Stuck in Present Tense

Past tense spoke it was you because it knew 
future tense will say surely you until
daylight disappears into the sunset,
where melodies of starlit angels flew
with every note of joy from Poet’s quill,
forever two in heaven’s own duet.

Present tense says we are in a struggle 
to find that which makes the two of us trill
in harmonic peace with celestial view,
perhaps with freedom from mortal trouble,
but real life needs working through .
