Lost in Translation: A Collection of Recorded Poems and Emotions

by Astrora -

In her debuting title Lost In Translation , we find poet Astrora's words echoing to words crafted to us from a place of both darkness and light, reflecting in the form of whimsy, of emotion, of wandering thoughts themed by the cosmos in three chaptering parts. Lost in Translation is the words unspoken between the lines of what we at times have needed to say. Perhaps the words we still must. Where there are moments in which it is too late, there are moments in which it is also time to begin. The acknowledgement that this in itself is a moment. And in that moment we must love, we must smile, we must cry, and above all, we must be Brave .

I feel like me and this author could be friends, or that I would want to be her friend.

Mostly becuse she seems open to vulnerability and unabashed expression — which I feel this collection was mostly about. It's brave to put yourself out there, to reach for connection.

I think she has potential as a writer and has the innate ability to deliver some great lines. I'll share a few of my favorites to, hopefully, wet your appetite:

"And the concept of time
Is still in love with you
Showers of meteors come
Racing after you
For you
Spirals of pastel neons and electric fire
Dance for you
It's only just to keep you breathing and alive"

" I want that shower of sequestration
Radiating dewdrops of jubilation
To fall from the tear ducts of your eyes I— want so very badly, just to see you shine"

"His own gravity drowned just to feel my flames"
