The Fight for My Empress

My lady, my queen, my empress

The Fight for My Empress

You rule my mind as an empress

Soft in decorum but strong with your hand

No other contending heirs could strive to impress

Or encroach on what is your land

 

Your reign has been lain with a legacy of grace

Songs and sonnets dedicated to your name

Safe and secure you sit in your palace

A master you play at your game

 

You are my lady and as such I will show

No compare with you can be made

My affection is reserved just as you know

That at my best your game can be plaid

 

Still a champion to win the end is not set

You move and counter my best laid plans

A worthy opponent you have yet to be met

But to relent is not in this man

 

The favor I will win before it is done

Your royal presence I will soon partake

For before the sun sets a champion will be known

The claim on your heart I speed forth and stake

I adore this piece. Words of honor- in which you fight to reserve her heart. Resume it as yours.
A very chivalrous stirring.
Expression and imagery is so precise.

Amazing write.

I has the first line stuck in my head and just went from there. Chivalry was exactly where I was going here. Every woman needs to feel like the royalty they are. I thank you for the words you give. They are valued.

Indeed they do. So very beautiful....for you to say so.
