Hi,
solution =
NDSolve[{x'[t] == 2 p[t], x[0] == 2, p'[t] == -2 x[t],
p[0] == Sqrt[-3]}, {x[t], p[t]}, {t, 0, 2*Pi}];
repart[tau_] := (Re[x[t] /. solution[[1]]] ) /. t -> tau
impart[tau_] := (Im[x[t] /. solution[[1]]] ) /. t -> tau
ParametricPlot[{repart[t], impart[t]}, {t, 0, 2 Pi},
PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}]
may help.
Regards
Jens

Here's my code.
