Coupled with overstated Windsor knots
Fresh coffee held by gold fingertips
Cup in hand, he drinks coppers tonight
The other covered with scars, cut by the wind
Aged leather and missing drawstrings
He reaches out
Only to be met by contempt
The absence of punctuation makes it harder to read.
L4-L6 sound nice to the ear, but I have no idea what is being talked about. The conclusion is therefore, even harder to make sense of.
Maybe you should provide some clues in the title.
