You stand so gracefully near the checkout. I see you you see me, and we share a very real smile. We make small talk. I try to prick your interest with pointless things. You widen your eyes and ask me questions. such vivid laughter and witty comebacks. sparks in your eyes ignite the kerosene. _______________________________________ Not the best I've ever written, but it's as real as they get. -P Everyone deserves to be loved, even you.

"We make small talk. I try to prick your interest with pointless things." Loved this verse also. Pointless things sometimes pack the most punch in a conversatioin, if you ask me. Then again, I am the queen of pointless. Enjoyed. |

My dear Kaoru... Thank you, mademoiselle. I happen to agree, but we'll see how all this pans out. Thanks for the read. If I ever run into you, sounds like I'll be on par for smooth-talking you into getting a drink.  Everyone deserves to be loved, even you. |

I have moments like those at the drive through espresso stands - nothing like meeting eyes with an interesting man before sun rise. Thanks for bringing the thought to mind. A |

This was very lovely, to begin with the title! When there are sparks like those you describe, normal conversation is impossible, because of the emotions ... nonsense is thus a sign of "deeper sense". Love, Margherita |
