Hula dancers waft sea breeze in the heat waves of Pele's fire. Warrior lines pace boundary between the worlds, as molten lands part the waters and oasis the humble in a paradise where lei lines encircle life. Patience of a thousand thousand years, we wait for peace. Condor circles as mountains spirits speak telling stories of forever and ever. Ancient peoples gather in raindrop mists to nourish the living land and feed the collective soul the medicine of dreams. Patience of a thousand, thousand years, we wait for peace. "Imagine all the people" sound waves and ipods park bench hosts to afternoon drummers, as momentum gathers inner city gardeners and beekeepers buzzing to the cyber shifts of "sharing all the world". Patience of a thousand, thousand years we wait for peace.
Poetry is music Just words spoken and not sang Picture the melody Imagine the beat You can even dance off rhythm but be confident when you speak Words reveal rhythmically your perception of creativity Poetry is a place where words dance to thoughts about the day And the paper is where they rest until the slam at the cafe Then like a lion it comes in and overpowers the beat Placing periods in places where they shouldn't be Betraying verbs and. cheating on metaphors with euphamisms and irony Poetry is emotion and dance and freedom It's a happy place for the mind and also a spirtual medium Poetry is art. It's what you want it to be So just write write write about just about anything. It doesn't have to rhyme....all the time If you don't want it to As long as it comes from the heart No one can correct you. So Write. POEMS ABOUT POETRY CONTEST January 8, 2013

