Sleepless from MaD aDaM by MaD aDaM
A friend once told me a story about two friends of hers. They were a newlywed couple and were honeymooning at the bride's parental home. After four days she approached her mum asking that her husband be given a separate room. The mother was concerned that something had gone wrong between them, but her daughter assured her it was only because neither of them had slept more than a few hours since their arrival. They kept finding something better to do.

Lyrics
Our weariness still whispers yes
As in our bed pleasingly spread
With sighing silk we press
‘Though night now flows toward its close
Our senses wake and for their sake
The scented candle glows
Oh gods it’s beautiful!
Life’s purpose may be felt
With gliding fingertips
In hands its hallowed warmth be held
Or drawn within to find
The awed and gasping innocence
Of Nature’s reverent minds
The hours we keep in our deep
Enchantment give us leave to live
Outside the need for sleep
Your languid touch awakens such
A lively thrill; it seems to fill
My own fatigue too much
Oh gods it’s wonderful!
And you’re so meshed with me
Our motion makes an incandescent
Open mouthed unity
In this ecstasy bliss
Promises to keep this
Night perfectly sleepless
