Love Poem: Searching For a Wise Daisy

Searching For a Wise Daisy

I waded through a field of
she loves me she loves me knots
Needing to tie her bow to my happiness
I searched vigorously
Until I found that one wise daisy
For I knew she was my forever

My heart was incapable of
being with anyone else
I planned out the path
To the aisle of our bliss
For she was and is 
everything that matters
That smile that breathes life into my days
I feel comfort and excitement in her arms

When I found her
I had no need to look further 
I left the searching to the undecided
The fickle fools
Looking for their Jennie in a bottle
With a glass held in a hand
What's your sign
Clever pickup lines
Thinking them prettier
With each sip of wine

I preferred a softer approach 
Not particularly smooth
or debonaire
Yet she too 
miraculously was drawn to me
Somehow able to see
The spark within the blue
of my adoring eyes
Pupils dilated 
Increasing double in size

Twenty two years
Ten thousand kisses
This is
My witness
My sweetie 
is the perfect Mrs.
No field 
Of Daisies
Will ever make
This mind hazy
For I know
With all my heart
She Loves Me
So thankful
We tied the knot!
