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
