My Monsoon Wedding

I married you on a day in August
there was no music or lights
I remember that wet green august day
We married inspite of our many fights

I married you one day in August
You complained the humidity was high
so we drove on to the mountain tops
and saw two rainbows in the sky

I love the day I married you
We were two people without a plan
No glamour, no ritual, no occasion, no one
Just 2 fools stumbling on bliss hand in hand

I look back at that week day in august
and laugh at our seven years of banter and din
We had no clue what a gift we were giving ourselves
when we listened to that honest voice from deep within