everyone has some rhythm even if it's only the beat of their heart everyone has some rhythm given to them by the Lord our God the flow of life, the synchronicity of how everything works as one the stream of continuity is how God wants it to all run yet when things get out of sequence when life's rhythm is off-line that's when the devil has thrown a wrench into the midst of your mind the enemy has a counter-rhythm that causes chaos to come in but you can't allow it to intercede and lead you into a dance with sin in Psalm 150 it says to always praise God with a rhythm of music and dance to sing a song, to beat a drum or bang a cymbal at every chance but don't get it twisted as all rhythm in life was created by our Lord God and don't let false prophets tell you that it was the devil who got it started the music of life, the rhythm of living, the simple beat of the heart is the universal rhythm created by the one and only God the harmony of the sun and moon, the rise and fall of the tide and the orbiting of the planets in space all of it has a rhythm that God our Creator put into place so praise God with a rhythm as if it's the one thing you need to do praise God with a rhythm in a beat that's unique to you and be it a talent, a gift or an anointing whatever has been placed on your heart just use it to give praise and glory as you worship the Lord our God so make a joyful noise, stomp your feet, play a tune or just clap your hands dance in praise to the rhythm that's in you in the place where you now stand and even if you can't play an instrument, sing a song or dance to a tune let everything that has breath give God the praise that He is due praise Him, praise Him, praise Him praise God night and day by finding the rhythm that is in you as you praise Him in any way
Dancing with angels beyond Heaven's gate twirling orbs of light, candescent in flight joyous melodies, the Lord's songs elate souls lift in praise, mine reaching new height luminated in love, farewell to night Eternal life, dance of celebration God's promise fulfilled, pure jubilation Suffering ceased in His endless embrace A glorious day, love's incarnation A dance with my Savior, floating in grace By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, March 9, 2012 for Let's Dance contest, sponsor Nette Onclaud
Hands awaken! Speak out! Answer to sacred shouts, subterranean whispering, to stars above rooftops— thread sunlit branches with the chattering of a thousand leaves. If fluxes and urgencies of confusion or death should drawn you into your self-box, I say, remember when one constructed self-prison fell away. However you helped this forward, do more of the same. Be rain-hands, weeping, steeped in earth fragrance. Be fingers in blossom, faces turning upward, loves innumerable, rough-cut bedazzled— unafraid to be splayed open. Be pocketed hands, released to the welcoming wind— multiplying there in mid-air, riding the four directions. Be hands of smoke and fire, descending and ascending like ragged bird-song— effulgent, double-charged with surprise and now even with mock surprises. Start at the beginning, where you are. Don't be satiate with loll-lolling recede wave's tide, retreat back and back into yourselves, until grown utterly intellectual and lumpish! Now, you Human Being—you come awake also! Sweep the furnishings from table. Upend the table lawlessly. Bring the muscular, fleshy, feminine against the masculine and muscular. Bring the masculine to the feminine. Bring friend to enemy, estranged neighbor to the confidant. In a dance of pressing hands, let subtle conversation play. Ring all the tiny bells. Stir the King and Queen of Remembrance. In over-arching restraint, holding back one iota, so pure notes sound— bring sunburst, sphere and harmony. Make your entire body a listening board forming therein—tender shape around which love seed unfolds infinite spaces and then… Spring awake! All to better dreaming where hope and faith are undashed, not this dying. O, hear me now! Hands, every which one of you, with every human—never again sleep, never abandon!
~A Dance with the King~ Have you ever danced with a King? Every girl should sign up. Oh it is the most extraordinary dance you will ever have in your life time. First he will take your hand and ask, "Shall I have this dance, my dearest fair maiden?" Then you bow and curtsy with the most humble grin. Then he smiles in return and the entire universe is lit up! Oh, it is a once in a life time moment. Have you ever waltzed on the edge of the Milky Way? Have you ever tangoed on Mars? Once we danced all night until the stars turned off their lights and then the sun woke us up. As soon as the lights reappeared we continued where we left off. It was the dance of a lifetime. Have you ever held hands with the King of the Universe? His hands are enormous and have all the healing power the world could ever need. There are scars there too you know. Scars from the burden of his love for us. Scars that penetrate deep within his soul. Have you ever really waited for a miracle? Have you ever sat and prayed until you were blue in the face? Have you prayed until something miraculous happened and then shouted and gave the King praise? Oh, you should also do that one day too. Our King can be anything you want him to be. He can be your dance partner if you don't have one. He can be your Father if you are an orphan. He can be a husband if you are a widow. Whatever it is you need him to be he will fill that void for you. How do I know that my poem is true? Because He is every one of these things to me. Gwendolen Rix 11-8-14
Soul in Anguish, Soul in torment, Soul in delirium, Soul in pain, Soul in ecstasy, Soul in anxiety, Soul in frustration, Soul in disdain. Soul in passion, Soul in laughter, Soul in death and Soul in life. Soul in penitence, Soul in reflection, Soul in love and Soul in strife. Oh my soul you Keep me dancing. I can never Dance alone. I search for my Soul's companion. Who will offer? Is there one? Here are now my Suitors willing. There is Envy, Look at Hate, Bitterness and Self-Absorption, Pity looking For a date. What of Vengeance Narcissism, Self-indulgence Dressed up fine, Pride and Guilt with Sad Depression, Desperation, What a line! I have danced with Every suitor. And I've wondered Who is mine. I don't want to Lock into a Partnership that Doesn't shine. All of these have Looked attractive. Yet they weaken On the spins! Where is one that Lasts for ever? I will only Look at him. I need one who Will not fail me, Leave me when the Going's tough, One who's strong and Knows the dance steps. Treading on my Toes is rough! Something deep Within me tells me Suitors there are More than enough, I must search the Highest mountain For the one whose Name is Truth. Mr.Truth will Undergird my Weakness, lift My spirits high. Warm my coldness, Light my darkness, Hold my trust as He draws nigh. . He will lead me Without falter To a banquet Richly spread. I will follow Every dance step Waiting for the Day we wed. Then for ever All those suitors And their lies will Disappear. There will only Be the glory Of beloved Jesus here.
I feel it again, I know why but I can't stop it Rage running through veins so cold Fueling a furnace, old as time RULER do you dance outside my door? Repentance my sweet compensation for this tragedy How you loathe me now, pitch black succubi Cry like the one you can no longer touch I am not yours eternally, I quenched these fires a' fuming ILLUSION do you dance outside my door? It's over, OVER DAMN YOU, damn you to pity me You weak and insignificant wizard of the disenchanted with Wiles you willfully employ to discreetly treat me and,wait a tic, WIZARD are you dancing outside my door? Demon I command you release me from your molten grasp Give you no quarter shall I, not inside these walls, here I am safe from your pain and the infliction of anger you so Succinctly level on me at your beck and call, cursed am I Cursed to feel you pulsing, massaging the back of my mind, Devil Dancing at My Door! But if it is to be thus, I shall no longer open these chambers And you will be left to the cold, remember soon that it shall Be as birth remembers, emotionless and devoid of this Venom Dripping Dropping Spilling Slithering Profusely Painfully Raging Roaring POURING OUT OF EVERY PORE! IT IS YOU AGAIN, GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DAMNED DOOR!
