This is another poem I am considering using for a song.

Tempting Feelings

When all the voices
That ravaged your mind
Have moved away despite the time
You are empty and so alone
You to want to hear all them some more

You pick up the phone
But there’s no one to call
There hasn’t been for some time
You shiver and shake upon the carpeted floor
Looking out the window wishing for evermore

And tempting feelings are residing inside
Yes tempting feelings are irresistibly dry
But tempting feelings are the greatest of them all
So tempting feelings never let me fall

Consciousness comes and leaves with drop of a hat
All of my visions are blocked because of that
And all of my focus is on the front door
Locked from the outside I’m in here
Help is never ever, ever near

A movie screen without a movie to show
That’s the kind of disappointment I deal with
Every single day of my woes
Now that’s not sad but just a shame
Every where I look it seems to rain and rain and rain and rain

And tempting feelings come and try to hide
Yes tempting feelings never lie
But tempting feelings are overtaking me
So tempting feelings make me believe

very interesting,,
Len, is this going to be a fast song?
one that I can't hear the words to haha ??
or a slow, one that is music??
Anyway it is an interesting poem.
locked from the outside makes me wonder by what?? or did I miss it??. must have.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

~LenMcC1,...this is some powerful writing.  You have set a scene so easy to picture with your words.  The front door being locked from the outside is stabbing!!!  Great work.  Temptation.....ooohh, OUCH.  This would make a damn good song.  Take care. *Peace.

Loved the picture you wrote before my eyes!!  Intense and deep!!  Enjoyed very much!!  Yes, I do believe you have a song going here!!

what is it today?? i am to be alone in my pain and my emptiness!! but everyone is alone it would seem.... so does that mean none are truly happy??  you must have seen me sitting on my carpet, with that wishful look in my eye.... great work here.

But a mere chapter,
But a man to a woman
Is an entire book.--
