John Hamilton Poet Lyric

Love Slave

Love slave

Vs 1
I know now I'm her prisoner...
Don't want- or need- a deliverer...
I don't care people say- that I should make my  escape
There's a strange allure- being shackled.... to the pain

Bridge 1
She's the only love-only love-only love...I've known
She's held me bound-held me bound-held me bound... til now

Chorus
Every move of mine- depends on gravity,
her moon controls my tides...
I rave like a lunatic when she's gone,
I break all the hands of time
As night slays the day....
I'M HER....LOVE SLAVE....
YEAH YEAH, I'M HER... LOVE SLAVE

Bridge 2
It may be cold and dank in this prison...
When she comes 'round light breaks in her prism 

Bridge 1
She's the only love-only love-only love...I've known
She's held me bound-held me bound-held me bound... til now


Bridge 3
Ooh, Ooh, she makes me come...alive
Ooh, Ooh, she gives hope...that we'll survive


Bridge 1
She's the only love-only love-only love...I've known
She's held me bound-held me bound-held me bound... til now


Chorus
Every move of mine- depends on gravity,
her moon controls my tides
I rave like a lunatic when she's gone,
I break all the hands of time...

As night slays the day....
I'M HER....LOVE SLAVE....
YEAH YEAH, I'M HER... LOVE SLAVE

As night slays the day....
I'M HER....LOVE SLAVE....
YEAH - YEAH, I'M HER... LOVE SLAVE
repeat and fade

Heather Crismond September 13, 2019 at 12:58 AM Wow I loved the lyrics. There seems to be a clashing between rhythm and meaning which I love. "Every move of mine depends on gravity, her moon controls my tides" Amazing!! John Hamilton September 13, 2019 at 9:14 AM Thanks Heather for visiting my page glad you enjoyed this one too.

Susan Ashley July 30, 2019 at 8:14 PM Love slave, indeed! The depth and breadth of the passionate artistry and the metaphorical beauty of your amorous lyric is simply stunning, John. ‘I break all the hands of time... As night slays the day...’ superb and fiery, as is every other masterful and emotional line in your hot-blooded song. Brilliant writing my talented friend and a big fav! Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan Susan Ashley July 31, 2019 at 8:39 PM Indeed! If it wasn’t for your contest, John, I would have never written it.
