The Disinterest of the Siren Mind

When I viewed the painting The Sirens and Ulysses, I studied the faces of the Sirens. They appeared vacuous and disinterested, whilst still beautiful. The mythology of the Sirens is interesting, as there isn't any real indication they are motivated in any way by the role they play, whether cursed or whether simple instinct of a non human being. Of course I'm not sure when they put their make up on or have their tea - perhaps they are more complex when 'off the clock' :) Here I am, that is all I proclaim Playing music, fulfilling the aim Part of a very simple game Cursed in the past, this is the bane No rest at all, not warmed by the flame Incredible beauty, but not vain No end point or need for acclaim Every minute of the day the same No emotions, not even shame Captured but it's yourself to blame Efforts wax and wane No real thoughts within my brain Nothing of interest, nothing a strain Music and death repeat the chain
