About

I am a poet and writer, finding my way in this Universe through words. I love to write and want to give love back to the Universe through writing. When life became too difficult for me to understand, I came across painters, writers, singers, lyricists, and filmmakers, whose art made me realize that it's all right to feel that way. Life is indeed difficult to understand sometimes and what I need is not an explanation or a manual to make it easier, but to find my way through this difficulty. I always found that way leading me to art and artist within and outside me.

I have been writing for nine years and have published a few articles, poems, and books. The name that I mostly like to use for my identity as a poet is The Lemon poet. This name almost became my identity when I participated in a spoken word poetry workshop and read one of my poems called “The Labyrinthine Lemon”. Since then I have become The Lemon Poet who loves to write about books, movies, series, love, life, pain, trauma, healing, and everything that I witness around and inside me. I love reading books and watching movies and series. I get really invested in the things that I watch or read which enables me to write about them and express my thoughts on them. I do not limit myself to genres, popularity, or ratings when it comes to watching or reading something. This might be one of the reasons, my writing is not limited too. I write about anything that touches, moves, changes, or affects me.

What I would love my readers to feel when they read my work:

“When everything feels too much or too little, I hope it speaks to you without interrupting you when you want to talk, hears your thoughts and worries without making you overthink later that you shouldn't have opened up or that you wouldn't anymore. I hope it shares your joy at times when you're too tired or lonely to share them with anyone, embraces you gently when life gets too cold, holds your hand when you feel too suffocated to be embraced. I hope you can find little pieces of your stories scattered around my work, but not in a way where you feel like you have to pick them up or throw them away. Rather in a way where you feel some sense of subtle safety in knowing that there are words out there that hold your stories, parts of you, parts of your life with a certain sense of softness, that you can embrace whenever you want to or just let them be. The choice will always be yours!”

I intend to keep writing and become part of projects that allow me to use my creative thoughts and words. I want to add something to the universe and people’s lives, no matter how small that addition might be. I want my work, life, and experiences to be a part of this writing journey I have embarked upon.
