Joseph Jeremiah Naye Poet Free verse

My First

I was branded a randy Romeo
I was not looking for Juliet to
  sow oats
I was young and vibrant looking
  for fun
When I met her accidentally in 
  the city of the Sun
Doing what boys my age were doing
Mimicking borrowed accents and
  characters
Out of James Hadley Chase novels.

I asked her out at the first instance 
  and she agreed
I felt she was too naive and  an easy 
  picking, 
So I thought such innocence
Meeting Francis Moses, my pseudo 
  name
 For cover and get away
Prince charming having ala carte all
   in one swoop.

I thought I will eat my cake and wipe 
  my lips clean
With a smirk on my face I looked away
  easy prey, so I thought
But i was wrong I didn't bargain in falling 
 in love 
Cupid's arrow scored the bulls eye of my 
 heart 
And I fell head over heels in love for the
  first time.
I was out for a prank and became a victim
  instead I got ranked.
