Barbara Gorelick Poet Free verse

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

Carolyn Devonshire May 15, 2009 at 12:52 PM 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
