Many were written while I chased the illusive mistress on submarine patrol duty, and others in my expanding search from the Tropical Pacific to deep in the Arctic Ice Pack. The interludes are there, of course; and my former wife and son would tell you they aren’t enough.

Even now, I watch the sun setting behind St. Augus­tine Volcano in Northern Gulf of Alaska, and the melan­choly music is as real now as it was when I wrote that poem as a young man in 1960.

Join me then. Share with me my loves, dreams, search, pain and—yes—my resignation. Not from life, but rather to the inevitable process of life which ultimately forces each one of us to reevaluate, to look again.

I’ve spied her icy cap and tamed her nether pole...alone. With help I plumbed her deeps, crawled her bowels, and scaled her heights...alone. I’ve fought and won and lost and killed and almost died.

The signs tell fair seas, But while she looked the other way I reached beneath her skirt today And stole some nectar. She knows and waits; I feel her passing shudder, But tonight she’s nearly calm.

I know where I’m at And it’s clear as that. The moon’s nearly full On this dark night, But clouds completely Diffuse its light. I wonder, is that Also where I’m at? Robert G.

A child cries with anger and frustration, when scraped and bruised, A boy when his dog dies, A young man when sweet love lies in his spent embrace, and when she leaves. I’m angry and frustrated, I cut my finger yesterday, My cat died and I lost both dogs, And love’s bloom has...</description></item></rdf:RDF>