The realms of resurrection buried, Excavating bloody beliefs of slavery, Decimating riots in a blink, Rejuvenating imagery primed energy. Shrillness of voice overpowering the silence, Tears bursting eyes insane, Holiness captured and tortured, Bodies are in colossal pain. Daemons dancing in chaos of secularity, Dungeons blasted by uncanny clout, A shrine struggling to rise above the regime, Insisting to conquer sacredness stout. Freeness exhilarating inside obscurity, Comatose creatures are honing existence Yet a miniature annoying death, Courageously battling with paranormal stance. Enacting with mischievous precedent, Shielding the human race from "The ultimate", Slaughtering designed platform for resurrection, It's time to dance the dance of Devastation to elevate The architect of this lighteous hope is a "Child", A child who preserves the invasion of Godly surmise, The Power of thousand stars unite to exterminate, Rest in Peace "Darkness" in scintillating demise. Spiky mind crafted Absolute revolution, Where noises will be concealed inside silence, A sun will rise from west signalling Victory, Lords Dance of Destruction will certify the resurgence This child will craft a world of peace, Mists and shams destroyed in remuneration of brighter sky, Darkness will deliver the light, Entire universe will be enlightened with "Child's Deify" That Sacred – Powerful – Courageous child destine, To end pain, darkness, daemons and rise as divine.
Don't try to understand the way it is. Don't work it out with logic or you'll miss The loveliness that all around you lies In everything that lives, and always dies. Look without the words that cause the mess, And gaze at life with so much tenderness. Just drink in all the mystery you see, Swim within it's beauty, let it be. So dance my child and wildly sing your song, This song is yours to you it does belong. Just live your life, embrace eternity, And feel within that fire of ecstasy. You tread a road that never has been trod, Be you with the devil, or with God. Go with it child, and melt within the flow, Feel that mighty flame within you grow.
If only I could buy the silence From an antique shop Near my heart So close to freedom Where all the doors are open And doves can fly To reach heavens But my inner asylum Suffocates me The air smells like tortured flesh Unbearable stillness Holding a calendar of sacrifice Over my shoulders Those nude seconds slip Into nowhere My fragile faith will only be awaken Up to the roosters first song Biz zum Hahnenschrei
First rhythm to the beat: Being honest Next guest of honour: Purpose Following the morning after: Self-awareness and courage Break for freedom: The musician strikes a cord And echoes the universe it's glorious Love song
the ministry of the dance is always Scripture based it's all about bringing the Holy Spirit into the place the ministry of the dance has a purpose that is two-fold of Godly deliverance and breaking demonic strongholds to deliver someone from the spiritual bondage of society and show with the power of the dance there's spiritual victory to break demonic strongholds with divine break through to show in dance what the joy of the Lord can do the ministry of the dance is a physical manifestation of love for Jesus the Christ, the Holy Spirit and Father God who dwells above to know that the tears which are cascading from our eyes was enough to touch a soul and move them to cry to know that the spiritual energy we emanate so much made someone feel that by the hand of God they've been touched the ministry of the dance is a physical portrayal of the Holy text and not based on one's age, gender, race nor sex a powerful ministry that is open to all of which by the Spirit one is called a ministry of faithful dedication, true devotion and total commitment with love for the Lord, trust in the Spirit and a Godly contentment the ministry of the dance is more that just a worship service it's a ministry of true faith with a specific purpose to dance with the Light of the Lord radiating through and the Spirit of the Lord filling up the church's pews the ministry of the dance is to give honor, glory and praise to Jesus who died on the cross and 3 days later was raised a ministry of divine inspiration a ministry of divine elevation to lift up someone and move them beyond their comfort zone to lift someone up and move them to kneel before the throne it's about the Holy Spirit taking complete control it's about sacred dancing in order to save some souls the ministry of the dance will forever be spirit-led it's a visual ministry serving of the Daily Bread it's not a ministry that is meant to entertain it's a ministry powered by the sacrificial blood stain the ministry of the dance is about spiritual victory that which Jesus died for to give to you and give me it's not a performance and it does not invite vainglory it's about being used an instrument in the outward expression of the Biblical story the ministry of the dance is a ministry of total sacrifice to submit your body, heart and soul into the hands of Jesus the Christ THE MINISTRY OF THE DANCE
When in a weakened state I fall You lift me to my feet It is not for other eyes to see When I cry at Your feet When I sob on the floor It is not for other eyes to see This time is so special This time for us alone It is not for other eyes to see When I'm gaining my most strength It comes when I am here It is not for other eyes to see So before You I sing praises And I dance as David danced For it is not for other eyes to see My heart is full of love My spirit soars high above All the adversity that there may be Truly my heart sings with joy As my feet dance for You For this is just for You and me When I praise You, Lord When I dance before You, Lord It is not for other eyes to see You make this our special time A time I hold so dear It is not for other eyes to see
I dance on illusion, getting caught up in the spin, the sad waltz, the happy waltz, the dance with foes, that "I" have made. Money makes me happy, or money makes me sin, it's a tune that never ends, following the painted footsteps on the floor, when I was young. Now I must spin faster, keeping very still and quiet as I go. No more footsteps, no more dance halls, no more enharmonic trances played for me, steady now in deep devotion, resting in the One Reality.
I watch the teary, misty rain as the torrents of wind move against the grey blackness Stroking my pet cat with her indistinct, blurry message that's always tuned into the joyful, sounding music of the universe My heart yearning for a better love life I think about the loves gone by Memories of all I loved coming back to me The undying love for my mother sick and frightened I exchange the calming, nurturing lilies in her garden Golden rhythms bring me peace within the softness of the morning hours brings an intense love and spirit of the giving season hopefully more of kindness and unconditional love than of material burdens and manipulations I feel happiness suddenly - seeing the blues in the greys that turn angelic white understanding the message of life Soothing and unexpected excitements dreams of success in all the fragments of being bringing together the whole, inspired miracle the magic and enchantment Letting go of the stress and going with the flowing light and love bringing peace to calamity of my soul and restoring it to everything beautiful
When I was born into this world I never knew about the Trinity as I grew into a little girl I found that His name is Holy as A teen I always wondered does the Lord think of me so I turned to the Holy Bible learned He has room there for me Jesus, when I grow older I will dance the step..to Your harmony Jesus, when I pass over will You save..the last dance for me Now that Im much wiser I can sure plainly see Jesus you gave me all Your love I hear what You are saying to me the world is aging and so am I Glorious is my King He is my foundation,my salvation He forever lives in me Jesus, as I grow older I will dance the steps..to Your harmony Jesus, when I pass over willYou save..the last dance for me Now that Im no longer I still dance to His harmony yes now,i have passed over Jesus saved that dance for me the train of His robe fills the temple how glorious it is to be with the Lord of Lords the King of Kings and He is dancing with me Jesus, as I grow older I will dance the steps..to Your harmony Jesus, when I pass over will You save... I hope You save... I pray You save...the last dance for me.

