Ogre so hideous
It stands firm
As if sedated
By her seductive charm
This fiendish giant
Of a fairy tale past
Down in the sewer
Is it one of their last
Is it here for a reason
Spawning new life
Luring this maiden
To it's ogreish strife
With it's monster hand
Her thigh it brushes
Intake of air
Her heart rushes
For in her hand
She grasps a red rose
And holds it aloft
In the ogres eyes, glows
It metamorphoses
Before her eyes
The red rose lies dead
The maiden cries
She lifts her head
In tear laid-en see
A handsome man
Stands in front of she
This fairy tale ogre
Had a hidden past
Being spell bound and cast
Not one of it's last
They climb from the sewer
Daylight is reached
Hail the red rose
Natures powers reach
