i don't quite see what you're trying to do here.
it's doing what you're asking - but that's a no-op,
because N includes an embedded newline.
you can do: sed -e '/]/N' -e 's/\n//'
if you want to join the lines.
or something like this:
sed ':x
/]$/{
N
s/\n/ /
t x
}'
if you want it to work for more than two consecutive
lines.
