Sunflower

S-he stood with her face towards the sun
U-nder skies of deep blue
N-aturally a thing of beauty
F-inding new passions, completely open
L-ike petals set on fire, smoldering within 
O-wning  her softness and warm scent
W-ith the lightest rays of touch
E-ven when the sun goes down
R-eaching out as she turns towards you
