New Waves of Intellect and Heart

Twilight comes without incident
Open to new waves of intellect
I produce a realm of understanding
Beyond the concept of easy thoughts
She escapes me, and never finds 
Her way back into my disapproved
Meandering mind of falsehood
Whenever she reaps, I didn’t sow 
Those words, so she comes up
With these things on her own, delving
Deep into my soul she creeps along
Finding whatever she could use to hurt
And exploit, but never will it consume
Me, in any way, shape, or form
Will she conquer my new wave
Form of thoughts, belonging to only
One in this realm of understanding…

Now, this is someone that cares, pleases
And harbors hope, beyond the delightful
Words eloquently portrayed upon her
Own heart, that I have sown, she does
Harbor within herself, and newly 
Discovered intelligence becomes truth
Because of the reality of the situation
And she produces whatever I can muster
Up to believe in, and she becomes
That which I understand, and desire
Upon, she never leaves me yearning
By the wondrous world of grace and freedom
We believe in the waves of our hearts
