To dream the world alive

I am a MAKER & POET

I am a MAKER & POET

Hi! Welcome to Image & Verse
I am Rob Kistner
Born: Lawrence Tieke

“I write poetry and lyrics, I create art, I design beautiful furniture, and I design home theaters. Why? Because I’m a member of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion … poetry, music, beauty, romance, love — these are why we live. These are why I am a maker & poet.”

First Light

Original DDE™  art: “Sunrise” by: rob kistner © 11/17/25

 

—-<§>—-

I coax a smile

in your waking hours

to lift the shadow from your eyes—

a glimmer of warmth

like a first ray of sunrise

 

my love

gentle and bright

to help the fragile curves

of your lips

catch the glow

of first light
