sour
sweet spring of the soul
flavored with beauty
so refreshing to connect to
instantly lifts a spirit to higher planes
entering a room with a glow
a genuine smile on the face
giving, they share their energy
beauty is their calling card
natural healing ability
soothing to the soul
a balm to all who touch them
these are friends
toxic, polluting the communal pool
negative energy pouring off them
repulsive is their flavor
leaving a foul taste in your mouth
you can't put your finger on it
but every time they're around you feel drained
soul vampires, they are empty
surviving off the unwary
slurp, suck until you have nothing left
they are a friend to no one

Author's Note
if you're curious where I am on this scale I'd say somewhere in between
though I can go to both extremes...

Beautiful B,
I think I'm prone to being slightly more emotional than average to deal with as a friend. Perhaps like you, I can go to extremes at times (very rarely) I might mask my sour with humor or sarcasm, though ... lol.. However, I do usually try my damnedest to make my friendships as reciprocal as possible. I am nothing, if not loyal. I value listening, compassion and honesty. The water bearer in me is strong. I have known "soul suckers" who drain your very life force. Toxic is the perfect word for them
What a thought provoking piece, B
Thank you for the reminder to keep those cherished ones close
Much love and respect

good morning beautiful Blue thank you for leaving such a lovely comment... I like you do my best to keep a balance but there are times I find myself slipping into bad behavior I am gentle and loyal too... this was hard write for me because it forced me to be honest with myself and realize I am equally dark... I deeply appreciate you 💕
Crimsin the power of your resounding poetry is as striking as it is beautiful. The mystery of our conflicting feelings and darkness pales to what we embrace as the resonating beautiful side of our souls. You my dear Poetess are a gifted, beautiful, and an empathetic genius.....another incredible submission!!!!!

good morning dearest poet you know it's funny I don't know about you but poetry can be very revealing to me...in the pursuit of absolute honesty with myself...sometimes it can even hurt but there are things that I guess we need to understand about ourselves that's why it comes out I suppose... thank you for your very beautiful comment I am very grateful to journey along side you 💕

Very relateable piece on so many levels of consciousness sometimes we have to change who we are to be who we are to others with the process of understanding that it will be returned in return for after all fair exchange ain't no robbery 🤔

thank you dearest Stoney for the very thoughtful comment yes I think you're right I try to be a light my depression can cause me to be otherwise at times then it's best I keep to myself I deeply appreciate your thoughts 💕

Respect dear poetess you know I know about those changes we go through in a mental state of mind for it is best thing to do is separate and spend time with ME MYSELF AND I 😁 AS TO NOT LOSE FOCUS ON THE SOLITUDE AND ESPECIALLY PEACE OF MIND 🤗

It's a powerful and truthful verse dear crimsin. It's like night and day, you meet some folks who inspire and then there is the opposite. That soul vampire line reminded me of the FX show called "What We Do in the Shadows" a mockumentary about vampires, where one guy who is an "Energy Vampire" who just sucks up people's energy, but too often have we run into these kinds of toxic individuals.
As we get older I think we tend to be drawn toward people who are surrounded by energy and light, with that almost visible aura.
Beautiful write.

good afternoon dearest Wally yeah it's the way of it I've never seen the show but I've been knowing about the soul vampire for some time...I myself know my capacities for being both so I do my best to be positive understanding because of depression I can be negative... I deeply appreciate your thoughtful comment 💕
