Desert Rose: Part 7

Walking wounded 

The stranger collapsed. 

In the middle of nowhere 

All the secrets died. 

Flesh decomposed 

and mortal blood stunk. 

Bones beneath the rot 

slowly crumbled. 

Soul trapped 

In the awful-that remained.

to fight for release 

it had no strength. 

Wide awake 

inside the dead carcass

was undying desire for life. 

As the wind blew 

from near and far 

brought along debris and scar 

Heaps of sand, rocks and gravel 

Now bury the stranger - 

with a dead body and living soul

- The secret of life it holds 

Secrets that were never told before..

Centuries past and all the time bygone 

Beneath the Desert - someone remained..

Introduction of a strange character in the Desert Rose series!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Sound like someone I wouldn't want to run into in a dark alley. Very vivid descriptions that put the character center stage in my mind.
