The namelessly wonderful date

Random searches,
a chance email sent.
Quick repsonses,
thats how it all began.

First date,
both safely clad in black.
Dressed up,
an intrinsic need to impress.

Fancy dining,
"but no wine tonight".
Slow stroll,
"have you been on a bumboat"?

Salt-scented air,
the lingering stench of petrol.
Flying hair,
"the moon is made of cheese".

Special arrangements,
to pander a 'chai-ish' whim.
Proffered hand,
for support up wet stairs.

Warm drinks,
life, politics, jokes and love.
Laughter and chatter,
a carefree evening.

Taxi queues,
sharing a cab ride.
Sweet ending,
to a pretty perfectg evening.

Myraid Smses,
a lingering conversation.
Wide spanning,
'cabbages, kings and sealing wax'.

Complete strangers,
similar backgrounds and ideas.
Wildly different,
yet on the same wavelength...

... For now.
