Step 1
You can assemble the two equations into a complex-scalar equation as
z˙=i|z|2z, z=x+iy.
As observed, the radius has then the equation
rr˙=12d dt |z|2=Re(zz˙)=Re(i)|z|4=0,
giving r=c constant. Then the original equation has a simple linear form
z˙=λz, λ=ic2
z(t)=z0eic2t, |z0|=c  or  z0=ceiϕ
x(t)+iy(t)=c,(cos(c2tϕ)isin(c2tϕ))
