Well, it depends on what you mean by a "normal" poem. Both poems are strictly about sex. "To His Coy Mistress" is written by a man who tries to warm up to a young woman and get her to lose her vifginity, while "A Willing Mistress" is written from a woman's prespective, who is empowered by a male's mindset of that time. (Which doesn't every much differ from today.)
In Marvell's poem "To His Coy Mistress," the term "coy" refers to a woman who is playing hard to get or acting demure and hesitant in matters of love and intimacy. The poet uses it to describe the attitude of the woman he is addressing, who is being cautious or shy in responding to his advances.
