The Talented Mr Loner

He is rather good with people
young beautiful women to be precise.
He has a warm genial exterior
with a core resembling ice.

A modern day Prince Charming,
searching for the owner of the glass shoe
But what’s a hero without an enemy?
So why not play the villain too?

The ever-so talented Mr. Loner,
with more talents than you could dream.
But in this manifold crop of talents,
one skill sat atop the cream.

Profoundly brilliant as an actor,
lust and longing as his muses.
He can transform almost at will
into whichever character he chooses.

His charm can shift so smoothly,
with such an undisputed flair.
He can play the starry-eyed romantic
and in his mind he’ll never care.

But who is the man behind the artist?
Who is the impermeable heart’s owner?
It seems no one really knows the man
not even the talented Mr. Loner

Wonderful rhyme, about a mysterious man! I think it is very hard to know ourselves, we're not able to see ourselves objectively, it's easier to observe others. (If I understand correctly) Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
