sounds like it could be quite lovely. You should go with that, *especially* since it seems different from the norm (though voice as instrument crops up in all sorts of laces from jazz, to prog rock to "mouth music").
Art is about conveying/sharing/stimulating emotion, right? (feel free to disagree...). Certain melodies/progressions do that, big style, even without words... (and even fairly consistently - I haven't got a reference, but sacred music uses such methods a lot, IIRC)
I say go for it! And post links when you have some recordings :-).
I like to sing (good voice, but only octave and half range), and compose songs (not so often at the moment) I do both lyrics and melody - which I thought for so long was not the accepted way (for bluesy rock) that I never had the courage to go for it.
