Metaphor is one of the most important linguistic phenomena that has attracted the attention of philosophers, scholars, and recently linguists as well. Using advantages of the contemporary theory of metaphor introduced by Lakoff in 1992, the current study that has been conducted on a descriptive-analytical framework, attempts to survey the mechanisms of the metaphor of time as moving through places in Sohrab Sepehri’s poems. The results indicated that in Sepehri’s poems, time is conceptualized in two basic ways: the first one is when the observer is fixed and times are entities moving with respect to the observer and the second one is when times are fixed locations and the observer is moving with respect to the time. It can be said that this conceptualization of time confirms a universal cognitive process, that is, the metaphorical understanding of time as things or moving objects in places. The final point in Sepehri’s poems is passing through the borders of conventional metaphors and moving into the world of novel ones which distinguishes the poet’s language from that of ordinary people and even other poets.
