Waiting For the Queen

Her calm fettered visage reveals nothing
She is as stoic as any sentry
I imagine she is secretly hypervigilant
However, she is unyielding 

A plethora of pernicious bats 
Might have trouble dampening this queen.
She probably enjoyed stinging the others to death
I watch her traverse the honey comb highway

In an ethereal, astral state, I watch her movements.
She is larger than I thought which increases my fear 
Each heart felt buzz a bit louder as she closes in.
I am the last potential queen to be eliminated.

Much better than a boring chess game. This is quite an exciting drama you've penned here! ~ The King
