Eighth Element

Paint me with wax on my skin,
mirror the sweet pain
melt the candle and shed her tears,
capture me, love me, involuntarily

under my shoulder blades, a hard floor,
in the lower back, in the knees, fear
pass your sentence of love,
leave the cuts on the canvas sheets

in a glass bowl, ice cubes,
next to a hot aromatic wax.
you are waiting for me to exclaim "Yes!"
and silently ask the same question

the wrists are tied with red ribbons,
the pulse tends to untie them
you burst into the eight elements,
leaving a clear imprint on the passions

at the same time burns fire and ice,
pleasure pulls moans from the lips
you put honey on them with your finger,
and you drink the love elixir of my essence

the edge of your dangerous games
                            is sharpened,
Cut the ribbons, kissing the tracks
you drive hundreds of needles
                             into the unknown
,
dress my red-hot body in sweat

how many shades of ice and wax,
if you mix this explosive mixture ?!
the strip on the skin will tell you about this,
I will multiply this figure with you by six

March on my lips will tell about the secrets
that I want to bring to life
you solve them on a full moon, impudently,
manage to curb my wild agility ...

after frenzied, hot contrasts,
in my thoughts there is a polar silence
breathing the eight elements is dangerous,
scraps of canvas are painted with love ...

Author's Note
Regarding the Eight elements in Hinduism;
"The first five elements are Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. They correspond to our five physical senses. Ether carries sound and can be heard. Air can be heard and touched. Fire can be heard, touched and seen. Water can be heard, touched, seen and tasted. Earth can be heard, touched, seen, tasted and smelled. The fifth element, Ether, takes us beyond the physical. It links our outer world to our inner world, where the three finer elements are Mind that perceives the world; Wisdom that brings inspiration; and Ego that gives identity. These eight elements combined together are manifestations of the underlying spirit. This spirit is the spark of love within us all that is our original self." (source hinduamerican.org)
