Laila Gabanes Poems

Sa dami ng tambay dito sa ting bayan
Di ko maisip kanilang kabuhayan
Kapag nakikita mo sa umaga pa lang
Oorder na ng beer, kwentuhan sagaran
...

When I hear you talking to someone
I turned my head and saw you
You didn't bother to look at me
But I felt hullabaloo inside of me
...

Every time I think about you,
I'm reminded of the reasons
why I love you..
...

I'm grateful for all the times
you healed my pains,
and calmed my qualms,
and be able to stand again
...

I don’t know how to stop the hurt and ease the pain..
Wasn’t able to build defense for myself to keep sane
At moment of fight the distressed takes flight.
A roaring fist of anger that goes inside my heart
...

Nang makita ko sa isang telebisyon
Natuwa na ako kay Tatay Digong,
Akala ko noon, wala siyang panahon
Maging presidente ng ating nasyon
...

I'm grateful for all the times
you healed my hurts
and calmed my heart
so that I could face the world,
...

I count the hours,
l count the days.
How much I miss you,
I count the ways
...

Your warm touch, your soft embrace
makes everything fall into place..
your soft, sweet smile, your caring heart,
can bring me joy, true love impart.
...

Bakit ba ang traffic ay nakakainip?
Lalo na't gusto mong makita iyong iniibig
Kung puwede lamang na ako na ang magpulis
Para daraanan ko naman ay bumilis bilis
...
