I missed the vale under the veil of mist

             (Villanelle)

I missed the vale under the veil of mist.
My lurking stars refused to help me out,
When that fallacious road made a twist.

By accident or not, but failed my tryst.
Who picked a quarrel? My subconscious doubt.
I missed the vale under the veil of mist.

My secret nature trying to resist
The choice of reason, mocked me with a flout,
When that fallacious road made a twist.

While on the surface, how to sense the gist?
Impossible! Away from the blackout!
I missed the vale under the veil of mist.

My Alter Ego forced me to desist
From the extraneous way, the alien rout,
When that fallacious road made a twist.

Alas! Attempted vainly to persist
A stubborn wanderer and gadabout.
I missed the vale under the veil of mist,
When that fallacious road made a twist.
