This collection expresses my own experiences with Love, which most of us know is a hard beast to clearly articulate. If you feel moved after reading my poems, then I have done my job. Loss and Desire often nip at the heels of the romantic Love we experience, and in some cases, (mine included) keep us attached to the real thing. I hope my work brings to light a perspective regarding these emotions you as the reader may not have noticed before. Whether that perspective is someone who cares for you or simply makes your own feelings more understandable to someone else, I hope you find something you can relate to within these pages. Enjoy!
This book of poems is a work of a passion of self-expression. I do not pretend to be perfect of understand all the wisdom of the world. I want to share the joy I have experienced through falling in love and losing love throughout my life with this book. I am a hopeless romantic, not just in the way I see those I love but in the way I see the world. I have been told I believe in fairy tales and that my heads in the clouds. Though I have faced alot of obstacles, I seem to always find my way back to the sky. In reading these poems I hope that my readers can experience the emotions I put into my poems and the love I want to share with the world. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy this book.

For too long “living” a somnambulant existence the poet is “slowly awakened by feelings long forgotten, now love's insomniac.” From love's hopeful anticipation through longing and loss to some semblance of acceptance, these poems draw inspiration from such poets as Emily Dickinson and e. e. cummings, as well as singer/songwriters like Melanie and Adele, with a pinch of religious imagery and a dash of Shakespeare. 49 poems. 19 more or less free verse, 17 whose stanzas are haiku structured and 13 villanelles. Some simple, direct. Some complex, highly structured, symbolic. All straight from the heart.
"Essential Spirituality beautifully articulates the benefits of spiritual living in the material world."-Dan Millman, author, Everyday Enlightenment and The Way of the Peaceful Warrior "Deceptively simple. Its power is rooted not only in Dr. Walsh's formidable intellectual capacity to deal effectively with a vast body of religious literature but in his own deep spiritual practices in a multitude of disciplines over many years. An important contribution."-Ram Dass, author, Be Here Now "An absolute masterpiece . . . Essential Spirituality is helpful to both the unseasoned and seasoned seeker. The writing is deep, simple, and clear yet at the same time poetic and musical. A must read."-GERALD G. JAMPOLSKY, M.D. author, Love Is Letting Go of Fear "Energetic, engaged, and occasionally electrifying. . . . The field of spiritual books has been looking for its own Lewis Thomas or Carl Sagan, and I believe Roger Walsh may be that one."-KEN WILBER, author, One Taste and A Brief History of Everything Based on over twenty years of research and spiritual practice, this is a groundbreaking and life-changing book. In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us. Filled with stories, exercises, meditations, myths, prayers, and practical advice, Essential Spirituality shows how you can integrate these seven principles into one truly rewarding way of life in which kindness, love, joy, peace, vision, wisdom, and generosity become an ever-growing part of everything you do.
Do you believe in love? Have you ever fallen in love? Are you trying to find the strength to believe in love again? Or have you abandoned all hope? They say there's no love if there's no pain, yet sometimes we find ourselves hurt beyond what we expected. And sometimes, it's the fear of getting hurt that stops us from falling in love entirely.