"You okay beautiful?" you ask softly as you gently run your hand through my hair. "Yeah baby, I'm fine," I say as I see people gather around and stare. We dance and we sway sweetly and quietly. We kiss and dance slowly. We kiss again and you start to sing along with the song. I've been waiting for this day, I've been waiting so long. We'r walking on the beach again. hand in hand. you still in your tux, I'm still in my dress. This is our future. Together. Forever. The setting sun catches my ring. It shines brightly. "I love you," I say and we kiss again. "I love you too," you say and gently pick me up. You carry me back up to the house. You carry me up sairs and lay me on our bed. You lay beside me and gently kiss my head. We lay there and talk for hours and hours. We smile and laughas our future stretches on in front of us.
We'll raise the flames of Beltane night, in song and dance we'll celebrate, espoused by fires in Pagan rite, our god and goddess incarnate. In song and dance we'll celebrate among the flames of love's desire our god and goddess incarnate, my promise made beside the fire. Among the flames of love's desire a heart and soul have been declared my promise made beside the fire, and now my life with you is shared. A heart and soul have been declared to you my love, my Queen of May and now my life with you is shared as we unite upon this day. To you my love, my Queen of May espoused by fires in Pagan rite as we unite upon this day, we'll raise the flames of Beltane night.
Help me to soar like an eagle, To shine like the sun moon and stars. Write a melody of angels, As I sing my praises plain; Grant me no shelter from the storm, As I learn to dance in the rain. Keep me dancing to your tune, As I love and follow you, 'Till the curtain's final call. I can take great big strides, 'Cause I know you're right beside, Ready to catch me when I fall. As I learn to dance, to dance in the rain

