Tanks for the responses
My confusion came from a **** online thesaurus that says:

spar·kle (spärkl)
v. spar·kled, spar·kling, spar·kles
v.intr.
1. To give off sparks.
2. To give off or reflect flashes of light; glitter. See Synonyms at flash

Later I've done a search through the Oxford thesaurus and it gave the correct definition:

sparkle
• verb 1 shine brightly with flashes of light. 2 be vivacious and witty. 3 (sparkling) (of drink) effervescent.
• noun 1 a glittering flash of light. 2 vivacity and wit.

Thank you fellow tankers
