An excerpt from Intangible Boundaries

Like an angel from the heavens
her spirit follows my path
I can feel her around me
carefully watching


Looking to see if I'm sincere
can I be all that others believe
she listens to every word
wondering if I'm for real


I can smell her sweetness
like a bed of roses
she's beautifully filled with love
and constantly on my mind ...


In Intangible Boundaries, an emotionally moving collection of poetry, Todd McManus captures the essence of life, love, and social issues with a whimsical and lyrical style. In his first book of poetry, McManus details the pain of unrequited love and his unique journey through life, revealing the raw emotions that often accompany such relatable experiences. But McManus does not shy away from controversial issues as he includes other poems that record his feelings about racial inequalities, reincarnation, and a materialistic society. McManus' poetry proves that love comes in many forms, but more often with Intangible Boundaries.
