Chelsea in Chelsea



Chelsea in Chelsea

Artistic sadness is vehemently profound
Drives you into a harsh ground
Sounds heard are the suffering of mankind
Resonating waves from death’s grind

Do you remember Dylan Thomas’ path to self-destruction?
From him came light and amazing grace
A foundation of tears that give strength to those who hear
Is this not God’s ironic way to cheer?

Chelsea, that neighborhood, is New York City’s dear
The poets, writers, playwrights and performers the world fears
Walk the streets and the hotel Chelsea beckons
A living celebration of aesthetics free of anesthetics every second

This was the jaunt of Thomas, Marilyn and artistic others
Witness this dark red brick building that remembers
Feel the vibrations that remind
It’s my reluctant and willing artistic soul sound
