Getting soaked to the skin,
But so sere is the desert inside
No rain touches my parched throat
No words emerge
To speak, to shout, to let anyone know
If it burns me up, if I'm so hollow
Vibrating in tune to the falling hail -
Hard, so cold, and yet
Softer, warmer than the desert in me
Sparks in the sky, the ceaseless rumble
Can't light up the harsh darkness,
Can't drown out the empty noise
Can't hide with those dark clouds
My empty hand
Reaching out to the empty air
Reaching nowhere.

but its ok, you know..sometimes you don't want to be reached. the solitude of it is important, its your moment, even if you can't share it, its still good.
Hard, so cold, and yet
Softer, warmer than the desert in me

loneliness is the pinnacle.

@raghu.. loneliness can be the pinnacle, but if you're living in an upside-down world, it can be teh pits just as easily
loved the poem!
oh no..i dint mean it.. loneliness is a touchy subject..i dont think i can quite figure it out nw..i hav ques 4 it.. but i cant find ans nw.. twas jus a qoute off ayn rand!
i read in another book.. sayin the ssential diff btwn bein alone n lonely is not likin urself.ur lonely if u dont like urself.. nw dat can hardly b a good thing.
raghu... dekh, i have issues with ayn rand, though i absolutely loved the one book of hers that i read...
as for the diff between being lonely and being alone.. i think its a positive difference...
suppose you are sitting on a rock at sunset..you are lonely when you wish someone else was there with you; you are alone when you are with no one, but for the timebeing you dont want to be with anyone.. when you want to be with yourself for a while.
at least thats what i figured out during the most awful phase of my life.
and reading back i think i didnt directly deal with the issue of loneliness meaning you dont like yourself. i can not agree with that.. thing is, your life is about you, not about other people.. its a choice you make, depending on your frame of mind. sometimes you need to be alone, not because you like or dont like yourself, but because its what you need.. what you never need is to put yourself under a microscope of others making.
1)alone is more absolute.
lonely is a feeling.. u can feel lonely in a crowd..u cant say i was alone in a crowd
2) i hav nevr sat on a rockn gazed at sun setting.. n wondered or felt like havin a person.. i hav nvr expirienced it.. ven i do it.. ill come back here n comment.
