Ngoc Nguyen Poet Italian Sonnet

I Long For Your Truant Inspiration

I long for your truant inspiration,
     O Muse, for I've felt your absence too long;
     empower me to sing a gay, new song,    
that with pen I may still bring creation!
Reappear, Muse, to my great elation:
     for you can never do me ill or wrong;
     arrive! so that my distress won't prolong,  
nor shall persist the source of my frustration.      
For your return shall cripple disrepair   
     of my Parnassus, and will have its sway:
so the cease of my creative despair,
like spring that reanimates life everywhere,
     will dawn on this most, most auspicious day
     when comes alive this sonnet through this way!
