Roots Unchained: A Book of Poetry

By Sade Collins

Roots Unchained is based on poetry, written by Author Sade L. Collins. The author takes you through different scenarios of love, loss and pain that women or anyone in general may experience. In the many pages, you will undergo the joys of love and the passion that it brings into one's life, however you will also experience the pain and disappointment that we have once experienced in our lifetime.
The roots on the cover represent growth. As we continue to plant our seeds, nurturing our souls will enable the roots to become the foundation keeping the tree sturdy and strong. The roots continue to give us the willpower to remain standing in different battles that we fight. As long as the roots are strong, the tree will have the support to withstand any storm.
The tree represents life that pours into the living. Everyday we live for our spouse, kids, family, friends, and then ourselves. Which is where the branches come into play. The branches represent those we are surrounded by. Those who become part of our downfalls, our motivation, our past and our present and thoughts of the future. The branches are what brings balance into your life. When a storm comes, the branches allow the tree to sway giving it balance against trials and tribulations that can bring it down. You never know where life can take you. Although in some cases when it comes to love you will know when to put yourself first.However be very appreciative of the branches in your life.
Then you have the chains. The negativity, those who try to pull you down, hurt you, cause you misery, make you feel unloved and insecure. The same ones who'd rather see you down. The very ones that claimed friends to your faces and spoke ill about you behind your back .Those who didn't empower you or want the best. They are the chains in your life. People and things that you have to break free from. Chains can tear the branches away from your life. As long as you have strong roots, the chains can be defeatable.
Roots Unchained gives you a view of looking from within and realizing that you need to rise up for love within yourself. You have to allow your roots to be the foundation to keep you strong. You have to allow those who want the best out of you continue to help you gain balance in life. You have to allow yourself to continue to grow and prosper. Never allow situations to control you. Control the situations. With that being said, we hope you enjoy Roots Unchained.

Earth Majesty

Living in it

I’m breathing in it

Inhaling and exhaling it

Yea… I’m feigning for it

What I mean is that I’m feeling it.

I’m digging it

Deep… into its core

Now, I’m connecting to it

Like the waves, I’m rushing to it

The chemistry flows

Intertwined like our legs

kris crossing like vines

As we connect… you and I

Our soul bloom and explodes

Like the love of a red rose

Our love unfolds

Drips of sweat falling like morning dew

Upon our nose

As our lips lock

We become one

Like the rain connecting to the soil

Thirsty for your love

Climaxing beyond the clouds

Beyond the mountain tops

Soaring through the sky

Together, we enter a black tunnel

Indulging into each other’s atmosphere

As you become my King…

I’ll call you my Earth Majesty.

~S. L. Collins

A Fool

All I ask you to do is to not make me foolish

Don’t have me talking and praising your love

Yet, to find out there is another side to you.

Just don’t make me foolish

Only letting others see the perfect picture that’s held in a frame

Yet, behind the picture, there is this sheet of pain.

Lord, don’t let me be foolish

For love is what you have given to me

Lord don’t let me be foolish

Blind to where I can’t see the truth

Lord, give him pure honesty

Let the lies be the truth

And his love,

Let his love for me be real

Don’t let me drown in this whirlpool of fools…

Lord, don’t make me into a fool…

A fool for love

~SLCollins

Emotions

The love from a man is overwhelming

Unlike a man, a woman can’t bear it

Entwined with love and trust

The battle becomes a war full of
