I Won the Bout



I Won the Bout

I didn't know her hide-out
But I was anxious to find her out
My body couldn't trace her out
My heart peeped out
My mind made errands in the cosmos out
However I couldn't find her out
Virtually I gave up the bout
Deep within me in the abyss, amidst doubt
My soul searched her out

Lo! At last I won the bout
