Question: Is this a poem only a woman would write, comments!?
take me in your arms and hold me
say not a word, please don't argue
you've heard my words as they've
run a confusing maze
from my mouth to your ears
yet, your heart doesn't know me
you've misunderstood who I am
you look in my eyes and hit a
brick wall
while returning my smile
with your own
I lay no blame upon you
I've failed to convey my heart
how can one ever expect
another to really know
you try, but I remain a
stranger to you
I'm lonely and want to be
known
say not a word, please don't argue
take me in your arms and hold meWww@QuestionHome@Com

Being held or embracing is nice but to me personally I would not ask!. I would be more inclined to start with something like this:
If I could embrace awhile
to taste your warmth
to linger!.!.!. in your arms
I would not say a word
for I would not need too
I like your closing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
you try, but I remain a
stranger to you
I'm lonely and want to be

these are usually the words of women in our village!. they always complain of their husbands not able to touch their deep emotions, and care only about how they look and the house work!. after twenty years she still feels lonely,, because they can't share what he is ignorant of!.
sometimes if the man is unlucky,, in love he would write like it!. if he is really unlucky, he might even write strongerthan these powerful lines!.
nice poem ms!. ma!.ty!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Only a Woman could write it so eloquently! A Man could try,but it would not have as much heart in it! Or so I believe! I believe a Man with a big heart,could certainly give it a very good shot,though! VERY NICE,MA!Www@QuestionHome@Com
it could be said by a man, but not as expressive!. This is a woman's heart speaking eloquently!.
Enjoyed your poem!.
Please forgive those trolls! They have a good reason to act that way: They are ignorant!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I can imagine a very sweet man writing this, not just a woman!. This is beautiful yet it almost made me cry!. I can relate to it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
I believe anyone with a
heart could write it!.
A guy might be

while inking the thoughts

well, it sounds more vunerable then how men tend to write
it reminds me a little of a song i know that has the lines "She couldn't scream while I held I close
I swore I'd never let her go"
it's by the killers - it's written by a guy, you can obviously sense the masculinity in the words since he sounds sort of forceful and specifies the gender of his 'partner'
the song is called 'jenny was a friend of mine'
so what i mean to say, as it is, the poem sounds very feminine, i could imagine a young gay guy writing it but that's as masculine as it gets
but if you want to make it more gender ambiguous, just change the wording a little
like, "i take you in my arms and hold you" is completely different from "take me in your arms and hold me"Www@QuestionHome@Com
