Vila (Vily) - The Nymphs

Villa (Vily)-The Nymphs

Vila, the Numphs, Veles to the Greeks. Slavic legend’s blonde, beautiful, supernatural beings. Procopius-historian, narrated their root.

Goddesses, Gods, blessed with the gift of eternal youth. Beautifully dressed, in rose petal white. Irises flash with thunderous delight.

Winged and angelic, inhabiting clouds. Mountains, forests perfectly submerged. Naturally gifted. Attentive magicians, they love to lure man, it is their mission.

Aloof yet pleasured, men eat from their palm. Seductive, sophisticates, Cupid’s close cousin. Ability to morph mammalian form, horse, wolf, snake or perfections swan.

An ancient cult, practiced by Slavs until recently. Worship in caves, offering these beings their nurture, love recipes. Fruits, Flowers, cakes, patisserie alters. Ribbons in branches. The cult of the Villas.

As heads turn for her stamen glimpse, in peripheral visions, caught gifting love. Hunter, grazing serpentine royalty. Majesty’s touch, her look your way, freshens all forgotten.

Nimble footed, toes in points, lighter, lit that hydrogen, she gathers the candies left in armoury. Pauses momentarily, the breeze softly oscillating the haberdashery, left in her honour. tickling her face, less than a seconds kiss, in reminiscences.

Then instantaneous, she disappears. Wet with tears. Search for her rose white feathers, rarer than others. Never discarded, given. You will, forever be cherished in her endeavour to see your pleasures blossom.

🍀 Her soul purpose is naturalising your reality. Her pleasure derived in witness of you blossom Manon. Vila Valley’s purest causality. 🍀
