Double Acrostic

Unwavering devotioN
Never to undO
Completed rhythM
Obtainable areA
Never out of hearT
Deepest type of trusT
Immeasurable timE
Timeless dooR
I shall shadoW
Open ended trutH
No need to pleA
Always in thoughT
Lifetime storY
Lighting the way to gO
Open heart for yoU
Vastness to beholD
Everlasting toO

I really loved this.  I am a fan of the acrostic style and coincidently, just posted an acrostic here myself today.  Never tried a double acrostic though.

Very, very nice.

First time I read this i didn't catch on to what you were trying to do.  Now I do.  Cool!
Difficult form, done well.
I especially like
"Timeless door" & "Vastness to behold"

You are aptly named-- this is very slick