As night is falling Hear... calling As I go out... In the eve Dressed up in my evening gown As a Man comes... for me He is all dressed up in his blues As we go unto the ball Gone out on the town after all Dancing among the Stars Romance under the moon light Out dancing on town Dancing within the night lights Just until midnight For when the clock strikes Midnight.. Then I must leave Quickly… For I must go.. away That way no one knows Whom I am… Each week end Dancing tis so much fun Same ole thing Hard to believe Tis really... just a dream But.. I shall dance among the Stars Singing praises unto my king My Lord.. my savior whom died for me I shall rave.. and Dance for Jesus I shall raise my hands and swing I shall twirl about and dance As my long hair flys in air.. within the wind As I twirl around for Jesus again.. and again And Dance always for Jesus.. For He the Only One Then I shall.. dance.. the dance for Jesus Raising and Praising unto my king For everything.. His Glory Brings Praise's be to God... Always.. Come dance for Jesus Dance among the stars In Heavenly home Knowing now I shall never be alone… Praise always be To our everlasting king
Superfluously equating the reasons for "why not", And as the angels doth not romance, I shall not dance, An preposterously appropriate cheer dances with the wind, Because....... ......It understands the value of the humor.
A man that is smiling, I don't know, Is he perfect for me? May I ask him? Would you like to dance with me? A man that is watching my legs, I don't know, What's he thinking about me? May I ask him? Would you like to dance with me? A man that is offering me a drink, I don't know, What's he expecting from me? May he ask me? Would you like to dance with me? My heart is palpitating, My breaths are swallowed, I can't live without someone, May I ask him? Do you like to care for me?
While the Ancestors worshipped they shot them one and all. They thought they had stopped the dance as they watched the Old Ones fall. But what they did not know is that we do not die... Their bullets set us free and sent our souls to fly. High above this shadow plain where the spirit beasts do roam; We roost upon their sacred backs, and the Buffalo carry us home. We dance for our lives for the secrets of the Earth. We dance while they kill us and through death find rebirth. We dance night and day, to the drums thundering low. Singing medicine songs to honor the Buffalo. Though we may not rise today The People will not die; As long as we keep dancing, the Ghosts...You...and I. We dance for the things for which we yearn; Grass covered plains, the Buffalo's return. The fever of freedom forever will burn, While we're dancing with the ghosts. For there is no time frame on prophesy, This is the Vision Great One gave to me, The Heart of The People will always be, Dancing with the Ghosts... (Wado Waya Streeby for understanding.)
As he came... Bent down towards me He took me by the hand... Led me out to the dance floor.. As the music played... he held me close his heart beating next to mine warmth surrounded us... soft... melodies played I said... I am scared For I never done this before... He said.. no worrys.. I am here... my dear then he whispered into my ear Singing melodies of lyrics of song As the music played We swayed to the music as held me close unto him... his strong arms held me tight dancing on through the night.. gentle as he... guided me across the dance floor... Sweeetness music played More Beautiful then ever before... Precious moments... Then I woke up... Twas just a dream of many dreams.. But then again was it??? Tis be soon... As time shall be... When moment comes I shall dance the dance.. as He guides me Across the sky Then between the stars... To the other side.. Beyond... Glorious Love Eternity.. Sweeet Divine Precious moments.. Shall forever be... Music Plays.. Melodies unto our King Harmony of all souls Whom belong to Him Come... to Jesus Lets Dance the Dance of Glorious Love Together... Sweeetness of the Souls..
To find reason with the world To herald in a glimpse... to dance within my shadow... embracing the light within... To fear not by chance nor risk... ...to discover inner gifts... To revel in the joy, and laughter... To realise inner passion... ...with big emotion, wishes dance with hope and dreams... To trust... To share... The me in me...

