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
L1 is good, but by the time I reach L3 I can't follow what you're trying to say. Individual lines in a poem must still form complete sentences: a poem should make sense written out as prose (grammatical, if not logical sense). 
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.
