Poetry Night Poem - Just Paint

Just Paint

my thoughts are consumed by painting
visions on beer and absinthe
horrors i've suffered ever since
this depression has been draining.

images of volcanos and palm trees
naked redheads and kink
ferociously trying to link
my art with my desire to be free.

but why not just escape, just go away
to chicago or tahiti or katmandhu?
take up the idea suggested by you
to go somewhere else, come visit, then stay?

because i have family, my love for which i won't taint
a daughter whom i would not abandon
so for now i'l just try my hand in
this art; suffer the images and just paint.