It's been so long Since I saw the light I heard that song Once, when I was a child The melody of the martyrs You said. The dance of the dead. Now, I've been so far away The light has scarcely hit my eyes But I heard your voice today And I'm waiting For the heart in me to die Then I will dance eternity in your arms I will sing your name to the world In wonder I will succomb to your childlike charms You are my God And today, I am your child In the distance I see Stars lighting the dark Pointing the way to the King Your face captivates my mind (beat beat) My heart picks up the pace Your knocking, I'm coming Please, dont leave me to myself. I brought my brokenness And laid it at your feet Now I stand Beautiful In the midst of a broken world My heart is the drum But you are the beat You are the music playing over in my head And I am always yours Dancing the dance of the dead.
Walking on the soft sand, forming open arms Hovering towards the wind, wings able to fly Under the mighty rain, obliterating from the outer harm Seeking the Truth, I encountered humanity from my private- eye.
A wind blows softly caressing a field, Delicate, yielding waves of wheat Surrender to the direction the wind moves. With each passing breeze They move in grace and unity, This spectacular dance of nature. Illumination glistens from their heads What beauty shows in their harmony, As if a song is being sung. Not even the thistles standing tall & erect As if pride keeps them from bending, Disrupts the dance that fills the field. For in each passing breeze Is their calling to dance & sway, In humble obedience to the wind. The sun warms them, clouds shade them And nourishes them with gentle mists of rain, To reward them for their diligence.
All I need, Is the air, To make me grow, And dance around, Sometimes I shrink, To one tiny ember, Standing alone, But still leathal, Big and Tall, Firey monster, Just one touch, To strike you down, I can do What ever I want, Burn you down, Bring you up, Addictive to watch, I dance around, Nice to the eye, Bad to the touch, The ultimate bulldozer, That is I, Desroying anything, That lay in my path, I only have, One single enemy, A mutating blue blanket, If it lie in my way, This is I, Fiery as ever, But can you see, The beauty inside?
He who claims to know no fear of death Falls with the poisoned wine of lies Upon his lips; But he who may make this fear a friend Shall grasp Eternity in the end. His heart will open as his reason slips As he feels upon his final breath He dances as his spirit flies And in that Space Between the sea and sky He sees the Beloveds' face Eye to eye. Merge with the drops in the ocean of time, Drunk on communion with all things Divine. The Universe dances - how sweetly She sings! Through the manifest beauty in all living things The answer lies deep in the fruit of the vine, The lover finds love in the taste of his wine. The stars shine in blackness Whirling through infinite space Casting their light On the unbounded dark; We seek to stand firm, impressing our mark On our lives swift and bright Asking history to honor and to bless Our efforts in this threshing-floor race. We all are unbounded United yet free, The Beloved is with us If we could but see. Step in the river and lose yourself there Dance 'round the fire without any care. The stars do their spiral dance over our heads We have all we want once desire is shed. For this is the answer, so simple and true: You live within me as I live within you. To seek wealth and fame Is to sail upon sand; The thirst for possession Can never be quenched. Ambition's a prison, your heart is entrenched In small thoughts' concessions You lose sight of the game. Your freedom awaits you, just stretch forth your hand The Beloved will embrace you And win you to Truth; Then dance with you, smiling Eternal in youth. Aude Sapare Aude Sapare Aude Sapare Om....Om....Om...Om...Om
Tap, tap, tap You hear the rain, on your front step, You walk outside, You look to the sky, As the rain clouds let loose. Step fourth onto this rain-soaked ground, Playing on the new marble, Of our dance floor. The rhythm of our melody, Is played, By the sweet surrender, Of the leaves, To the soft whisper, Of the wind. The raindrops hitting the ground, Are like, Little elves, Dancing at your feet. As your dance comes to a halt, The wind whispers, One last time, It's soft, sweet melody. Lifting the leaves, From their perch high above, In the moonlit trees, Carrying them to where, Your feet touch the ground. Your last stand begins, As they swirl around, Embracing a new destiny.
If once more i could have the chance To see your smile embraced in dance Feel your lips touching mine A dance binding all in twine But i can only dream of this A lonely dance without its kiss To have the chance to hold your hand Walk the beach in its path of sand To see you laughing as we walk To hear your sweet voice as we talk But i can only dream of this For my path is that of bliss If i could only have one more chance with you I would believe that dreams do come true Never again embraced in this lonely dance If only i had just one more chance But we both know i can only dream of this You passed away now its you i miss
Come dance in Springtide's earthy light In gardens now a-washed with gold They bid farewell to Winter's bite Those radiant ladies I am told. As life is found in ancient ways Come dance in Springtide's earthy light To welcome signs of warmer days When length of day equals the night. Balance in life is my sweet delight When knelt in praise to holy queen Come dance in Springtide's earthy light She says to me in voice serene. So drummer, give my feet a beat May your rhythm still lead me right To the place where the spirits meet To dance in Springtide's earthy light.
To friends that dance in darkest night They raise the power of witches' spell As voices chant in candle light In ways of wise they know so well. In harmony their music sings To friends that dance in darkest night Releasing love on angels' wings Two sisters sharing magic rite. The Lady fair comes into sight And claims the old ways survive To friends that dance in darkest night In arcane blue their workings strive. Within the circle they are bound Two sisters soon to take their flight Across the sky the cosmic sound To friends that dance in darkest night
Now I feel alive, you make me feel so alive. I wish you could step inside of my heart. You would see how much I love you. You would feel how much you drive me crazy. Your lips they kiss me,make me feel drunk. Your eyes they mesmerize me. The way your hips move,they dance a dance and fly away. On a cloud we make love so sweet and I lose myself inside of you. I would die without your touch. Now I dream,rivers softly carry my thoughts. Running through the tree tops. Of clouds and flowers and morning mist Of peaceful slumber, a warm soft kiss. Dance for me my love, my mate, my true empress. Command me your will. I will cover your eyes in the darkness Never let you see the harsh night that lies outside. Dance for me, our love it ties me to the the stars. Your kiss is bliss I would die without your touch.
Fathers, I dance for you. Mother - you gave me breath, Now I return my blood to your care. Children - I dream a hope for you. I ask the sun for Vision, For sight into realms no eye may view, To find an answer, to find escape The pain it costs is nothing To the pain already in my heart Now that I see what these strangers will do if they can To my people, To the land that shares their souls. One hundred pieces of my flesh Is not too much to give For wisdom, for sight of better worlds than this. I give them for the hope that they may buy. The knife is cold. I set the tethers in my skin - The dance begins. Bring me Vision, O Sun! Bring us Life, before they come, Death riding on their Iron Horse. Shine warm, shine strong One last time for us, Before the coming eclipse.
Take a long look throught the looking glass see how the land you have known has changed Shadows which blocked the sunlight are now blown by the west wind Warmth returns to the land, to the fields,the forests, the towns Yet the bitter winds have left their mark on all of us Can spring revive us? Will the shoots that rise up through the verdant earth renew us? Creatures of nature that we are We need to know that once again beautous flowers - a riot of glorious colors Will grace our fields, forests and towns! After the harshest winter spring always returns to dance her dance before our delighted eyes
Go rest in Heaven, Go sleep in peace, Go dance on the other side. Go celebrate the battle won Of crossing Jordan's wide. Go live with Jesus, Go be with Him, Go rest with God above. Tell my family all gone before, Please tell them of my love. Go join the angel choir and band Just save me a seat beside you We can walk together in that fair land And see Jesus and worship Him, too. Now you're in Heaven, So sleep in peace, And dance on Glory's side. Celebrate the battle won, Of crossing Jordan's tide.
A song leaps from my heart at the beginning of each new day, A song with a melody that never plays a sad song, Never carries a tune that is wrong, this is just my way… If I have the choice of sitting this one out, I will choose to dance! If there is breath of life there is always hope of life, Love and great things to experience and know! It is so important if there is love of the heart, to let it show! Some live a life that never knows real sorrow, Some face sorrow more than it seems they should. Some we say, have more than their share, But still face it as much as they could. If you have a choice dance, dance, dance! Even in the face of sorrow, I don't want to sit this one out, Even in the face of tears, I don't want to sit this one out, I want to choose to dance! I hope with all my heart, that no matter come what may, That you will always choose to dance! Dance of the heart, dance of the soul, Dance with all your might, dance with courage, never letting go. Choose To Dance!

