Best Poems Written by Nathaniel Rogers

All For Her

His muscles they burn
The mind takes a turn
His cap is so wet
Soaked from all the sweat

Crouched beside the pyre
Burned by searing fire
He’d done as he’s told
Found by that to behold

Beauty that is seen
Glimmer like golds sheen
He can’t recall when
She laid next to him

Shirt sleeves much too long
Racing thoughts be gone
Fabric screams when torn
Woe all hope forlorn 

Silver fins weaken
Brilliant gleam eaten
Trembling lips are pierced
His demise coerced
