Spoken Word Poetry: 'Nine Lives Is Never Enough To Say I Love You'

"Nine Lives Is Never Enough To Say I Love You" is a poetic reflection on the profound and ineffable nature of love.

In ‘Nine Lives Is Never Enough To Say I Love You’ the speaker is mesmerized by their beloved's majestic beauty, comparing his adoration of her to a deity.

Exploring the feeling of a profound connection as if they've been reunited across lifetimes. The imagery underscores how a lover’s enchanting allure is so overpowering that even nine lives couldn't convey the depth of the speaker's passion.


Ken LéMarchand, the imaginative mind behind Stained Love Like Egyptian Cotton (2023), embodies a paradox: a self-proclaimed homebody with the spirit of an adventurer, yet harboring the playfulness of a child in an aging vessel.

His academic journey led him to graduate cum laude from Southern New Hampshire University with a Masters in English & Creative Writing. Departing from conventional paths, he embarked on a solitary rebellion against the norms of the publishing industry, carving his unique trail through the enigmatic realms of literature.

In the course of this daring odyssey, he birthed Wandering Metaphors, a creative haven, complemented by a recently introduced literary and artistic sibling magazine.

While envisioning a future as a teacher specializing in muggle studies at Hogwarts, Ken presently imparts the magic of poetry through private lessons, refusing to be confined within institutional boundaries. His boundless passion extends to offering weekly writing wisdom via his engaging blog.