Overview of US Prostate Cancer Trends in the Era of PSA Screening
- Ruth Etzioni MD,
- Roman Gulati MS,
- Angela Mariotto PHD
- … show all 3 hide
Prostate cancer rates in the United States have changed radically over the last two decades. The introduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening impacted incidence substantially; however, in the absence of randomized clinical trials, its role in the precipitous mortality decline remains unclear. Simultaneous advances in treatment, shifting patterns of care, and changing health behaviors may also have contributed to this decline.

Official Results In: Malloy Took City By 18K
by Melissa Bailey | Nov 4, 2010 6:16 am

Posted to: Politics, Campaign 2010
(Originally published 5 p.m. Wednesday.) Twenty hours after the polls closed, the city's registrar of voters released election results showing Democrat Dan Malloy blowing his Republican opponent out of the water by 18,613 votes in New Haven.
Malloy beat Tom Foley by 22,298 to 3,685 votes, a ratio of 6 to 1 in New Haven, counting absentee ballots.
That's a far bigger margin than the 16,589 to 8,274 vote by which New Haven's own Mayor John DeStefano prevailed in town when he ran for governor in 2006. DeStefano beat Gov. M. Jodi Rell by only 8,315 votes that year.
After a series of mishaps and slow counting, New Haven was one of the last towns in the state to report its results. The results were released shortly after 4 p.m.—as Democrat Malloy was on statewide TV already announcing his transition team. The secretary of the state had declared him the "unofficial" victor; she couldn't make a sounder declaration because New Haven and Bridgeport, among others, couldn't give her official numbers.
Click here to read the ward-by-ward results. Note that some Malloy votes occur in the Working Families column, or a column marked "unknown," which means that the voter marked down Malloy in both the "Working Families" and "Democrat" row. (So you have to add up numbers in three columns.)
Ward 25 in Westville had the highest turnout, 64 percent. Note that in some places, the ward vote tallies don't exactly reflect voters in that ward: For example, Ward 3 residents were sent to three different polling places Tuesday, meaning their votes were counted under other wards' totals.
Turnout this year fell short of turnout in 2006, when local candidates DeStefano and U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman were on the ballot.
New Haven's voter turnout in 2006 was 48 percent.
This year, 43 percent of New Haven voters turned out to the polls. However there were more voters this year than in 2006, because of the flood of new registrations coinciding with Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Around 1,000 more people voted Tuesday than in 2006.
Tuesday's turnout didn't reach the burst of voter enthusiasm in 2008, when cities boosted the nation's first black president into office. That year, 67 percent of voters cast ballots. But the number of voters was high for a mid-term election in the modern era.
With only two-thirds of the number of voters as 2008, the city still encountered significant problems handling crowds and counting votes.
In East Rock, where Wards 9 and 10 were combined at the Wilbur Cross High School, some voters left the polls without voting because of long lines.
In Newhallville, election officials had to hand-feed 734 paper ballots from Ward 21 into a new counter. The machine malfunctioned at the polls.
As late as 1 p.m. Wednesday, the Registrar of Voters Office was still hand-counting ballots that had write-in candidates on them.
New Haven was one of the last towns in the state to report its results.
A person familiar with the process suggested it could be sped up by having more help. The vote-counting is done by members of the voting registrar's office, in their 60s and 70s, who start working at 4 or 5 a.m. They answer phones all day from frantic people trying to vote. Around 10 p.m., they sit down to tabulate the votes. That means tossing out absentee ballots of people who later voted at the polls, counting the absentee ballots, and putting all the final figures onto a grid. By midnight, staff are exhausted. The person suggested the city hire a team of younger folks to start work at 10 p.m. counting the votes.
"This is the 21st century," the observer remarked: the city shouldn't have to wait until late Wednesday to find out how New Haveners cast their votes.
In another surprise for Malloy Tuesday, in the East Shore's Ward 18, Malloy beat Foley 807-543 on the machines. That's the neighborhood where Mayor John DeStefano grew up—a ward he lost in his 2006 gubernatorial campaign. Gov. M. Jodi Rell (an incumbent who was far more popular than Foley) beat DeStefano by 826 to 639 votes that year.

After a generation of Republican leadership Dan Malloy will be a welcome change and a great Governor for the cities of Connecticut.
Great work yesterday across all neighborhoods in New Haven with big turnout. New England citizens clearly bucked the national trend and took action against what was happening across our country with GOP wins in so many Congressional seats.
Special recognition and thanks to all the work from Chuck Swirsky, Vinny Mauro, Nick Baletto, Susan Voigt and Gwen Mills. Once again New Haven makes the difference in statewide politics and elections.

