Ali Ame Poems

Watch and learn my little child
Sing and dance, do not be shy
Roll your eyes with female pride
Soon you'll become someone's bride
...

I wish there were a portal
that could send me back to the time
we met in the garden of roses:
you would embrace me tight
...

Handcuffed and in pain,
he looks at the royal emblem
in the detention centre
and the golden lion smiles at him,
...
