Love & Longing — Immersive & Present-Tense

And I see you against the backdrop of a sea of smoke

And I see you against the backdrop of a sea of smoke Your fingers catching pieces of light from around my crown Your mouth an invitation into a foreign land Where the fruit is always dripping with promise And the nectar of your tongue Is thick with all the unspoken futures That hang around our temples Like unbroken stars Like life A second At A Time.