"Malloy Mauls Foley" Great and creative title. There are just too many smart people in New Haven to be taken in by nonsense that passes for GOP rhetoric. Funny how on the national level, most of the higher-profile races left Republican and Tea Party candidates' carcasses rotting in the hot sun of defeat. Overall, the GOP did have a good day in winning back the House, now it remains to be seen what plans they have to move the country forward other than just saying "no" or repealing the progress made-an extension of saying no to everything.

To Nick Balletto>well done! Sean, you are really really stretching it about Susie Voigt. Also, at least you had the guts to work somewhat openly for Malloy while your boss was throwing tantrums over the whole situation from the get go! He is not going to be happy with you no matter what you think right now. His scorn will catch up with you when you least expect it. Good luck Sean! This should be a good learning experience for you. When you have to leave, do it with no regrets. Always do the right thing and sleep at night will come much easier. I believe you are an ok guy, but just are too caught up in the DeStefano push. He won't be around much longer, that most know.
posted by: Hmmmm on November 3, 2010 8:35pm
Correction: I do not think Suzie Voigt or much of the Town Committee had a part in this victory. The Headquarters was usually inhabited by Chuck Swirsky, Vinny Mauro, Nick Baletto, Gwen Mills and Paul Nunez with a few State Reps and Senators in and out, notably Senators Harp and Looney and Reps Holder-Winfield and Walker. And, of course the coordinators for the Blumenthal and Malloy campaigns were there, April and Lisa. That is the truth of the matter. That could be a serious team in New Haven.

"That's a far bigger margin than the 16,589 to 8,274 vote by which New Haven's own Mayor John DeStefano prevailed in town when he ran for governor in 2006."
Rell also ended up winning that election by a statewide margin of 63% to 35%. This one looks like it's going to be within a point or less. If you adjust the Rell/DeStefano numbers by 15% in each direction you get 20,300 and 4,500—only a 15,800 vote difference. And that's setting aside the fact that DeStefano was the mayor and was running in a landslide Democratic year, whereas 2010 is just the opposite.
It's also interesting that New Haven is one of only two towns in CT-3 which cast more votes for Rosa DeLauro than in 2006—and it was substantially more (3,000). The other, East Haven, only gained her 186 while her totals in all 23 other towns declined. Presumably the 2008 registration drives are carrying over in a big way in New Haven.

the AP figures on courant.com has the HVN figures totally wrong, assuming these here are correct - may explain why the AP rescinded their call for Malloy…

Mr. Matteson, I would say that I'm shocked that you didn't give the Black and Hispanic Communities any credit at all for turning out to vote. But I'm not. Your sole recognition of these individuals (Chuck Swirsky, Vinny Mauro, Gwen Mills, Susan Voigt and Nick Balletto) suggest that the Black and Hispanic Community comprise of a bunch of robots or sheep that are in need of these shepherds in order to get them to vote.
However, now that you mentioned these individuals, I do find it rather interesting that the bulk of the vote in NH come from both the Black and Hispanic Community and yet, the individuals that are running things look quite different. Hmmmm!

As a documented Malloy supporter (recall the Ned bashing!!) with a handshake,I relish the day when I get to void the wasteful contract between the City of New Haven and SCF.
Assurances made are "gold" in the new deal.
I LOVE New Haven !!!!
posted by: Blame the King on November 3, 2010 11:27pm
I hope Governor Malloy appreciates the overwhelming support New Haven threw him and I hope he will return the favor but my fear is the King will come between his constituents best interests and working with Hartford.
I watched both Malloy & DeStefano on the Seawall Park on Saturday for the toxic dumping press conference. It was obvious they wanted nothing to do with each other -the king had this painful smirk on the whole time Malloy spoke. I pray that is not the relationship with are doomed to. I hope the king can get something accomplished with a Democratic Governor, but I doubt it.
Malloy got more votes yesterday than the king got in his last mayoral election and his Governors election -COMBINED.
A candidate with any viability at all is a shoe in in 2011. So the big question is: Who will it be in 2011?
posted by: Rep.Pat. Dillon on November 4, 2010 8:36am
Thanks to those - mostly volunteers and mostly, but not all, women - who called from their own homes to arrange rides days ahead of the election, dispatched rides from the 92nd headquarters on Alden Ave election day, and collected machine totals so we could monitor turnout ward by ward. We then texted those machine totals to the Whalley Ave command.
This was done on a shoestring with enthusiastic workers. And thanks to the boots on the ground in West River mentioned in the article.
JFK said victory has many fathers. This victory has many fathers, and many mothers.

1) Blame the King is dead on—the King has got to go. However, the village ... have proven they have neither the backbone nor the sense to throw [him] out.
2) It is a travesty that vote totals are more than 36 hours late. When will we get rid of the two inept registrars???
