I am a Man of Extremes

I am a man of extremes,
I don’t understand things in between, mediocrity never suits my way,
nor can I be confined to one place

I don’t love anything in pieces,
nor do I hide my emotions in a shroud,
my eyes speak my heart with a scream,
for I am a man of extremes

And when I embrace any soul,
I don’t do it with preconceived notions,
I love without boundaries,
for I am a man of extremes

And if I decide to shed away
no reminiscence linger
to trail any shadow of mine
I don’t believe in residual regrets,
for I am a man of extremes

  1. Shantanu, this piece is beautiful and expressive. I am growing, hopefully, to the point where ‘I love without boundaries’. The thought of it is sobering though.

  2. This is one of the honest pieces I have read from you. It’s not a piece of fiction and to self -portray yourself with so much grace and honesty is an art in itself. Shantanu, you are a man of extremes from what little I know about you and you love without boundaries, that it for sure.

  3. If this is the definition of extreme, then I am a woman of extreme.
    You have brought out my feelings into your words, and I read it again and again only to be mesmerised by your words.
    I loved it so much.

  4. What a beautiful piece of writing, your words are always true depiction of emotions as you are a man of extremes and somehow i can always relate myself in your words, due to which i found them very captivating

  5. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad you could relate to what I write. That is the best compliment I could ever get. Thanks for reading 🌸

  6. And when I embrace any soul,
    I don’t do it with preconceived notions,
    I love without boundaries,
    for I am a man of extremes

    👌👌👌💕
