Team of Two
Short and Sweet Challenge Entry.
It's you
You and me
It's me
Me and you
You - with you I know love
Love - the who
Who I love - you
You - the why
Why It's you I love
Love your mind
Mind and that you are kind
Kind and care
Care and stay
Stay here and want to work
Work on us
Us, who we are, who we want to be, the bad...the good
Good - I will try
Try to make it good
Good - I know it's what I want
Want - When I look and see you
You - when you are sat at my side
Side by side - you and me
Me and you - have faced so much
Much has been bad - much has been good
Good and bad - on this road
Road we are on as a team
Team of two
Two that will stay true
True and in love.

Thanks for reading!
This, evidently is for the Short and Sweet Challenge. I realise most of my other entries have not been about love between two people - apart from this one.

You gotta give this form a name. Because only if you do that, I can call you the King of this form like how I call you the King of Acrostics! I loved this poem very much!
Aww, that’s what I was waiting to see… a love poem from you for this challenge. Yours is real. It’s grounded. It’s not the fantasy most people are chasing when they’re left disappointed and alone. I knew you’d write about true love, because you always tell the truth.
I entered this one as well! This is what I wrote! https://vocal.media/poets/tom-v71hi04w4 It took me the better part of a whole afternoon, right into the evening to be happy with this piece before I finally submitted it, just a few days before the deadline! It was draining for me, as there was a serious personal value in it for me as the writer, though I may not literally be all the characters of my work there is of course a large part of me that goes into every single one I create the work I write. And of course all the love stuff is the deepest, strongest and hardest ones, as we know the good stuff is always some form of confession from within, maybe from some distant time in ones life a memory where something was not dealt with right? Or worse something that is still fresh and still stings to think about but we know needs to be aired! I literally took the next day off of writing and work, I went out to see a Movie with my Mother (as I`m visiting her) and shopping at Costco and took a nice long walk! And today I am at the library back at her! I have 2 more pieces to post here on Vocal today! So I`d better get to work! LOL Have a Great wknd and good luck with the contest! :D
Should I echo Dana's thoughts in my own? Nicely done.
I love this! Such a perfect description of the work that goes into a lasting love! You are awesome at the repeating word poetry! It really makes an impact.
Well, now, I have to repeat myself. I'm so glad you and Ruth are both creating on this platform. Well said, my friend!
