How can I wrap text around stacked elements (ie elements with negative margins)?

I'm hope someone can help me with this.

I would like to wrap text around multiple stacked floated elements, however when I am adding a negative margin to the second element the text does not play ball (see below)...

Does anyone have a solution that can help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

What I've done so far here:

<style>
.elements {
    float:left;
    padding:10px;
    width:50%;
    background:#039;
    color:#fff;
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color:#fff;
    padding:50px;
    box-sizing:border-box;
    margin-right: 20px;
    position: relative;
}

#element-two {
    margin-top:-50px;
    background:#900;
    margin-left:30px;
}
</style>


<div id="post">
<div id="element-one" class="elements">Element 1</div>
<div id="element-two" class="elements">Element 2</div>

In short, I put the negative margin-bottom to the blue element, so the red element went up. Then to the red element I gave some margin-right, position: relative and negative right.
