Unknown Power

By: Maral Maljian

I had no love, nor anyone to care for-
Until you walked through that door.
You filled up my emptiness and made me feel whole.
You livened and revitalized my once dead soul.
Your strength I could feel through your deep eyes-
Which made me long to soar beyond the skies.

I'm sure I see the pure heart you hold-
And soon enough my cold heart you would mold.
Mold it into one which would long for you.
But I doubt you know, for you anything I would do.
This Power you have over me is likely to you, Unknown.
But my love, if you know or not, you will always own.
