In Sonnet 35:
The first five lines are saying that the person the poem is addressed to should not feel bad -- everyone makes mistakes and all good things have bad sides (rose has thorns).
In the rest of the sonnet, the speaker is saying that even he is doing a bad thing. He is defending the listener even though he is still mad at that person. He hates and loves the listener at the same time.
In Sonnet 55
The whole poem is saying that the lover will be famous forever in this poem. Famous people can have statues and tombstones, but those things can get knocked over and destroyed. This poem will last forever and so its subject will also be famous forever.
I hope that helps you...
