You've piqued my attention because you're unique

You've engaged me by having upstaged me

You're a headliner

No one can be finer



You prevail through travail

You mount heights to where it is pointless to count 

Your immersion into your subjects is like etching

Your version is always the most fetching



You've aroused and choused everyone

You're awarded claps even when you yap

I'm overshadowed by your distracting appeal

You're attracting me with your zeal



You impose what you compose

If only your scores would bore me

Your diction is impeccable

You are contrary to my prediction



Your gaze is a maze

I am left with agape as the drapes uncover you

Your banter is clever

You're an enchanter



You are an ingénue

You sell out every venue

You're an impersonator

Your voice is a resonator



There is no analogue to your monologues

Your costume is your nom de plume

You wow

You are invincible as you bow



You are a treasure trove

I discover you when I rove

Your smile has luminescence

End the suspense



You are a jigsaw

You have everyone in awe over your unknown flaws

If only you were my private puzzle

Then we could nuzzle and so forth alone



You are a star

Your power over me is bizarre

When will you taste me?

My sensibility lambastes me



Like a needle pulling a thread

Like an axe striking a head

I need you to ream me

I need you to seam me
