Oh beauty of the darkened sleepless night
Who lays before me, save thy rested soul
Thee art my rose that gave the gallant fight
And from thy lips my thirst again is whole.

Upon me falls the rain of mercy's shawl
Implore thy will, conspired night winds call
Immerse me in thy deep and thickened dreams

From honey does the vine become most sweet
That suckling lips might bring forth dreams anew
As slumber goads the stallion's hooves most fleet
Into the breach of midnight's rendezvous.

Then taste to drink the sweet of midnight hour
Upon my tongue your vibrant essence shower
For night, requites the thirst of favored streams

And when the wed of one is then at peace
Within the pool where wanted thoughts decry,
Entwined our hands shall clasp and not release
As dreams return and carpets flit and fly.

And night as dreams extend the furthest sighs
Upon the pale of moonlight kissed my eyes
Then this, thy very breath consumes the beams

For all we are becomes the drink of dreams

This poem deserves a hearty applause to both of you.

Excellent flow with dreamy imagery and also what I would interpret as being a most delightful collaboration of poetic talent.

Great job.
