Ich Kann Es Nicht Vergessen Poem by Heinrich Heine

Ich Kann Es Nicht Vergessen

Rating: 2.3


I can’t forget I had you,
Dear woman, sweet to hold,
That I once possessed you,
Your body, and your soul.
I still want your body,
That body young and true,
They can bury your soul, love,
I’ve soul enough for two.
I’ll cut my soul in pieces,
And breathe half into you,
And hug you: we must be, yes,
One soul and body too.

Part B breathe half my own soul into her healthy young body then hug her because they must be one soul one body the male lover loves his own self soul more than her unloved younger soul meaning her young body is all desired not her mind her personality not her soul he wants her young body as home for his soul... Inspired by the poem 'Ich Kann Es Nicht Vergessen' by the poet Heinrich Heine. Dedicated to the poet Henrich Heine.

Part 1 He Can't Forget It seems like the allure of a young body seen desired in an older lover's eyes ignites as the young body is everything alas the soul of the body loved valued apparently as a zero cast away nothing seems a male lover loves an own self soul more than a younger innocent soul meaning the young body is all desired
