Mirror Acrostics

The contest conditions are simple for this one, any word can be chosen for use in an acrostic poem BUT the word HAS to be spelt at both the beginning and the end of the lines.

Here is an example of what the two judges are looking for.

Entwine all night, here with mE
Now till the morning rays of suN
Together we are, never to parT
Wondering, what will happen noW
Intimacy is the name, of our alibI
Nocturnal acts after lights dim dowN
Entwined forever, till the sun risE


No sticky caps please.

Thankyou for having a look at the contest and hope to read some interesting pieces.
