How lovely to spend time
On a hillock overlooking the bay!
The ruddy sun just warms enough,
So I’ll enjoy my perfect day.

The sea is not perfectly calm.
Waves roll towards the beach,
What are they whispering to the sand?
What thoughts I wish I could reach?

There on the other side of the lake shore,
I spy a fascinating pristine vale
White beeches cover most of the land,
Except for a cottage that stands in the dale.

It is the place I want  to go
So I take a leisurely walk 
Ignoring the restless harbour bars 
Avoiding friends who would want to talk.

The air is fresh in the awesome vale,
I watch a hawk attack a sparrow,
But my mind is on the cottage,
As I wend my way though it is narrow.

She must have sensed I was so near,
As she comes out and there we kiss.
I hear the dulcet sounds of mellow tunes
Euphoria reaches its peak, my mind in a mist.

Inside the cottage lavender perfumed,
She brings me the delicacy of an ambrosial repast.
Satiated we rest on a soft sofa 
My dearest love reaches its peak at last.

Your poem sounded excellent, Victor. A perfect blend of images and metaphor makes the reader journey from beginning to end. Happily-ending, just as you've come to expect. This is to my fave.

A lovely walk. We wonder why you pass those friends who’d want to talk, but aha, it is the love you seek…the lavender perfume and ambrosial repast! Lovely!
