The palace was a labyrinth, their passage through it tortuous and
interminable. Initially they passed from building to building under the
sodden sky. Steve's feet ached; he might have laughed at himself, the
tireless traveler, grown too soft from his months in the city to walk
any proper distance. Abruptly the guards halted.
The underlined letters will make your partner curious and with a bit of
luck she will write them down. Spend time to encode a proper message
such as "Dear Belinda, I love you honey"

IDEA # 10
Memorize one of Shakespeare's love sonnets and recite it to your partner
when you are in a romantic setting like a botanical garden. Don't just
suddenly start reciting poetry as this will just sound corny.
While you are cuddling your partner, ask in a joking manner, "So is now a
good time to recite a love poem to you?" She will probably say yes,
expecting you to come up with something of the "Roses are Red..."
variety.
Instead, look into her eyes, smile and recite the sonnet while you
gently stroke her face. Try the sonnet below. If this is too long, just
memorize the first four lines and the last two.
Shakespeare Love Sonnet 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest,
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
