{"product_id":"9780692318850","title":"Soulmate","description":"\"The tragedy of human existence is Fate.\" So says novelist and poet Jonathan Lovejoy, as his thoughts open this small collection of grief and longing. Written near the end of a tumultuous 24 year marriage, these simple rhyming poems are a reflection of a love that was greatly longed for, but would remain a hopeless heart's desire. \u003cp\u003eThe poems appear to echo an inner sense of missed opportunity, and the tragic passing by of a soulmate that the author met in a university hall-a chance meeting by mutual eye contact and a pricking of the heart over 20 years before, several months before he married his wife-having passed this mysterious young woman by many times over a lonely, winter landscape of a southern college campus, but resisting the urge to speak to her, unable to traverse the barrier of his own natural shyness, loneliness and isolation. Born from a lifetime of regret for what might have been, these simple exercises in rhythm and rhyme may appeal to any heart that longs for the paradise of tranquility with a loved one, and the life of love and humility they know they missed with the one who got away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Armageddon Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50088980938992,"sku":"9780692318850","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692318850","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
