The Masquerade
Bright eyes shine through
A mask of silk feathers.
Through small coy smiles
She is magnetism.
Tiers of ivory lace twirl
Across a polished floor.
Spinning through the dance
She is elegance and grace.
From partner to partner
She offers her gloved hand.
At the end of each dance
She is ambiguity.
The music concludes
When couples take leave.
With kisses on her hand
She is disappearance.

The whole poem is great, and I especially love the second stanza, the word choice adds to the beauty and I can really imagine what you are describing.
Great job!

It has a very in depth kind of mystery with beautiful imagery.
