Shakespeare's sonnets are primarily addressed to two figures: a young man, often referred to as the "Fair Youth," and a "Dark Lady." The identity of the Fair Youth is debated, but he is believed to be a nobleman, possibly Henry Wriothesley or William Herbert. The Dark Lady, on the other hand, is often thought to be a mysterious woman with whom Shakespeare had a tumultuous relationship. The sonnets explore themes of love, beauty, time, and mortality, reflecting complex emotions toward both figures.

There are also plenty of smaller websites with all his sonnets, and some with explanations. I hope this is of help.
