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 first and last stanza are nice. The second one seems to break apart after its first line. Perhaps it would help if you expanded your metaphor so the "aged leather and missing drawstrings" fits in better.
