INSPIRED POETRY BY VALERIE CHELONIS
LOVE IS A FLAME
Love is a Flame
That Cleanses and Purifies.
Dance at the Center
Of the Flame
and Become Sacred.
Embrace the Divine Self
that you Are.
Reclaim the State of Grace
and
Live in Beauty.

SEKHMET
Sekhmet, Sekhmem,
Queen of the starry night,
keeper of Earth's light.
I call out your name,
Sa Sekhem Sahu
I hear your heartsong,
I feel the flame.
Enter me,
red snake,
with golden eyes,
burning.
A love so ruthless,
so passionate,
glorious and sublime.
I am yours to give,
as you are mine.
August 26,1997
LION'S GATE
I am the Gate,
Golden Lion of the Dawn.
Hear my roar through the heavens,
Passionate and Proud.
Walk through the mystery
of my gaze upon you.
Breathe in my fierce embrace
within a dark and terrible night.
Feel my teeth and claws open you
to your agony,
and your longing.
I call your Desire forth,
to manifest Beauty,
as One Heart.
I stalk your Dream, relentlessly,
as you journey through Time.
I wear a crown of fiery radiance.
I chase after solar winds,
and dance to the symphony of stars.
I am the Keeper of Form.
I hold the matrices
as creation's playground.
I am a portal,
a celestial guardian,
of Light and Shadow.
Leap through me,
as I leap,
with Power and Presence.
My love will wound you,
tear you,
and leave you in pieces.
What will you do with your Surrender?

SEKHMET RISING
Eyes of night,
dispel the light.
In darkness tread, softly.
Soundless void,
in stillness rest, hungrily.
Feel her approach,
immanent and wild.
She stalks you, effortlessly.
Behold a golden radiance,
a furious heart.
Enter,
if you dare,
this temple of desire.
Surrender yourself,
to her embrace.
Breathe in her scent,
and her power.
Be consumed,
burn, and
become the Flame.
