What you are wanting is either image masking
  http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/#mask

or adding that mask as an alpha channel, for creating a PNG image with
appropriate transparency ('CopyOpacity' Alpha Composition)...
  http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/compose/#copyopacity

All three methods are looking at in 
  Using a Mask Image with Fonts
    http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/fonts/#mask
You can ignore the parts about creating the mask as you already have
that.

You may also be interested in 'Feathering'
where you blur and the level modify the alpha channel of an image.

NOTE the above was just updated, give it a day or so for the new example
(with a GIF image of a person) to appear.
