Tom Milsom Indigo
If I mattered to you
Then all I would see is indigo
Nothing else I could do
Could ever make you more dear to me and so
Every green every blue
Every red orange and ultramarine
I’ve seen
Would go indigo for you
Every time that I look
Deep inside me the colour’s all I see
And my mind is a book
Rainbow painted a story about me
Photographs that I took
That were once black and white would now be free
To be
In shades of indigo for you
Orange, yellow, green and malachite
Octarine, light plum and eggshell white
International Klein Blue, maroon
Azure, magenta, midnight blue
Harlequin and heli(o)trope,
Tea, tan, turquoise, teal and taupe
Amaranth and Ivory
Cosmic latte, tangerine
If I mattered to you
Then all I would see is indigo
Nothing else I could do
Could ever make you more dear to me and so
Every green every blue
Every pink, black, white, grey, yellow, mauve and
cerise
Beige and ultramarine
I’ve seen
Would go indigo for you
