Mesmerized

Sit quiet; look deep into my eyes, Find my center and drown yourself there. Slowly let go..let your channels run free.. Look deep; let me have your power. I am with you; I am holding your hands, Let your dark pain flow to me.. This magnetism, locks our eyes firmly.. I invade you and let you live freely again. This is based on the work of Anton Mesmer A German physician who lived 1724-1815 His early work led to the development of Hypnotism by J Braid later in the 1840's

As Carolyn mentioned....I had not heard that that is where the word "mesmerized" orginated. So interesting ...and your poem is terrific! ~ Carrie

Hypnosis is an amazing tool, Barbara, and your poem captures its "invasive" power very well. I never knew where the term "mesmerized" came from before now. Thanks for sharing that as well as your great poetry! Love, Carolyn
