| BARBADOS I WANNA STAYA story by DENNIS YOUNG
 PART 1
 
 
 From the clear-blue water   i  gazed  over  the lazy sea , calm  and
 
 inviting   in its  pre-tense...i stood there transfixed  with the beauty
 
 of this eye-land / drink  cononut water and watching  children
 
 run/fun/play  in the cool   of the evening...          It was getting
 
 late. the sunset had form its  splendor  over me and i could not move
 
 ..the surf of the sea licked at my feet as  i was transported towards
 
 the sky....wetting  me in anticipation .".oh beauty  behold.   find me
 
 as i  be...awashed  in sentiment surrounded  by him.".the   swagger of
 
 his walk ..the sand meshing between his toes    his eyes met mine ,
 
 softening  my heart .I turned  away..and heard  him whistling  a song..
 
 a calypso song...i  questioned him  about the song , as i  had heard it
 
 earlier on my radio...it was called  Emmerton  and its realaxed   melody
 
 shaped my day..my mood  and my very existence...he asked me if i knew
 
 how to rub-a-dub..someone had taught him this  dance   in England..and
 
 he loved it.
 
 .So the date was on..De Warehouse..8pm....and as he left , his swagger
 
 stayed  with me  for the  rest of day.....
